《Code Of The Heart》Chapter 6:Plum Blossom And Gardenia
Advertisement
As soon as he left, Jianyu returned to the Angelo House. Anyone can guess from his livid expression that he was really disappointed on Delun.
After he reached, he immediately entered inside Delun's cabin. "Why would you do that?" asked Jianyu.
But Delun chose to not response on his question and remained silent.
"Shhhh!! Do you even know how unfair her life has been to her?" Jianyu said, banging Delun's office desk.
Delun smirked making eye-to-eye contact with Jianyu, "You have time to worry about worthless people? Really? Are you really so idle?"
Jianyu pursed his lips, pointing his finger on Delun, "You brat! I don't know how you changed this much but by rejecting her you have really made a great loss and sooner or later you'll realize it." Then, he banged the door and left the cabin.
Seeing him behave insanely for a girl, Delun raged and threw his laptop.
It was the time of afternoon. The distant sun in the cloudless blue sky washed the buildings in it's warm light. The roads shimmered in the heat of the afternoon sun.
Delun was about to leave for The Wales Villa and as he stepped outside, he found the newly bloomed plum blossom's petal were falling eventually. Then, his eyes got stuck over the delicate petals and he remembered the time when he had confessed his feelings to Veronica under the Plum Blossom Tree. He always thought they would be together for life but separation was meant to be forever.
Reality hit him hardly as when he came back to his senses he found he was helplessly staring the plum blossoms. Then without further delaying, he left for The Wales Villa.
Moonlian wanted to enjoy some of her personal hobbies so she started spending most of her times working in the flower shop that lied near her house. The owner of that shop was an old woman who was hospitalized a few days ago and it was the reason behind Moonlian taking over the flower shop. Every customers admired her as she was sweet, polite and lovely.

Some highschool boys even used to peep her through the window and some even came inside the shop and bought bunch of flowers as an excuse to meet her. Some of them asked for her number and some of them asked her out but she declined everyone as her one and only focus was her work.
"Hey! What's up?" Mei waved her hand and entered the shop when Moonlian was watering the Gardenias.
"Hie! Are you going somewhere?" she asked.
"I was bored to death spending my times inside the four walls so I thought of hanging out with you today. Let's rock the floor today!" Mei said flaunting her beautiful red dress.
"Sorry but I'm already reserved by this shop and my schedule is also tightly packed. So next time for sure!" She sighed then winked at Mei.
"C'mon bestie! I don't know why are you pretending to enjoy such a boring work!" Mei pulled her hands in the way a toddler pulls.
"I'd really love to accompany you but since granny has handed me the responsibility to look after the shop, I don't want to take a day off. The spring has also newly started in China and it is the most favourable season to enjoy the plum blossoms. I am quite sure many people will come to buy the plum blossoms today. So it's a big no if you request me to take a day off." She said, putting her apron on.
"Alright! I am leaving then." With a sarcastic face Mei left.
"Enjoy your day sweetie!" She giggled as she waved her hand.
It's not that Moonlian don't want to enjoy the outside world, but she feared that she might meet Delun, she feared of showing herself infront of him. She tried to keep herself busy so that the humiliation she faced wouldn't bother her. But, whatever it is, no one can change the fact that she missed Delun and whenever she remembered him, her heart always felt something which she was unknown about.

When she was glaring the warm orange sky that was filled with the slanting rays of the setting sun, a customer entered her shop and asked for a bouquet of Gardenia flower. As she had just watered those flowers in the morning, she went to pluck it off and was about to arrange it and pack it when a voice rang on her ears.
"If it's his favourite, it's mine too!"
As soon as she heard those words, her eyes blurred and she lost her balance.
"Miss! Are you okay?" the customer asked.
"Huh!! Sorry for my manners. But I am fine." She bowed before him.
"I think you need to take some rest, Miss!"
"I also think like that." she smiled.
Then, that person took his bouquet and left the shop.
"You are welcome whenever you like to visit. Thank you for visiting." she waved her hand.
It was already 10 pm and Moonlian was waiting for Mei for the supper. "This girl! Where has she gone? She should at least care about time!" Moonlian mumbled staring the wall clock that was hanged in the wall.
Suddenly, the door bell rang. 'Ding Dong!'
"It must be Mei!" She said as she moved to open the door.
"Hey bestie! You are home!" chuckled Mei as she leaned towards Moonlian to hug her.
"Hey! Hey! Are you drunk?" said Moonlian, trying to make Mei stand up on her own legs.
"Alright! Alright! Come in. I was waiting for you. Let's have our dinner." she walked and sat over the dining table.
"I am already full so save the dinner for tomorrow. Goodnight sweet dreams, bestie!" Mei said, giving her a flying kiss. Then she went upstairs in her room.
"Ufffff! This girl. Fine! I will have the dinner alone!" She served the dinner and ate on her own. After the dinner she went to her room and wore her nightdress.
"What a hectic day it was today!" she sighed.
"Try to think of it, what was that I heard?" she wondered.
"If it's his favourite, it's mine too! Who really said this? I am quite sure, it was a voice of a girl."she whispered.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
