The Bauhinia Blossoms [Hong Kong Style]

The bonus chapters for this story are still being updated

Tang Wenyue goes on a blind date for the nth time without changing her clothes or putting on makeup, only to discover that her date is the person she fell in love with at first sight.

The words "Are you okay?" take her back to that year's mixer. It was the only time they ever had physical contact, and yet on graduation day, she hadn't even dared to ask him for a photo together.

Later, she acts coy with Wen Lu.

"Then I want you to hug me. Hug me before you go."

So she hugs him like a little cat who loves cuddles, both arms around him, greedy yet content, as if trying to make up for all the hugs she'd missed over the years.

During college, Wen Lu did everything he could to appear in front of the media, all so Tang Wenyue might see him. In the end, the two of them didn't even have a single proper photo standing together in public.

He sees Tang Wenyue again five years later.

On the day they parted, he stood there gazing at the brownie in his palm. Brownies symbolize "a surprise you didn't expect." The romance of it was as obvious as a confession, and he knew he'd bet right.

Later, he gets everything ready.

"I want to confess with marriage in mind. Will you be my girlfriend?"

He slowly offers Tang Wenyue the bouquet of pink roses. His voice trembles slightly with nerves, and for once, he seems to have lost his usual composure and calm.
