The letter inside wrote..."[If you are reading this note and I did not come back alive on 21 March, know that I was murdered.]With a heavy pause, he said, "That was the exact day that she had passed on.

Tell me, how does it taste?"Looking at her eyes filled with nothing but anticipation, Javier Zhong responded casually while still digging in, "Mmm, it's okay."Hearing his words, she could not help but exclaim, "Okay??!!...

Take this back!" Stephanie Ruan pushed the bouquet back into his arms angrily. She does not want to take anything from him!This action of hers made Javier Zhong enter into panic mode. He forced the flowers back into her arms and anxiously held on to her hands, "Stephanie, don't do this... I'm sorry, I was just joking. I will give you time."Seeing that she has calmed down a little, he slowly added with a pleading look, "But don't make me wait for too long okay?
