Mary pretends to walk forward casually, and asks in a jealous tone, "Wow, you look so happy. Have
you found the treasure this early morning?"
Karin ignores her. Yuma proudly points to the dandelion and says, "What is more precious than
treasure in this world is the sincerity of people. Look, this is the dandelion that Mr. Troy specially
planted for Miss Karin. This is a symbol of love."
"Yuma."
Karin motioned with her eyes that Yuma should not speak, but unfortunately she was too late to stop it.
Yuma still said what she wanted to say, and Mary also hears it.
"This is just a bunch of weeds, how can it symbolize love? Idiot."
Mary snorts ironically and turns back to Mia.
"What did they say?"
“They said that it is the plant that Mr. Troy planted for that bitch to symbolize love."
Mia's eyes dim. She stares at Karin with a deadpan expression for a while, and says coldly, "Push me
back to the house."
"Okay."
At noon, Karin is sitting on a swing. She calls Troy and it is quickly connected.
"Hey, Troie, what are you doing?"
"I just finished a meeting. What's up?"
"I'm telling you good news, the dandelion is in bud."
"Really? That's great!"
"Yes, it is all my credit. I take care of it every day, including fertilizing, weeding, and watering it regularly.
What are you going to do in return for me?"
Troy thinks for a while and says, "I will invite you to lunch."
"Okay."
She laughs from ear to ear. In fact, she calls him just to have lunch with him, but she hasn’t expected
him to be so self-aware.
"Do you need me to pick you up?"
"No, don't come back. If we are seen by Mia, she will spoil our mood again. I'll take the driver's car to
see you!"
"Okay, see you later."
Karin hangs up the phone. She puts on a beautiful dress and is about to go out.
"Where are you going?"
She just steps out of the living room door when Mia's questioning sound comes from behind her.
She becomes stiff and closes her eyes in pain. Then she turns her head and forces a smile, "I'm going
to a classmate's birthday party."
"Do you need to wear such a fancy dress for your classmate's birthday?"
Mia looks at her hatefully, the expression on her face is very gloomy.
"This is just an ordinary dress, not even decorated with flowers. Is there any problem with me wearing
it?"
"My legs are broken, but my eyes are not blind. You have an expression of joy. Do you think I can't see
your mind? Are you going on a date?"
Karin really doesn't want to argue with Mia. She sympathizes and tolerates Mia from the bottom of her
heart, but it is obvious that Mia doesn't accept her at all. Instead, Mia challenges her patience again
and again.
"Miss Mia, I am free to go anywhere. I don't need to explain to anyone or get anyone's permission.
Believe it or not, I'm in a hurry to leave.”
Staring at her back, Mia grits her teeth with hatred. Mary walks to her and deliberately fans the flames,
"Relying on Mr. Troy's favor for her, the woman has long looked down on anyone. Even Ms. Milan can't
do anything with her."
"No matter how complacent she is now, she will soon fall from heaven to hell. At that time, I will see if
she can still laugh."
In an elegant western restaurant, Karin holds her cheeks in both hands and closes her eyes as if she is
about to fall asleep.
"Why don't you speak?"
Troy pokes her forehead.
"The environment here is so good, the music here is so intoxicating, and the atmosphere here is so
wonderful, but the person sitting opposite me makes me so sad..."
"How do I make you sad?" He smiles.
"In order to come out to have a meal with you, I was caught and questioned by Mia for quite a while, so
I’ve been sad."
Troy sighs, "Sorry for bringing you disturbance..."
"It's okay. As long as we can be happily together in the future, it‘s okay to endure some damp squibs."
She clenches her fist, "Cheer up!"
"I want to go shopping with you after lunch."
"Don't you have to work?"
"You are more important than work."
"I love to hear you say that."
Troy smiles, "It's good you are happy. Only when you are happy, I will be happy."
After lunch, they go to the shopping paradise Bahnhof Street in Zurich. Karin happily walks with Troy's
arm in her arm. In fact, since she began to date him, this is the first time that they have walked on the
crowded street like an ordinary lover.
"What do you want to buy?" Troy asks softly.
She shakes her head, "I don't want to buy anything. I just want to stroll around with you."
"You know, I have lived for twenty-eight years, but this is the first time I have taken a girl shopping with
me. If I don't buy something to commemorate it, it would be a pity."
“Well, let me see what to buy.”
Karin looks around, and she points to a boutique, "Let’s go there and have a look."
They walk in, she picks a cute little monkey doll and asks Troy, "How about this?"
“Not so good.”
He hands her an oversized bear doll, "That monkey doll is too small. Buy this bear doll if you want."
"But this is too big."
Karin can hardly see her lover when she is holding the big brown bear doll, although it is really
comfortable to hold it in her arms.
"It's not big, not even as high as you."
Troy pays the money and they go out of the boutique. She smiles and asks, "I originally chose a
monkey doll. Why did you change it to a bear doll?"
"Because it looks like you."
It takes her a while to realize what he meant. Then she grins and rubs his face with bear paws,
"Nonsense, it looks like you!"
"It looks like the two of us, okay?" Troy takes her shoulders.
"It's not our child, how can it be like the two of us..."
"Then you can treat it as your child."
Karin raises her eyebrows, "Hey, you are suggesting that I am a dumb bear, right?" She twists his arm
vigorously.
Troy surrenders in pain, "I don't mean to call you a dumb bear. I just think that we can treat it as our
child. If I call you a mother bear, doesn't it mean that I call myself a father bear?"
"You stand still."
"Why?" He stops.
Karin puts the bear doll in his arms and looks at them for a long time, and then she exclaims, "Wow,
why do you look so like your dad?"
She is so cute. Troy chuckles and laughs.
"Let’s go, I'll take you to buy clothes."
"No, I have clothes."
"Your clothes are too ugly."
"Why?"
"You can't see how ugly they are."
She says annoyedly, "I'm still a student, why do I have to dress so nicely?"
"To tell you the truth, do you know why I didn't find you when I first went to University of Zurich to see
you?"
"Because your cell phone rang, I slipped away when you answered the phone."
“No.”
"Then what's the reason?"
"Because your clothes are too old-fashioned, I really don't even have the desire to take a look."
“…”
Throughout the afternoon, she is led by Troy to buy a bunch of clothes and shoes. In order to prevent
Mia from being upset at seeing these things, she goes back to Ziteng Garden alone, leaving all the
things they bought to Troy, he would take them back in the evening.
When she wakes up early the next morning, a lavender dress is placed next to her bed. Troy picked it
up for her yesterday. The texture of the dress is really good, and the bow on the side of the waist is
especially beautiful.
"You wear this dress today."
Troy walks out of the bathroom and points to the skirt on the bed.
She widens her eyes in surprise, "Why?"
"I will take you to a place."
"Where to go?"
"Florida."
"Huh?" Karin jumps out of the bed in shock, "Why are we going to Florida?"
"I'm just going there to deal with some things, and then I will take you on a trip by the way."
"Do you make the decision temporarily?"
"No, I decided it long ago."
"Then why are you telling me now? I haven't asked for leave from school yet..."
Troy takes a step forward and holds her shoulders, "With the experience of the last failure, do I dare to
tell you in advance? Someone was so angry last time, and threatened me to tell her after everything
was confirmed."
Karin scratches her head, "But this happened too suddenly. I haven't even decided whether to go or
not."
"I've already asked for leave for you. If you don't go there, just shoot the breeze with Mia at
home."
