Present day

February, the month of love was here again. A very busy month for the head planners at Muse Weddings. Both sales department heads have been busy working through tight schedules to meet up with the in flow of couples who wanted to spend the Valentine day with style. There were over five couples who wanted to celebrate their wedding anniversary, more wanted a Valentine surprise package, and a few who wanted to have their actual wedding on the same day.

"Meifang please get floral arrangements ready."

"Yes director."

"Sister Wang, Schedule the next meeting with photography department, the client are here."

"Right."

"Yongxiang, make extra copies of this document for the meeting, we are expecting a big customer from Japan." Xingsi glanced at his wristwatch. "They will be here in the next thirty minutes. Once they arrive, we start the meeting."

"Okay."

Xingsi breathed deeply as he headed to the spare room. He picked a bottle of water and gulped down quickly. The office was becoming active and busy and he needed to keep up with clients popping up unannounced and asking for services. He rested on the sofa when the door swung open. He looked up to see Licheng walking in other droopy tires shoulders.

"Ahhh I'm so tired." he said as he collapsed beside Xingsi.

"Me too. Today is the busiest day of the year."

"It's Valentine month and every one waiting celebrate love all at the same time. Why?"

Xingsi smiled.

Licheng faced Xingsi suddenly. "Speaking of Valentine what should I get for Muren."

"That's something you should ask him directly."

"No I want it to be a surprise," Licheng waved his hand in the air.

"Muren wears blazers, maybe you should get one for him."

Licheng clapped in excitement. "Ah I just imagine my TengTeng walking in to the office with the beat blazer... Good idea."

Just then the door swung open and Muren stepped in.
"What are you doing here? We're supposed to have a meeting with the photography department.

"Tengteng!" Licheng called and ran to give his lover a hug.

Muren eyed him.

"I miss you Tengteng." Licheng pouted.

"What? We live in the same house, we drove to work in the same car. how can you miss me."

"Because you are my sunshine..."

Xingsi stood from his sofa. He managed to smile. "When you two lovebirds are done, I will be in the meeting room."

He had barely stepped out when he heard Muren and Licheng whispering.

"Don't you think the work is much, it's another Valentine and he will be celebrating alone."

"He's not alone. He has us."

"Yes. He may celebrate with his father."

"Do you think he will want to go home?"

"I don't know."

Xingsi walked down the hallway towards the elevator. He thought about what his friends had said. Yes he was lonely. His last relationship had ended about two years ago, he had also gone on dates and met friends but his heart was too weak to love anybody. He totally immersed himself in work and still hoped the right man for him would come someday.

The elevator stopped. About five co-workers filed out. Xingsi waited patiently. When the elevator was free, he slowly walked in. He noticed a younger man standing in the left corner. He was probably a student. Xingsi ignored him. He tapped the third floor button. He swallowed and watched the elevator slid shut.
