She choose to do it fast, before it start rain, she walked toward flowers garden with hurried strides to collect flowers as soon as possible.

She inhaled light cool gentle wind and started work, she was plucking flowers which thought were looking most beautiful one.

In the next interval on the garden, Incharge Chen was sitting on a bench and enjoying the beautiful scenery with beautiful weather.

He felt that someone was hurriedly walking in former part of garden, out of his habit to look into matter he walked toward former part of garden and he stopped at the start of interval, if there was queen it would be inappropriate his peek into this part.

There a girl in light blue fine robs was happily picking many flowers that her hands were full or she forgot to bring a basket to collect flowers.

Suddenly he froze when the girl moved her face to pluck eastern lily.

She was Ying Jun glowing with relishing colors of flowers that few drops of rain fell on his face when he looked up because Ying Jun looked up the sky suddenly.

"Oh, it started rain," she thought and looked the flowers she plucked were enough to decorate Henan bedroom, she was hugging those flowers with her both hands.

She was close to the rows of different flowers, cool air flew her lengthy attire extra cover and fell on the thorns nearby.

She did not know that her attire was entangled in thorns.

She rose up and just when she wanted to walk to Palace before she got soak in rain, she felt that her attire was tugged on thorns, her both hands were busy carrying the flowers she plucked, she look at thorns then flowers in her hands.

She could not throw flowers as they were most beautiful one she plucked.

She thought to walk with sudden jerk to release her attire from thorn, though it would spoil her dress and if someone that her dress was riddled, others would think that she was lacking character girl but there was other way.

Just when she was ready to run to rid the thorns, someone grimly spoke, loudly enough to reach only her ears, Incharge Chen walked forward Ying Jun, he shook his head that this girl don't want to spoil flowers but she was ready to spoil her dress.

He came and bent his knee to carefully remove her attire from thorns. Though she was freezed with loud command but when she saw familiar face, she heaved sigh of reprieve.

"I don't want to see you riddled ever again after the incident at your home," he suppressed his emotions and said with tranquil voice.

"You understand?" he shook her shoulders slightly with his both hands and to this time rain had already thicken.

She looked the falling rain, looked at him and then flowers she was hugging with her hands. There was indescribable silence which was obstinate too but in this pure manner.

She was clueless whether to run or stay.

She did not thank him back then because of cruel circumstances, "Thank you… Incharge…Chen back then," she articulated every word with a pause.

Their time was freezed for many silent moments.

"Can I ask you something?" he asked with little hope in his eyes. "What is it?" she asked because she was feeling alien to herself. "What kind of person I am in your thoughts?" he asked calmly without impatience.

She remembered the incidents back then and journey to Palace and his action some moments ago and replied truthfully.

"You are kind and caring even to those who do not belong to you," he shoot a smile which directly traveled through her eyes and reached her heart and it got electric tremor but she was naive to understand the purpose of his smile.

"I wanted to go if you have nothing else to ask," she was soaked head to toe in rain, although flowers in her embrace got more colorful due to pouring rain on them but she was shivering inside. "Oh, you should, be careful and remember to take herbal tea, if you did not you might catch cold," he was such careless and she said that he was caring and patted his head with annoy looking her disappearing silhouette.

She walked out of garden and entered in Palace, Henan was still sleeping; she changed her clothes and went to make herbal tea because Incharge Chen had instructed her, and she dared not neglect his advice.
