---- Chapter 2721 At the foot of Advanced Medical Institute''s mountain, there was a peach blossom grove. It was early spring, and the blossoms were in full bloom. A small stream ran along the edge of the grove, and the towering, elegant mountain range loomed beside it. Andrewughed and said, "Perfect.
We''ve got mountains, water, falling petals, and of course, the most important thing of all: beautiful women." He waved Luna over as he said, "Come on, let me shake the tree for you." Luna fiddled with her fingers as she stood at a distance, watching that lively man as she fought to hide her smile. She covered her mouth and cleared her throat, saying, "Andrew, this is too childish. I don''t want it." Valerie stepped forward instead, calling out, "If she doesn''t want it, I do.
Andrew, shake a tree full of peach blossoms for me." Andrew looked at Valerie''s bright eyes, and there was something like happiness mixed with irritation in them. It almost seemed like she was furious yet trying to hold it in. He softened a little and smiled. "Alright, I''ll shake it for you first. ---- But be careful, when a man shakes peach blossoms for a woman, it means for the rest of your life, you''ll be caught in my web of love." Valerie scoffed dismissively. "You think that''s possible?" Andrew chuckled. "Of course, I know it''s not possible. But that''s what I''m hoping for anyway.
It''d be better if it weren''t possible. Your temper''s too terrible, I can''t handle it." Valerie red at him angrily, but his carefree smile made her lose focus for just a second. She ended up saying nothing as. she puffed out her cheeks and stood under the tree. Andrew raised his foot and kicked the trunk. Immediately, a shower of pink petals drifted down like soft rain, carrying a burst of sweet fragrance with it. For a moment, Valerie wentpletely still.
Through the falling petals, she looked at the man across from her and saw him smiling at her with a gentle warmth that felt unexpectedly tender. Her heart raced, and she thought that even though the whole scene was cheesy, it was actually pretty nice. When the petals finally settled, Andrew nudged her aside and said, "Alright, now it''s Luna''s turn. Take a break while I find a tree with even more blossoms for her." Valerie huffed but could not hide the faint smile on her face as ---- she walked off. Luna still looked bashful and mumbled, "You two have fun.
I''ll skip this." Andrew waved at her from across the grove and said, "Come on, don''t be shy. Get over here. This is a rare moment, you know." 1 Valerie walked up beside Luna and snickered, "You''d better go. Look at him, he''s grinning like an idiot. I''ve never seen him act so innocent. Honestly, if someone didn''t know better, they would think he was some naive romantic young gentleman from some family in Chetvine." Luna gathered her courage, though she still looked extremely shy. Andrew kept urging her over until he finally ran to her and pulled her along.
Atst, Luna stood beneath the tree with her face so red it was pinker than the blossoms. She pleaded, "Andrew, don''t. I-I don''t like this kind of thing." Andrew frowned at her and said, "What kind of girl doesn''t like flowers? Besides, this is a shower of flowers. Come on, smile." Luna forced a stiff smile at first. Andrew reminded her, "Make it natural." ---- She slowly rxed and shed a breathtaking smile. At that moment, Andrew hugged the tree trunk and gave it a strong shake. A burst of petals fell over both of them, settling into their hair like soft confetti.
Luna stared upward in a daze, suddenly feeling like the whole world had gone quiet. All she could hear was Andrew''s bright, carefreeughter right in front of her. When thest of the petals floated down, Andrew stepped in front of her, paused, and said seriously, "From now on, we''re a couple. These blossoms will be the witness to our love." Luna was overwhelmed by how earnest he sounded. She rubbed her shoulders awkwardly as she whispered, "A-Andrew, this doesn''t sound like you." Andrew shrugged and said, "Chetvine was too suffocating. Our lives back then were always tense.
It feels good to rx for once. Don''t you like it?" Luna''s eyes brightened as she smiled. "Honestly... It''s not so bad<style>
