When the Han family was having a semi-reunion, Han Zixin and An Xiulan were on a date. It was their first official date after they came into a relationship. She had taken half a day off from her office and so had her for their special day. Lately, she had been taking a lot of days off but what could she do? She would rather get scolded by her boss than miss her chance at romance.
Although career was important, love was important too. She had long left the title of Vice President Of puppy love committee. She was now the president of the falling in love committee. These days all she thinks and does is love.
An Xiulan was wearing a pink coloured dress that she had paired with long boots and her hair were lying open and they seemed to be flowing with air. She was standing outside her office when he came to pick her up. Instead of picking her up on his motorcycle, he came with his car today. As he saw An Xiulan standing at her usual spot to wait for him, he parked the car, got down and opened the door for her.
“How long have you been waiting?” Han Zixin asked his girlfriend.
Yes, she was his girlfriend. It was amazing, wasn’t it? He almost could not believe it. But it was the truth and he needed to accept this truth quickly. He still felt as if he was seeing this beautiful dream and he would wake up and then they would be back to square one.
“Not too long, “An Xiulan replied. She looked around and saw her colleagues entering and exiting the office building. He looked at her from head to toe and smiled at her.
“You look gorgeous, Honey, “Han Zixin said with a soft smile.
An Xiulan shyly said, “Thank you.”
As she was about to get inside the car, he suddenly said, “Wait!”
She looked up at him, puzzled. He left the car door and walked to her. A moment later, he surprised her by hugging her. He nuzzled his nose against her hair and whispered, “I missed you.”
His embrace was so warm and comfortable and she found herself melting into it. After a day full of stress, getting lost in this embrace did not sound bad at all. Instead, it was something that she would be looking forward to see every day.
Getting inter relationship with Han Zixin had changed a lot of things for her. Although their bond was made on the concrete foundation of long and deep friendship, she still felt a lots of changes between them. And she could not say this early in those changes were good or bad.
All she could say that they were now obsessed with each other. Their days started and nights ended with each other. She could not shake the giddiness that she felt whenever she got his message. And the butterflies that she felt when he was near her, she could not describe that at all.
“I missed you, “Han Zixin said again.
She looked up at him and asked, “How could you miss me? We were chatting all day?”
When she said they were chatting all day, she was being literal. Although they both were doing their own work, their conversation didn’t break. Both of them knew what the other person did in their time. Like she said all day, they were chatting about everything and nothing at the same time.

“Are you saying my face in my profile picture is jot visible?” An Xiulan asked him, furrowing her brows. “Shall I change it?”
Han Zixin smiled and shook his head. “No, that’s not what I mean. What I mean is I want to talk to you like this. I want to be with you all the time. I don’t want you to be away from me even for a moment.”
An Xiulan smiled. “You can’t be that greedy, can you be?”
“Why don’t you try it?” Han Zixin asked her. “You will know if I am greedy when it comes to you or not.”
He had never expressed his wish for anything or anyone as he did in her and all the matters associated with her. He was not ashamed to say that he was obsessed with her. He didn’t care what anyone had to say about her. He was very greedy about her. He might be wrong to wish her to stay with him all day but he wanted things this way. But then he knew that it was not possible. Both of them had their lives and he had to learn to be reasonable to some extents.
“Shall we leave?” An Xiulan asked.
Han Zixin realised that he was still hugging her. Although he wanted to keep hugging her, he knew that he had to leave her so they could enjoy the day that he had planned out for her. He wanted this day to be the best day of her life. He wanted to make her so happy that those big doe eyes would shine with happiness. And he wanted to be the reason of happiness shining in those eyes.
An Xiulan was making him go crazy with each passing moments. It had been so little time since they came together and he had already started losing his mind for her. He wondered what was in store for him for laters.
As he broke the hug and opened the door for her once again, An Xiulan took a step ahead. Then, she looked here and there before tiptoeing on her feet and dropped a kiss on his cheek. Before he could process what just happened, she was sitting in the car as if she hadn’t done something out of ordinary.
Han Zixin didn’t even get time to process what happened and how it happened. Before he could process it, she was already calling him to start the car. It happened like a gust of wind passed across him.
As he sat in the car, he looked at the culprits who just knocked the walls of self control around him and closed his eyes as if mustering some sort of self control.
“Start the car, “An Xiulan said. “We will get late. Or my dad will see us out here.”
An Xiulan wanted to ask herself where she had lost her sense when she was jumping to kiss him. What if her father saw him getting lovey-dovey with her boyfriend?
“Are you scared of your father?” Han Zixin asked.
“Why would I be scared of him?” An Xiulan asked. “My dad is a sweetheart.”
Han Zixin snorted as if disagreeing with her.
…..
Han Zixin had planned an unusual date for her. They were driving out of the city. In a hour or so, the sun would be setting. The car ride was almost one hour long and they just reached the spot where he wanted to bring her. It was not a fancy restaurant or resort. It was a place quite away from the city and a place that nobody knew existed here.
As the car stopped, An Xiulan could see long feilds of flowers planted in rows. Every row had different colours and they looked so beautiful that she felt as if the creator of this place had created it with crayons. It looked too magnificent to be true.
“Is this a real place?” An Xiulan asked Han Zixin im excitement. She could not believe her eyes that such a place existed in their country. To the place where her eyes could she, all she could see were never ending rows of multicoloured flowers. If there was a heaven on earth, it had to be this place.
Han Zixin smiled and nodded her head. He knew that she would love this place. Who could not love this place? It was surreal to watch.
An Xiulan was jumping like an overexcited kid who got what she wanted to see. She would go to every place and have him click her beautiful pictures. As if the day could not get any better, all the pictures that he was taking were perfect. They spend almost twenty minutes taking pictures of each other and with each other. There was one picture of them where she was smiling at the camera while he was hugging her from behind. For this perfect picture, she had to ask a worker working in the flower field.
Little did she know that it was going to be his wallpaper. It was their first date after getting into a relationship and a wallpaper change was an essential part of it now.
