A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 185: Don't Take the Rabbit Candy

John lowers his head and asks Lily, "Are you alright?"

"I'm okay." They are too close now, causing Lily to feel a little uneasy. She tries to stand straight, but

the subway suddenly shakes, and Lily falls into John's embrace again.

"..."

This is awkward.

John doesn't think there is anything wrong. He grabs the handrail with one hand and supports her

shoulder with the other.

In the past, when they were students, John often took the subway with Lily, but there were not many

people on the subway at that time. However, now, people are squeezed around like sardines.

Fortunately, she is by his side.

"We'll get off at the Ivy Road station. There are only four stops left." To avoid the awkward moment of

silence, Lily casually says, "I don't know what happened today, there is not even one spare taxi." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The girl next to her happens to hear it and says, "You got on the subway at the Golden Maple Road

station, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"So that's it. The Golden Maple Road is often jammed with traffic," The girl explains, "Drivers usually

don't go there on weekends. Moreover, today is the Gourmet Festival, so they all go to Ivy Road for

more passengers."

Lily gets it.

No wonder she couldn't get a taxi just now. There is no driver at all.

The girl is a chatterbox. She can't stop talking to Lily. When she learns that Lily and John are tourists,

she gives them a lot of travel suggestions.

"I think your boyfriend is so handsome." After a lot of nagging, the girl looks at John. If not for her

boyfriend, she may have accosted him. "Is he a star?" she asks.

Lily raises her eyebrows and answers, "No, we're just ... friends."

"Oh, friends," The girl says naughtily, "But after tonight, your relationship may change. Because it’ so

lively today!"

"What do you mean?" Lily doesn't get it. Seeing that the subway is so crowded but the green rose in

the girl's boyfriend's hand is still intact, she can't help but ask, "I just want to know that is this green

rose very valuable? Your boyfriend has always been careful to protect it, as if he is so afraid that it will

be crushed."

"I forget that you are not locals." The girl takes out a candy from her pocket and gives it to Lily, saying,

"I have plenty. Here's one for you. But as for the rose, your boyfriend has to think of his own way!"

"What?"

Coincidentally, the subway arrives at the Ivy Road station, and people are all trying to get off. The noise

swallows Lily's voice.

When they part, the girl waves her hand at Lily and says loudly, "If you have time, you can go to Sea of

Stray Birds. I hear that picking up a heart-shaped stone there will bring you good luck!"

Then she disappears into the crowd.

There are too many people in this station. John holds Lily's hand and tries to get out of the station.

After a while, they finally get out and can breathe the fresh air.

"Come on, iced watermelons and cantaloupe!"

"Authentic local roasted sausage!"

"..."

The road outside the subway is also filled with people and various snack stalls, which are bustling with

activity.

Seeing that John is still holding her hand, Lily hurriedly pulls it out and coughs uneasily. Only now does

she realize that the candy that girl gave her is in a pink rabbit wrapping, which is quite cute.

John asks, "Where do you want to go?"

"Follow the crowd," Lily says. It is afternoon, but there are already so many people here. She says

confusedly, "Won't the Gourmet Festival start at night? Why are there so many snack stalls already?"

John looks at the crowd and says in a smile, "Probably because it's weekend."

Lily thinks for a moment and agrees to this guess.

They walk along the street that is filled with smells of all kinds of snacks.

Usually, when Lily glances over and has not even spoken, John has already bought one for her. Lily

feels quite embarrassed.

Suddenly, a girl rushes over and stands in front of John. She gives him something with a blushed face.

"May I?"

Lily notices it is a candy in pink rabbit wrapping.

What?

It's the same as the one that girl on the subway gave her. What does that mean?

"No." John doesn't even look at the girl. He turns around and asks Lily, "Are you thirsty? Do you want a

cup of ice cream?"

The girl walks away in disappointment.

Lily looks at the girl and asks John, "Why did you refuse her candy?"

"I'm afraid it is poisonous."

"..."

The further they walk, the livelier it becomes.

John's appearance is attractive, and he attracts the attention of the crowd wherever he goes. The girls

rush over one after another and hand him rabbit candies, asking him, "May I?"

"Why do they all give you candies?" Lily is really puzzled. She wants to ask someone, but no one tells

her. She thinks that maybe people give candies to whoever looks good. "I'm good-looking too, but why

haven't I got any candy?"

Seeing that John is silent, she elbows him and says, "Am I wrong?"

"You are right." John stuffs his phone back into his pocket and says quietly, "We've walked too long.

Let's find somewhere to sit down."

"Okay," Lily says.

They enter a beverage shop, but John soon goes out again. Lily is very puzzled.

Doesn't he say that he is tired? Then why does he go out again?

"Hey, are you alone?" A tall youngster walks towards Lily. He looks handsome and energetic.

"I'm with a friend, but he is out now," Lily says.

She wonders if John is too handsome that even men are enchanted. The young man in front of her

takes out a green rose and asks Lily bashfully, "May I?"

"Are you asking me?" Lily points at himself and asks.

The young man nods.

Lily instantly becomes happy, feeling that her appearance is still attractive.

"Yes, you ..."

"No!"

Just as she is about to accept the flower, her wrist is tightly clenched by a hand.

"No." John looks at the young man. He is extremely hostile. The young man is dumbfounded. "Sorry,"

he says. And he quickly leaves with the green rose in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Lily shakes off his hand and says, "You've accepted so many gifts, so why do

you stop me from receiving gifts??"

John says with a burning gaze at her, "You are the most beautiful woman. You don't need a flower to

prove it."

Lily turns blushed and she lowers her head to drink the beverage.

"If you like the rose, I'll give you one," John says. Like performing magic, he takes out a green rose

from behind him, and the faint fragrance of the flower flies into Lily's nose.

This green rose is so fresh.

Lily wants to take it, but John doesn't give it to her immediately. Instead, he says, "I want that candy."

"Why?" Lily becomes vigilant. She always feels that everyone is so excited today, which is quite

abnormal. "Do you know something I don't?" she asks.

John adjusts his glasses and smiles softly, saying, "The green rose is a symbol of beauty. If someone

gives you one, it means that he thinks you are very beautiful and deserve this green rose."

"Then why do you want my candy?"

"I think it should be delicious," John says without changing his expression, "I want to try it."

Lily is doubtful and feels that something is wrong, but she still can't get it.

John says, "Don't you want it?"

Lily looks at the green rose in his hand and finally gives him the rabbit candy.
