They were walking into the galleries of the busy night market, where many tourists came to visit. It was a time of joy and rejoicement, especially because many were to attend the night lantern watch. Shen Zi held Zoe's hand and admired her face under the moon's glow. Vendors were selling hot pastries, ice cream, candies, and all types of sweet stuff you could think of in your mind. They were walking deeper and deeper, then saw the river which was as blue as Zoe's skirt and a morpho butterfly. Emily was more than happy and enjoyed the scene of this market bustling. "Here, this is steamed baozi. Who wants to have some?" She asked generously. "Me!" Shen and Emily said. "Alright, let's sit and order baozi," Zoe cheered. They sat down on the small terrasse which was just beside the river and a candle lit on the table, making it look more vibrant in the night. The night was warm and the sky was as dark as dark coal over a fire place. While they were looking at their food as Lin was a

When Lin Zoe opened the box, there was a lantern and two knots of different colors. The first knot was pink and the second one was blue. There were also two little pieces of cardboard, to write wishes, and some ink, with a brush.The lantern was colored pink and gold. It had floral decorations and drawings. The lantern had a wish on it written in pinyin saying; May love stands forever.Emily was so touched by the words, she was moved to tears."Sister Lin, your wish is so beautiful.

As Emily was savoring her ribs and fries; Lin Zoe was trying to figure out what was the "Paris International Painting Exhibit," Emily was talking about. She never heard of something like that and thought it could be new. She stopped thinking and directly asked to Emily. "Emily, what is that international exhibition, you're talking about? Is it important to you?" Emily nodded, "Yes, it is important to me, because that is the greatest exposition of painting that has ever existed in the world." "Wow!" Shen and Lin Zoe made. "It is a meeting between famous artists, gallerists, and painters. It is where the most valuable paintings in the world, are presented. It is also a chance for starters like me, to become famous. There will also be a lot of house of expositions; the best among them -- Sotheby's. Instantly, an idea winked in Lin Zoe's mind. "Emily, will there be prizes, there?" "Yes,"

Lin Zoe first had an awkward and confused face. But then, she smiled and had gleaming eyes; like she was dreaming. She looked up to Shen and held his hands tightly. "Is it true? Is that why both of you were so happy?" she asked. Emily and her brother looked at each other; then nodded back to her. She stayed silent, but then, in only a few seconds, she was jumping everywhere. "This is so great. We will be going on vacation, to a good place. Staying here alone is so boring. We will be having fun." "Hmph! You better bring me to castles and beaches. Then, we ride horses and eat ice cream under the Pont des amoureux," she said, holding her two hands, gleaming. Both Shen and Emily were surprised at her reaction and then laughed greatly. Lin Zoe was so happy, she started dancing. She took Shen's hand and called him to dance with her. "Shen, we should celebrate. How about I pay diner for all of us?" "That

Lin Zoe quickly stood up, cleaned her mouth, and smiled to welcome her "sister"at home. It was really her sister-in-law, Emily. She was a little bit scared because, she thought she had been rude and cold. She gave a cold look to Shen Zi, then turned back to her sister. "Emily, where you at the door for a long time?" then she murmured in her ears; "Or, Shen Zi was too excited, and forgot to take you inside the home?" "Oh! I quite came with Shen Zi, but I asked him to leave me outside to surprise you," Emily replied. Shen Zi was still eating his cake when he stood up and closed the door between them. Then went back to sit. "It's cold outside, both of you should come and eat in the warmth," he said. Emily Shen, is the second little sister of Shen Zi. She is an artist, traveling a lot and has a career in painting portraits, photography, and sculpting. Her mind is deep in imagination, and she is desperately lo
