Chapter 170 - ONE HUNDRED RED ROSES [II]

Back in highschool.

Xueyan waited at the back of the school for Jiuwen.

As she was bored she started drawing on the ground.

Then she heard hushed voices from the other side.

The walls of the bathroom was curved inside in a square shape, so naturally if you were resting against the toilet windows it was hard for someone at the other side to see you. Except they checked that corner.

"What are you doing after school?" She heard a male voice ask.

"I'll be home studying." Xueyan heard a female voice this time.

Who are they? And what are they doing here?

She decided to peep, but since she was bending the trash cans didn't allow her to see. So she had to try standing a bit.

They weren't doing anything in particular, he just stood there smiling with his hands folded and resting against the wall.

Shiya had a book in hand. 'Does she want to have the highest marks? Why is she always studying?'

Then all of a sudden, he bent and kissed her on the cheeks. "You shouldn't stress yourself so much, alright?" He gently brushed her hair.

She smiled. "Don't do that, what if someone is watching?" 

"Who would be here by this time?" He smiled back at her.

Xueyan covered her mouth in shock. 'What are those two doing? When did they become so close? They don't even speak in class.' Xueyan pouted. 'It's not in my position to know.'

She looked the other side and saw Jiuwen coming, she quickly tiptoed and met her half way. "I've been waiting."

"I'm sorry," Jiuwen joined their hands and they left together.

That had been her first time seeing them together.

The second time was in the bathroom. She had been having stomach pain so she went to sit it out.

She heard a sobbing sound, and some soothing words from a male. Xueyan stood on top of the toilet cover to see who they were.

"These two again?" She asked herself. Why will Andy have the guts to enter the female toilet? What was she thinking? What if someone else entered?

As if she could see the future, the door was pushed open. It was Qingnuan and Cui Yao.

They came to console her.

Xueyan shook her head, she didn't want to be thinking about those two. The car dropped her off at home. 

It was night time now, the traffic had been terrible. When she got down from the car, the sight she saw sent her into a state of bewilderment.

There were red roses leading from the one minute walkway to the elevator. Then from the corner of her eyes, she saw a black car nearby open.

She turned to see Zhaolin step down.

"What are you doing?" She tried not to smile and act upset. "How can you be so brazen?"

Zhaolin couldn't hold himself from giggling. "You don't like it?"

"No, no. It's not that..."

He got closer. "Then what?" He bent a bit, he thanked God for the fact that she wasn't so short. "You're trying so hard to hide your smile."

"What smile?" She hmphed, looked away and used her hand to wipe her face. Maybe it would help her not to smile. "I'm not smiling, where did you see it?"

He loved this part of her, why was she suddenly acting so cute. "Stop being so cute."

"Did you get me all these flowers?"

He looked around before answering. "I had thought one hundred will be enough, thankfully I had gone myself. In each bouquet is uhmmm, I think about fifty pieces..."

"What‽" She used her palms in covering mouth. "How much do they cost though?"

She doesn't even know, and she's gasping. "About a million... I'm not sure."

Xueyan faltered and took some steps back. "Why are you wasting such money?"

He closed up on the space she had created. "I had no one to share all my wealth with, so I built schools and did charity for orphanages." He presented her the bouquet in his hand. "Now that I have you, I'll give you anything you want and dėsɨrė." He looked down at the bouquet in his hand. "Accept my little gift, this bouquet contains seventy-seven red roses. Seven is the number of perfection. And you are ten times perfect, my lady."

"I really don't crave for all these," her eyes clouded up with unshed tears. "It's you..." She trailed off, swallowed and blinked back her tears. "I want you,"

Zhaolin must be dreaming, if not, why would such words be coming out from her mouth? She wants him? Just like her always wanted her?

There was a momentary silence between them. Everything else seemed to have stilled, their breaths, the air, the night breeze.

He needed to make sure he wasn't hearing things, so he hugged her first to make sure she was real. 

Xueyan hugged him back but didn't allow it last long. She pushed his hand holding her on the waist to his side. Collected the flowers, perceived it and smiled up at him. "I want to be your woman," with that said, Xueyan raised to her toes and kissed him on the lips.

"I will be your woman, as long as you promise not to cheat me." She kissed him again.

"We have been separated long enough, we need to make up for those lost times." She kissed him again for the third time.

"And you must promise to stay with me, no matter what happened in the past. You will stand by me." She kissed him on the lips again.

*

Zhaolin whom thought he would go crazy by the kisses from her couldn't hold it in anymore, he pulled her hard against him and kissed her back insanely.

These fiery passion burning within him almost made him lose it. 

The mouthwatering kiss went on for five minutes before he let her go so they could catch their breaths.

"Thank you for accepting to be my woman." He kissed her.

"And I swear, never to cheat you." He kissed her on the lips again.

"Sure, in anyway you want it. We will make up for those lost times." He wanted the kiss to be deeper but he tried to keep it as light as she had kept it.

"I Zhaolin also swear, that no matter what your past will bring, I'll be here with you. Forever!" 

She felt the impact he used in delivering the last answer. And when he kissed her, she kissed back passionately.

They had obviously forgotten where they were, as they were totally lost in their own world.

Yuxi had arrived earlier, she had been trying to get Qiangshen to come have tea but he kept rejecting. Untill something caught their attention.

A loud voice asking what?

They saw the two familiar people talking. Yuxi tried hurrying up to meet them, but Qiangshen held her back.

"I don't think we should interfere." Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-love_13372375705587405/one-hundred-red-roses-%5Bii%5D_51094459793857765">#&apos;s-love_13372375705587405/one-hundred-red-roses-%5Bii%5D_51094459793857765</a> for visiting.

Yuxi looked back at him and then back at the two familiar people, there seemed to be a fire burning in her eyes. "When did they get so close?" She flung her hand away and tried to go after them again.

This time Qiangshen blocked her with a hug. "Please."

After watching for a while, she pushed him to the side and gave him a stern warning. "If you try to hold me back again, I'll do something that won't sit well with you."

Qiangshen watched her go after the newly found couple and tried to disrupt them. His eyes turned bloodshot from the pains in his heart.

Zhaolin... What will happen if you find out?

He knew that holding her back will only cause her to resent him more. 

He didn't want to be the reason why she would hate them more.

*

"What are you two doing?" Yuxi wasn't her usual cheerful person. Were they trying to drive her crazy? 

And what has gotten into Xueyan? Are you mad, Xueyan‽ 

Yuxi almost screamed out.

Zhaolin and Xueyan stopped, and with their foreheads still joined together they turned to where the question was coming from.

Yuxi looked down at his hand still locked on his sister's waist, got closer and forcefully pulled her sister away.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING‽" Yuxi never thought that seeing this scene would bring everything coming back.

"Yuxi? What are you doing yourself?" Xueyan was startled by Yuxi sudden outburst.

"Really?" Yuxi was mad, mad at Xueyan. "Why do you have to be so dumb?"

"Yuxi..." Zhaolin started but Yuxi put a hand up to stop him.

"That's enough, I have put up with your nonsense for long." She pointed a finger at him.

Yuxi collected the bouquet in Xueyan's hand and threw it away. She also kicked the bouquets on the walkway, away. "Stay away from my sister, or I promise to do that."

Zhaolin was shocked likewise Xueyan.

Yuxi tried to hold back all the things she had to say as she continued pointing at him. She gritted her teeth.

"Yuxi..." Xueyan started.

"Let's go in, it's late and Qingran must be waiting." Yuxi forcefully dragged Xueyan in.
