Chapter 19 - The Scent of Love (3)

Richard looked at the sea of purple lavender flowers and sang

Blue flowers and green foliage, fragrant with fragrance.

I am the king, you are the queen.

Throw down a coin and make a wish.

I'll love you for the rest of my life.

--English folk song 'Lavender'

Bai Yun is immersed in Richard's voice. The romantic love song comes from a deep and magnetic voice, although it is not comparable to the singing of a big name singer, Bai Yun feels that it has a unique taste. It was the first time Bai Yun had ever been so close to a man, so close that her heartbeat and breathing were about to stop. A gentle yet intense fire seemed to burn in her heart, spreading all the way to her cheeks. Her smooth face was now covered with a pink blush which, together with her flickering eyelashes, made her look so happy, so sweet, so compelling to be near.

Richard was drawn to the blush on her cheeks and looked at her quietly. His breath seemed to catch a little. He couldn't resist getting closer to her, to those big innocent eyes and those lovely cheeks, he wanted to run his lips over her forehead, her eyelashes, her nose, her cheeks or her lips anywhere. But he couldn't decide, he felt that every inch of her was so lovely, he didn't know where to kiss first. He didn't know how she would react if he kissed her at this time. He was indecisive and seemed to feel some unease in his heart, which he tried desperately to hold back, so he looked awkward.

Bai Yun felt him approaching and lifted her eyelashes to give him a look. Richard saw that Bai Yun's eyes were warm, soft, affectionate and seemingly full of encouragement. So he had the audacity to kiss her. This kiss was gently planted on Bai Yun's forehead.

The two of them were in a state of pure and beautiful joy, like children receiving a sweet candy for the first time. After some time, Richard said thoughtfully, "The sun is really hot, are you tired and are you thirsty?"

When Bai Yun was asked this question, he seemed to feel the heat of the sun and the dryness of his mouth and lips, so he wanted to drink something. So he nodded to Richard.

Richard pointed to a place not far away and said, "I'll take you there for a drink."

Bai Yun looked in the direction Richard was pointing and saw that it was a village like place, not far from here, with a dirt yellow path running from the field they were in to there. "Where is that? A strange village? Can we find something to drink there?"

Richard said confidently, "Of course." As he said this, he led Bai Yun towards the parking place, his luggage in the car, which he could not forget. As they walked side by side, Richard's hand touched hers at some point, and Bai Yun unconsciously shrank her fingers and turned her head to look at him. They looked at each other and smiled. His hand consciously sought Bai Yun's, touched it gently and tentatively, and then grasped it tightly.

Under the turquoise sky of Provence

lavender, blooming in the desert fields.

Under the brilliant sun, the shadows holding hands

Like two innocent children, they stroll together.

They revel in the purple flowers, the air is warm with the sun.

When the wind picks up, the smell of lavender always comes close to them.

The fragrance of lavender, a faint fragrance, the fragrance of lavender, a melting fragrance.

The fragrance of lavender, the fragrance of lavender

As if it were the sweet taste of happy love.

We will hold hands from this moment on, and together we will

Together we will embark on a journey of true love ...
