The deal
The dessert party at Zixin's side had taken quite a wild turn when the mischievous twins Jian and Nian started to decorate people's faces with cream and icing instead of eating it. Zixin being the center of today's get-together became the very first sacrificial lamb.
Now that his cheeks, forehead and chin were laced with chocolate cream, he had to step out to wash his face. It was on the way when his gaze casually fell on a woman, whose back faced him. He blinked his eyes rapidly when she slightly turned her head to exhale the cigarette smoke.
That woman…
He stared at her quietly and compared to how she looked under the cherry blossom tree, she felt a little different tonight. Her eyes and expression felt sharper and fiercer than before when she wore a gentle smile on her lips as she handed him the cherry blossom petal.
