50 Bloom everyday in Love

Li Hua had never been to this route on which she was with Lóng Wei. They both were inside the palace, but she didn’t know the exact location. Her hand was still in Lóng Wei’s hold. “Your Highness, who uses this route?” She asked. Nervous.

“No one. It has bandoned, that is why you can see how weeds have invaded this route. It has not been cleaned for months, I think,” Lóng Wei answered.

“What if Court Lady Hong is unable to hide the truth!? They will get severely punished,” Li Hua again expressed her concern and halted. Lóng Wei, who was a step ahead of her, also stopped.

He turned to look at her. “Nothing will happen. Can’t you trust me?” His eyebrow arched.

“Let’s go back, Your Highness,” Li Hua said and turned to leave when she felt a pull. An arm wrapped around her waist, and she got carried up.

“Eh?” She gazed at Lóng Wei in confusion as her hands-on its own, locked around his neck. “Your Highness put me down,” she said, with a stern tone.

“I didn’t carry you to put you down. Also, don’t be a timid person anymore.” He turned and started to walk. Li Hua asked him to let her go because if someone would see them, then a problem might get created.

“The more you tell me to put you down, the tighter I will hold you,” he affirmed. “When I said no one walks on this route, then no one does.” His firm tone made her keep her mouth shut. She didn’t protest anymore and let Lóng Wei walk.

However, she could see his face better than before. If a woman did not know his name, she would easily fall for his charm. Indeed, he had gotten good looks. She would not deny it. Suddenly, she shook her head and scolded herself for thinking that way for Lóng Wei.

.....

She almost had lowered her eyelids when they captured a black dot that was on the left side of his neck at the center. She lifted her hand and put her pointer finger on it.

Lóng Wei slowed down and glanced at her, who lifted her eyes. “I thought it was a black dot. It is a mole,” she said and passed a tiny smile while withdrawing her hand. It again went behind his neck and locked with the other hand.

“You are not supposed to act like this openly,” Lóng Wei asked.

“Forgive me, Your Highness.” Her doe-like eyes made his heart skip a beat. “I got curious,” she said in a low voice.

“You have no idea what you do to me. Next time, I won’t hold myself,” he said in his deep voice. Li Hua pondered over his words and found he had resumed the walk.

“You smiled at me for the first time. I fell in love with you again,” Lóng Wei stated, with a bright smile. Li Hua gaped at him and then averted her gaze. She found the route had come to an end, and now they were somewhere isolated. She looked far and wide. To her surprise, the hill was more visible from this part of the palace. The top of the mountain could be seen covered in snow despite this being the summer season.

She wondered how far that mountain was from them.

Lóng Wei gently put her down. Her feet landed on the ground. Before she could adjust her high-waist skirt, Lóng Wei started to brush it down while being on his knees.

He got up and asked her if she could walk well on the hill route.

“Yes,” Li Hua nodded her head.

“Is it true? Because I will carry you again if you are unable to,” Lóng Wei again asked to confirm.

“It is true,” Li Hua stated.

“Come,” he forwarded his hand and grasped her hand. The two started to walk towards the forest.

Li Hua, who always had remained within the four walls of her house always wanted to explore the outside world. That was why she had decided that after her marriage, Feng Lao would take her on various trips. However, she was wrong. Her fate had written something else for her.

She peered at Lóng Wei. ‘I never knew that I would get to explore new things with this unknown man,’ she thought. For her, Lóng Wei was an unknown person. His nature was still unpredictable to her. She could not trrust him either because that word left her life two months ago.

Li Hua panted as the uphill was too slant in its height. The freshness of the air and a different sort of scent was the reason that made her keep walking. It was something unusual she had ever encountered or felt.

“Li Hua, I can carry you on my back, if you want. The place is a little far. I am a regular on this route, so I don’t get tired.” Lóng Wei showed his concern.

“I like to walk, Your Highness. I feel that I will keep visiting this place,” Li Hua said, out of the blue. “I mean, this place is quiet, and I like such places,” she explained.

“Indeed. It is the best place to spend our time together, get to know each other, and fall in love,” Lóng Wei affirmed. Li Hua would always get tongue-tied whenever he would talk about falling in love with her. She felt terrible that someday she would have to betray him, and his heart might break.

Soon, they reached the tabular land, where the entire land was surrounded by flowers, rare ones which Li Hua had never seen. That’s why she found the scent so soothing for her mind. The flowery scent had mixed with the air and with the gentle breeze had spread the entire downhill.

“Welcome to the Land of Flowers, Li Hua,” Lóng Wei said.

Li Hua tilted her head to peer into his eyes. She had many questions in her mind. If it was of the Royal Family? Were the soldiers around keeping a check? What if someone would report them.

Before she could ask him, she got dragged along with Lóng Wei, who had started to run. The two ran across the flower bed, which was unknown to her. Unbeknownst to her, she started to smile while running with Lóng Wei, and when they reached almost the center, they stopped.

Lóng Wei let go of her hand and turned to her. Standing behind her, he put his hands on her shoulder and asked her to relax. “No one from the palace comes here,” he whispered in her ear.

“Take the negative thoughts off your head and feel this happiness, Li Hua. With me, your new life has started. Like these thousands of flowers, we will bloom every day in love and spread that love in each other’s life.” Lóng Wei dropped another message in her ear.
