Chapter 248 - Untitled!!!

"Where is sister Sia?" asked Lu Jin

"Oh...she isn't here?"

"Should we go find them?"

Just as the people were thinking to find them, Zhen Wei waved her hand and said "Don't worry. When it comes to challenging and adventurous things, she tends to forget everyone. By now she must be climbing the hill in excitement"

"Oh...is it good to leave her alone?" asked Jiang Hui

"We better leave her alone since there is someone who can take care of her" glancing at Jiang Hui, Xiao Li replied "If you don't want to die, you better stay put"

Jiang Hui shivered hearing her words. Gulping his saliva, he looked at Xiao Li and asked cautiously "Uhm...Junior Li, do you hate me?"

"yes I do" replied Xiao Li without a second thought

"...."

"May I know why? I don't remember causing you any trouble" replied Jiang Hui doubtfully

"You don't but I do" grabbing his collar, Xiao Li looked at him fiercely and warned "Next time if you dare sing in the library and disturb my study time, I will castrate you"

"Huh?" not getting the point, Jiang Hui just stared at Xiao Li blankly

feeling sympathetic to Jiang Hui, Shen Yi leaned closer to his ear and whispered "Xiao Li might tolerate anything but if you dared to disturb her from studying then you are dead"

Only then did Jiang Hui realize why did his junior hate him. Turning to Zhen Wei, he asked speechlessly "Are all her friends this weird?"

"Uhmmm...I guess so" Zhen Wei replied

"..."

Not agreeing with Zhen Wei, Sima Lin commented "But I don't think sister Ran is weird. She looks fine...isn't she?"

He said and turned to An Ran only to find her squatting down with her back facing them.

Not hearing their conversation, An Ran turned to them holding a fat green worm on a leaf in her palm, and asked excitedly "Look what I found...isn't it cute?"

"..."

Seeing Sima Lin looking speechless, Xiao Li smirked and said "Ah...you may not know this but this girl likes anything that is fat and adorable...just like the worm. Say, do you still believe that we are normal?"

Shaking his head, Sima Lin replied seriously "Sorry, I spoke without knowing. Please excuse my misbehavior. You all are not at all normal...just like sister Sia. Next time onwards I will not speak without knowing"

Hearing his sincere words, Xiao Li's lips twitched. Even though he was speaking seriously, Xiao Li still wanted to call him shameless for no reason.

On the other side, while the few were Sia was climbing the hill excitedly without noticing that a few animals were missing.

After walking for long, Sia felt a bit tired and turned around intending to ask others to rest but her surprise other than Mu Jun she did not find even a small insect behind them. Raising her eyebrows, Sia asked "Where are those few? did they miss the way?"

"No. They were tired so they stopped a few meters behind" replied Mu Jun patiently

"Oh...then why didn't you stop me then?" asked Sia while peering her eyes at Mu Jun

Avoiding her eyes, Mu Jun scratched the back of his head and replied awkwardly "Well, you were walking very enthusiastically so I did not stop you"

Smirking at Mu Jun, Sia thought 'Liar Liar pants on fire. Just say you wanted to spend some time alone with me'

Hiding away her smirk, Sia pretended not to notice anything and said "Is it? then let's rest here for a while by then they might catch up with us"

Seeing that Sia wasn't suspicious, Mu Jun sighed and said "Okay..let's go"

With that said, he followed after Sia but suddenly stopped when he noticed something.

Noticing that he had stopped, Sia turned to Mu Jun and asked "What happened? why did you stop?"

Turning back to Sia, Mu Jun pointed in a direction and said "Can we sit there?"

Following his direction, Sia looked over only to find a cliff. Not thinking much, Sia nodded her head and agreed "Okay"

Following her behind, Mu Jun walked to the edge of the cliff with Sia and sat down carefully with her legs dangling down.

Turning to Sia who was looking at the scenery, he asked "Do you know why I wanted to sit here?"

"Definitely not to see the scenery" she replied

"You are right" pointing below the cliff at a bunch of shrubs, Mu Jun said, "Do you know what are these flowers?"

"No...I don't" replied Sia when she saw the unfamiliar plant. As she was not a typical girl who would love flowers, Sia only a few common flowers and had no idea about Rare flowers.

Expecting such an answer, Mu Jun smiled at Sia and explained "It's called Brahma Kamal in India and Kadupul in Sri Lanka, It is also known as mystic Queen of the night"

"Mystic Queen of the night?"

"Hmm...Unlike other flowers, this one only blooms during the dark and wilts before dawn. It takes one year to bloom but just a few hours to die. Isn't it amazing?"

"It is indeed amazing. I never heard of such flower" replied Sia

"It is a flower that cannot be purchased. It doesn't come with a price tag. It is one of nature's gifts, which is accessible for all and out of reach, at the same time! It can't be a prized possession for anyone in particular and you all can still have it. But this possession is short-lived" Glancing at Sia who was listening to him seriously, Mu Jun suddenly asked, "Do you know why I know so much about these flowers?"

"Because you admire flowers?"

"Nah, I'm not a florist but my mother loved to grow varieties of flowers, especially this one" looking up at the sky, he said "When she was still around, she used to grow these in her garden and take care of it. On my every birthday, she used to present me these flowers and would be the first one to wish me. Just like these flowers, she wanted me to be some one who could not be purchased but could only be admired by everyone" Said Mu Jun with a smile

Leaning on her arms, Sia looked at Mu Jun with a smile and said "Looks like you loved your mother a lot"

"Hmm...She was the best mom" turning to Sia, he asked "What about you? Who do you like the most?"

Turning to look at the beautiful scenery, Sia sighed "I like everyone equally. My family loves me soo much and so do I. But to be honest I loved my grandmother the most. Not only was she the one who doted on me the most but she was also the one who thought me good things. She would make me kneel on durian when needed and build a chocolate castle when it is required. She would make me cry but the next moment she would coax me with a few desserts. She was unpredictable yet she was the most perfect grandma Who I loved"

"You are really different. Others hate those who scold them but here you love the one who scolded you the most" Said Mu Jun

"hehe...say, ain't I unique?"

"Indeed...you are very Unique" Replied Mu Jun with an ambiguous smile

...

Not far away from them, a group of animals hid behind bushes and looked up at the two people teasing each other.

Exchanging glances with each other, everyone thought 'Should We go or stay here?'
