Upon a guest’s request, Zhen Yin went to check out some details about the swimming pool. She saw the familiar-looking PDA and shaver on one of the leisure chairs. She entered the pool area, in search for Dong Xian. As she walked near the edge of the pool, a man suddenly pulled himself up from the pool, giving her a good fright!

"Sorry, I gave you a fright", Dong Xian apologized.

"I am all right" Zhen Yin added "Mister, I am all right"

Dong Xian came out of the pool. She left her walkie-talkie on the leisure chair. She handed his towel to him. She took a quick look at his athletic physique. Her face warmed and she turned away. "You can swim very well?"

"Miss Zhen Yin, can you swim?" he said as he removed his goggles and took the towel from Zhen Yin.

"I could not swim at all", she felt embarrassed.

Dong Xian smiled "Find some time. I can teach you." This is the second time he offered to teach her something.

"All right", she answered.

Dong Xian is drying himself . Zhen Yin and Dong Xian raised their heads almost at the same moment … "the roses?", they said together.

"You speak first", Zhen Yin said.

Chun Qing has spread the story about <300 roses> throughout the hotel. Zhen Yin is curious about the number of roses. Why 300 stalks?

"You can speak first", the sequence of speaker doesn’t matter to him.

Zhen Yin shook her head "No, you speak first …"

All right, then. He thought. "Are you curious why I gave 300 roses to you?", he asked.

This is also my question, thought Zhen Yin "Yes, I would like to know … why 300 stalks?"

"Make a guess … this is quiz time …", he poised the question while drying himself.

Guessing game? She is bad in this area too. 1 stalk symbolized "you are my only one", 3 stalks symbolized "I love you", 99 stalks symbolized "forever", but what do 300 stalks symbolize?

"I give you a hint. It has something to do with Las Vegas", he added.

"Las Vegas?", her eyes widened, but the doubt remained

"Sorry, I really couldn’t play guessing games. Please tell me."

"The name of the restaurant is <300 roses>", he clarified.

"Name of the restaurant?", she tried to recall.

Dong Xian smiled again. She still doesn’t understand.

He provided a more detailed explanation, "That was the place I first saw you"

"I see", she remembered that restaurant "that is the restaurant where both the service and food were lousy… the waiter has also dirtied my scarf."

You got it! "But I could never forget that restaurant …" he looked at her "That is where I first saw you!"

Zhen Yin avoided his glance, "that’s why you gave me 300 roses?"

"Luckily, the name of restaurant is not 10,000 roses" he joked "I’ll be in trouble if that’s the case."

Zhen Yin laughed too.

"Yes … <300 roses> restaurant and scarf …"

"I wish to visit that restaurant again", he said to her.

That should be easy. "Since you live in the States, you can visit there anytime!"

"I wish to visit the place with you", he really wish to visit <300 roses> restaurant with her. He hoped she could accompany him back to the States.

He caught her by surprise again "Oh … I should head back to the front desk now" she started to walk quickly towards the exit.

She is trying to escape again. He asked again as he hasn’t got an answer, "Can you go with me?"

Zhen Yin stopped, she turned round and to face Dong Xian, "It will be nice to visit Las Vegas again …"

He doesn’t hope to hear more ‘but’s from her, "Please go with me."

She panicked "I don’t know" she turned and missed a step "Ah …" her arms waving in the air, her body at the edge of the pool.

Dong Xian rushed forward to save her. He reached her waist but they fell into the pool together. A loud splash was resulted. That caused everyone to look in their direction.

Zhen Yin struggled very hard in the water. Dong Xian stood up from the water. Actually, it is quite shallow at this point of the pool. With Zhen Yin’s height, she should be able to stand up from the water. However, she was too shocked to try. He smiled.

Dong Xian submerged into the water and reached for her waist. Her head left the water. She held on to him tightly, still coughing. He looked at her caringly.

This is their first embrace. Even though it’s for such a peculiar reason, she is holding on to him. It felt great to hold her in his arms. He shifted a few strands of her hair into place. He looked at her, with a smile. Their faces almost touching.
