Attracting bees and butterflies

Uncle Tek who was watching from afar, did not know if he should continue to watch or look away.

Shen Ji Yu's people were staring from afar as well with mouth wide open, the past one week they were secretly following a scrawny young man with their boss, they were unsure the purpose of their pursuit. Initially, they misunderstood and assumed the lad had somehow managed to offend their boss and had pity him inwardly. Suddenly they saw their boss acting intimate with the lad, causing them to gasp in shock.

Damn, they knew it, finally their boss decided to come clean. The next thing they knew the lad is actually a lady that he knew since was a child. Their boss is truly enamoured and smitten by the lady despite many years later.

They had seen prettier lady approaching their boss but their boss had always maintained that he already have someone in his heart, they did not believe him because they had never seen a lady beside him but seeing their boss acting this way today is truly an eye opener. Seeing is believing. Their boss never behaved so shameless before and this is the first time they witnessed his shamelessness and they were appalled by it. Who knew that their boss could act that way without flinching.

Shen Ji Yu walked hand in hand with Du Ru Ran towards the parked bicycle leaning against the tree.

"Have to trouble Mr Shen to ride with me," as she gestured him to take the lead.

"Ok milady, my pleasure," he said gesturing her to take the seat the back.

Even though he was in Japan, he was kept up to date regarding her phobias of car and her love for bicycles. Hence, he learnt how to ride the bicycle as well.

She hugged him at his waist and placed her face on his back. He smiled in satisfaction at her actions. Uncle Tek also grabbed his own bicycle while Shen Ji Yu's men board their vehicles.

"Hotpot?" he asked.

"Mmm, okay!" she said happily. She loves eating hotpot. She knew he knows because he must have put an effort to find out her favourite.

The breeze blew her hair as they rose against the wind. Occasionally she will let go of his waist to raise her arms to enjoy the breeze. She wants to enjoy this carefree moment for as long as it could last.

He cycled all the way to Chinatown, which is about 20 mins away by bicycle. He parked the bicycle once arrived at the famous hotpot hawker stall. He then held her hands and helped her get off the bicycle once they arrived. She smiled brilliantly as she allowed him to lead her. He even pulled a stool out and wiped it clean before placing her gently on the stool. He then just sat on his own stool. Throughout the whole process, never once he let her hands go.

His actions did not go unnoticed by the girls who were eating nearby. Those that were singles sighed at their luck, thinking how lucky the girl he was fussing over and wishing that they were that girl instead. His looks and appearance is a man worthy to be a famous celebrity, truly a handsome man with sturdy built. They sighed once more while looking jealously at the girl sitting across the handsome man. In some of their mind, their looks are way better than that girl and they lamented on how lucky that girl is that she snagged such good prize with her so-so looks and nothing to be impressed body.

Meanwhile, those females who were eating with their partners glared daggers at their partners, some even pinched and kicked their partners asking them to learn from Shen Ji Yu. They dreamily compliment Shen Ji Yu as a romantic guy and harshly told their partners to learn from him.

The guys felt greatly wronged and immediately form an immersed dislike to Shen Ji Yu. At the same time, their eyes lingered on the lady opposite of the hateful man, one look at her you would really not think that she is beautiful but somehow she possess something that makes one hard to look away. She has a very mesmerising aura and the more one stare one would find the person they are staring at, turn prettier every moment. Just as one thought a person cannot be prettier any longer, she flashed a blinding smile that shoots tiny arrows to directly to the hearts of those observing, causing sparkles and ripples, igniting a passion to dominate and conquer. Damn, that man is truly lucky to capture such rare beauty, those men lamented. Seeing their men mesmerised by the lady, made the ladies angrier and some even stomped on their partner foot showing outright displeasure.

The two lovebirds, who weren't really aware they were acting like lovebirds were oblivious to whatsoever that were happening opposite, across and beside them because each other only had eyes for each other. They were practically in their own world. Their guards who were watching on were stunned with the happenings around the two and find such scenes are truly depressing especially to those who are still single and to those who are in a complicated relationship.

There were many other hawker stalls surrounding the hotpot stall, Uncle Tek sat down in a beef noodle stall opposite them. One, he was afraid he might attract unwanted attraction as those earlier thugs might recognise him. Two, he really wasn't a fan of spicy hotpot and thirdly, he really do not want to eat dog food as such close proximity. Even at his current distance, he is lamenting his own fate.
