*Flashback continued*
''I don't mind adopting the concept of Flash Marriage though,'' Jun Zixuan mumbled.
"Try?" She tilted her head to look at him, "Try what?"
He passed her the coffee mug, "Try the coffee. See if it is good."
"What if it isn't?" She asked.
"I can try to make it better next time," He spoke so seriously that had her smile in an instant causing a dimple to appear on her left cheek.
She sipped the coffee and he could see those dark eyes sparkling like stars. Her tongue peeked out of her mouth licking her lower lips.
He was focused on her every small movement, his gaze lingered on her lips a little longer for them to be just friends.
"This is so good," She looked at him in awe, "Did you add something extra? Why does it taste like the best coffee I ever had?"
"I can make it for you anytime you want."
He grabbed the other coffee mug and pointed his chin towards the balcony, "Let's go there," She nodded and walked with him as they sat on the lounge chairs placed in the huge balcony, giving them a beautiful view of the sunset.
"You live alone?" This residential block was not one of the most luxurious ones in Amaranthine.
But the interior designs and European-styled furniture inside his apartment were no less compared to that of a Presidential room of a five-star resort. It left her in wonder.
"No, Xiao Min also stays with me," He said.
She nodded, immediately reminded of that cute nerd he introduced to her a few days ago. "Where is he, then?"
"A date with his girlfriend," He replied with a straight face.
"So, he has a girlfriend? His fans might be heartbroken if they come to know that," She muttered in amusement and glanced around when her gaze landed on something, "You like roses?'' She asked looking at red rose plants in the corner.
"These were planted by him,'' Gu Min had planted these plants here and there in the house saying that they will keep the atmosphere cheerful, "You like them?" He asked her.
She sighed softly, "They are beautiful. But I would have loved it if they were in shades of purple," She laughed, "It's impossible though."
"Purple roses exist.''
She glanced at him, "They do. But they are very rare.''
He remained silent while she asked, "So, teacher Jun, when is our next class?"
He raised an eyebrow at her, "Whenever you want."
…
Months later:
''Xuan, are you finally confessing to her today?" Mu Shen rolled his eyes as he glanced at his friend who was sitting in the backseat, looking at a magenta rose in his hand.
He did not reply causing Mu Shen to redirect his focus on Gu Min who was driving the car.
"Brother Xuan has such plans," The guy said glancing at Mu Shen from the corner of his eyes.
''What more?" Mu Shen narrowed his eyes, realizing that there seemed to be something more to all this fiasco.
He glanced at Jun Zixuan who was fiddling with the magenta rose in his hand. His striking golden ash-blonde hair was combed to one side while his brown eyes remained on the rose in his hand. Dressed in an expensive black tuxedo, the man looked like the epitome of Adonis.
If Mu Shen was not wrong, the price of the tuxedo was somewhere around 10 figures. Wearing this to the university on their graduation day….His eyes widened, "Xuan, don't tell me you're going to reveal your identity to her?"
''I am," Jun Zixuan nodded with a soft smile playing across his lips, ''Relationship can't be based on lies.''
His voice was so casual as if he was talking about the weather but Mu Shen almost got a heart attack, "Stop smiling first," He snarled. That soft smile that can make the women go wet in their panties was currently giving him goosebumps, "Which relationship are you talking about? Han Mei is the goddess of Crystal University. That girl has an ego large than all our heights combined. Do you think she will agree to date if you propose her?"
''She doesn't like to socialize. That's not ego. And even if she has an ego, I am fine with it. What has it go to with you?" Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes.
"They call Brother Xuan the male god so it's only right for them to be paired," Gu Min interjected while driving the car.
It was as if there was a bloom of spring in the car as Jun Zixuan smiled, "Triple your bonus for five years.''
Gu Min glanced at the man through the rearview mirror, "Thank you, Brother Xuan."
Mu Shen almost vomited blood, "You both are not seeing the logic here. I have known Xuan had his eyes set on her from the day he transferred here but she sees you as a friend…"
"Brother Shen, stop being pessimistic. She only talks to Brother Xuan in the whole university, there must be some soft corner in her heart. Not that Brother Xuan is proposing for marriage. They could start from dating."
Mu Shen slumped on the seat, "Aish! Han Mei is way too mysterious to me. I just don't want Xuan to be heartbroken later. It's all precautions."
"You should get yourself a girlfriend rather than worrying about me," Jun Zixuan coldly said.
"Girlfriend? What sort of thing is that? I only want nightfriends. N.I.G.H.T.F.R.I.E.N.D.S, you get that?" Mu Shen harrumphed.
''We're here," Gu Min announced, parking the car on the campus.
The three of them got off the car as Jun Zixuan took a deep breath.
"Nervous?" Mu Shen walked towards him.
Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow.
Mu Shen laughed, "Okay, only a little right? Don't worry. You, my dear friend, are capable of getting millions of girls without doing anything.''
"I only want her," The man muttered looking at the rose in his hand yet again, ''Let's go."
Both the men nodded.
Just as they were about to walk towards the ceremony venue, Jun Zixuan's phone went off.
