"Ermmm, we'll go to the other side " she brought him to the other segment of the site "This is where the past kings, queens and concubines ermmm " Although she was not explaining coherently, Dong Xian still stood close to her, with a smile on his face while eating the cotton candy.
Zhen Yin continued, "their graves arent inside but those are actually " Zhen Yin felt embarrassed as she was not too certain about the history "I am not too certain." Dong Xian smiled and shifted his glasses into place. He folded his hands in front and started "There are nineteen rooms in the main palace, where the nineteen kings and their thirty queens and concubines were situated. On the other hand the tablets of fifteen kings and their seventeen queens and concubines are placed in Yong Ning segment ..." Zhen Yin is astonished,"You " he is qualified to be a tour guide "Oh my goodness!" "The palace built by King Yuan Cheng was destroyed in a blaze. It was being restored in the King Kwang Hui term " he started to recall the exact number "the area of the place is 56,503 acres!" Zhen Yin looked more surprised than ever, "Oh my goodness!" "Harvard, , Harvard taught you this too?" Dong Xian broke into a laugh, "I scanned through the explanatory notes at the entrance." "Really!" Zhen Yin followed his pace "You have memorized the history in such a short span of time! You are amazing!" She exclaimed. "I am more interested about the proportion of kings with respect to their queens and concubines" Dong Xian said. "Kings?" Zhen Yin tried hard to recall the figure. "There are thirty-four kings. In contrast, there are forty-seven queens and concubines" Dong Xian supplied the information. He was quick and accurate. "This is the way in the past. On top of their queens, the kings can have many concubines. It has been really unfair to women!" Zhen Yin protested, with a smile. "Do you think there is real love?" Dong Xianasked Zhen Yin "Do you mean between the kings and their spouses?" "Yes" Dong Xian answered "It is difficult enough to love only one person in one's lifetime" ... how could the kings love so many women then ... "Will they really be in love with each other?" "I dont know" Zhen Yin replied. "How about you, Miss Zhen Yin?" "The man whom received chocolates from you every Valentines Day Do you love him?" he asked frankly and directly, without giving her space to avoid. Zhen Yin was shocked. She was rooted to the spot. Dong Xian couldn't bear to pressure her. He decided to let her off for the moment "Maybe its not like the kings and their spouses, but " he pointed to the other side " like those people over that side ..." Zhen Yin looked at that direction. Two couples are taking the outdoor marriage photos. The couples weren't compatible in their appearances. Zhen Yin smiled and added, "It's comical and often unfair" "What do you mean?", Dong Xian asked. "They dont look too compatible" Zhen Yin replied "On the exchange of partners, the couples will look more compatible" Dong Xian said, "Their incompatible appearances have actually made them more compatible" "Why do you say that?", Zhen Yin asked. "Some people said that when a couple comes together they will compliment each others shortcomings", Dong Xian explained. "I see. This is quite true. Ermm, Harvard has really taught you everything!", she laughed. Dong Xian added, "Although I have studied very hard in Harvard, I still couldnt find my other half." He looked right into Zhen Yins eyes. She panicked. This was the second time she felt her heartbeat accelerating. (Ring! Zhen Yins handphone rang. That was Xiu Zhen.) Dong Xian sat on the staircase. He was lost in deep thoughts. The information Zhen Yin provided on "Mr Valentines Day" was filtering through his mind. He was speculating on the identity of "Mr Valentines Day". Few moments later, he realized that Tai Jun could well be "Mr Valentines Day". Zhen Yin ran back and sat beside him. "Is that "Mr Valentines Day"?", Dong Xian asked. "What? No, its Xiu Zhen. She is a hotel guest. She is the little girl you saw at the lift lobby", she quickly explained. He caught the gentleness in her eyes, "I think Miss Zhen Yin love children" "Of course, who wouldnt like children?" "You dont think there is?" he asked. "It could be troublesome to look after children, but no one would really detest children", Zhen Yin voiced her opinion. "I disagree. There are parents who have left their children behind", Dong Xian said in an almost toneless voice. This is quite different from his usual, confident manner. "Those may be special cases maybe they have reasons to do so ", Zhen Yin defended, not detecting the change in his tone. She couldnt believe the possibility that parents would willingly part with their children. "Reason?" Dong Xian thought. "If they cant afford children, then the children should not be brought into this world. Otherwise, they could die together! How could they leave their children behind?", he almost flared. Zhen Yin noticed the change in him, "You sounded just like my father! His reaction towards this situation is just like you.How about your father?" Dong Xian do not wish to continue, "Its getting late. Let's head back." He started to walk away. She followed behind. He stopped to wait for her.
