Another day, and another bouquet, Shen Wei thinks with a smile. He has never been so eager to go to work before. Now he can’t wait, as soon as the alarm clock goes off, he jumps up and starts getting ready, paying special attention to his hair, under his brother’s amused gaze.

By the way, why is Yezun still here? Wei is fine now, he can't hide anymore the fact that he never thinks of Chang but only at the next bouquet of flowers... it is obvious by the way he smiles whenever he says "I have to go to work", and usually Yezun would be vanished already, maybe this girl really got to him...

Wei smiles, thinking of his brother being in love.
And in love with Yunlan's fiancee...

He enters the shop with a bright smile, it seems like he can’t stop smiling. The owner is not here today, only the girl working in the back. A customer enters, Wei hears the doorbell chime and turns around immediately, but it’s not Yunlan. He will come later.

He pays the customer his full attention, or at least he tries to since his eyes keep drifting to the door. The customer pays and goes away, then another one enters, and Wei does what he’s paid for. When will Yunlan arrive today? One by one, customers come and go, and still no Yunlan.

The morning goes by very slowly today, it feels like a month to Wei but it’s merely been four hours. He’ll have to close the shop in thirty minutes, Wei frowns but then smiles again, he will see Yunlan this afternoon then, right?

At that moment the doorbell chimes again. Yunlan!

Wei’s heart starts beating faster while he moves forward to greet him. They start talking about today’s bouquet, but Yunlan doesn’t chat much, is something wrong with him? He spends a lot of time looking at the flowers, one by one, agrees on some than changes his mind, the thirty minutes go by and the bouquet is far from ready.

The girl appears and looks at Wei, he tells her not to worry and to put on the 'closed' sign, he’ll finish here before going out.

The girl shrugs and does as she’s told as long as she’s not the one doing overtime.

Wei turns back to Yunlan’s bouquet, but Yunlan doesn’t seem happy with it, and asks to see different flowers, he says he wants something special today.

Wei frowns, something special? Why? Who is it for?

He doesn’t ask, instead leads him in the back to show him the latest flowers arrived.

Once they’re out of anyone’s view, Yunlan comes close, too close, and puts his hands on Wei’s arms along his sides. Wei remains still, Yunlan leans forward, so he asks, " What are you doing?"

Yunlan says in a low voice, "I’m going to kiss you."

Wei shivers. "You can’t, you’re engaged."

"I was never in love with her."

Wei pushes him away. "You’re deceiving her?"

"You’re worrying about her? You’re so cute," Yunlan says before coming again too close. "It was our fathers' idea, she doesn’t want to marry me either."

Wei looks at him, still uncertain.

"I know what to do, I'll talk to my father, don’t worry." Yunlan leans forward and presses his lips on Wei's.

There it is, that feeling, the soft lips that haunted his dreams, Yunlan feels like he’s finally found his place.

Their lips start moving, tasting the feeling, they both close their eyes and open their mouth to lose themselves in a long, deep kiss that leaves them both breathless.

Yunlan is savouring the moment. He came here today with the precise intention to close the circle. It’s been long enough, he has longed for him long enough. How could anyone wait any more than he has?

Ever since their first encounter he has wanted him, and after spending time with him he wants him even more. Everything about him entices him and makes him long for more.

There’s only one thing that bothers him now.
"How could you forget all about me? Forget what happened between us? Forget what you did to me?"

Wei is taken aback, he doesn’t even know what he’s talking about. "What... what happened? What did I do to you?"

"You seduced me."
