Ziwen was utterly oblivious to Li Xiu's hidden affection for him. In his mind, he always viewed Li Xiu, who was older than him, as a sister. She looked strikingly similar to He Li, and was even gentler. Ziwen had a particular liking for her flower shop - a sanctuary where he could relax whose charm was compounded by its owner. Hard and intense training sessions and monotony of the military life had led him to seek solace here. Every time he set foot in the store, he was showered with boundless tenderness from Li Xiu. He could enjoy delicious meals and specially prepared Green Island beer, followed by a cup of fragrant tea, in her flower shop. Everything about the shop gave him a sense of warmth and comfort. It was a place where he could feel sisterly love and tenderness. There was a small secret he harboured — he was fascinated by Li Xiu's beautiful eyes. They seemed to speak with tender eloquence.
