“Ding, ring, ring ---“the wind chime at the entrance rang. Luhan heard footsteps striding towards the counter. He lifted up his head and tried to squint his doe-like eyes to get used to the strong sunlight sprayed in through the entrance. As a consequence for reading a botanical encyclopedia under the dim light, he could hardly recognize the tall figure in front of him. However, judging from the mild yet familiar scent of cologne, he managed to lit up a lovely smile before you blink your eyes.

 “ Good morning, Mr. Wu! How can I help you today?”

The handsome man before him responded with a gummy smile and greeted him politely, “Good morning Luhan. What’s your recommendation?”

“What about the violets? They are appealing with great aroma today, the best choice to capture a damsel’s heart!”Luhan teased with a cheerful tone while grabbing a stalk of violet from the container, handing it to Mr. Wu. He felt contented when Mr. Wu seemed so interested in the violet. “Okay, I’ll have this.”

He couldn’t forget the first time when Mr. Wu walked into the florist’s.
