❤️❤️❤️ The Story of the Flower Boys ❤️❤️❤️

The Hall went quiet for a full minute before every student stood up from their seats and started clapping their hands.

The woman who spoke couldn't utter a word as she was left speechless by Biyu speech.

"Thank you." Huiyin said with a wave of her hand and walked back to her seat, her eyes moving the length and breadth of the hall in search of Bingwen but couldn't see him.

One of the school management of the King's high School stepped forward to deliver his own speech and to remind the students about studying hard.

"You did well Huiyin." Zan whispered in her ears as they made their way out of the school hall.

"That is what my father would have said. Not everyone who has a certificate are achievers, they need to know some can succeed even if they fail in school." She said.

"I like your kind of person, you are just straight forward Huiyin." Zan said with a smile.

"Really? I never thought of that bef-" she didn't get to complete her sentence when she almost knocked down a girl with green long hair and impossibly green eyes. Huiyin has to hold herself from bringing her face closer to the girl face and see if truly they were her real color of eyeballs or contacts.

"Oh my, I am so sorry, wasn't watching where I was going." Huiyin said stretching out her hand for the green haired girl to take which she did.

"I too wasn't watching where I was going, thank you." The girl replied grabbing hold of Huiyin outstretched hand and get back to her feet, the girl closed her eyes briefly and opened it staring at Huiyin with a strange look. "What's your name?"

"My name?" Huiyin pointed at herself surprisingly and at the green haired girl nod, she answered. "Huiyin."

"Nice name Huiyin, do you have a phone? If yes give me your number please." The girl said ungently.

"..."

"You are Just meeting him for the first time and you are asking him of his number, doesn't that make you look cheap and desperate." Zan interrupted.

The girl didn't reply Zan, she was more focused on Huiyin, "Well will you give me? I need to discuss something privately with you."

"Okay, I will give you." Huiyin answered and close the gap between them, she was taller than the girl so she bends her head and leaned forward and whispered her digits into the girl's ear. Huiyin straighten up with a smirk on her lips. "If you are intelligent and you remember those digits, you can call me. Let's go Zan." With that they left the girl who was trying to memorize the numbers in her head.

Zan lead the way to their first class together.

It was lunch time and Zan took Huiyin to the seat they sat on the previous day.

"You know what, let's go to the super rich section." Huiyin said immediately they sat down.

"Here is fine, the food isn't that expensive unlike the other section." Zan said and brought out his wallet and bring out the money inside the wallet and showed it to Huiyin. "This is the only money I was given for lunch." He added.

"Don't worry I will pay for our lunch." Huiyin quickly chip in and collected the money from Zan getting up from her seat and walking towards the super rich section.

Zan stood up and followed her smiling shyly as everyone's eyes went up to them.

Huiyin entered the second section of the school cafeteria and went to a round table with two empty chairs, Huiyin sat on one tans Zan sat down on the other one.

"Huiyin, the food they sell here is super expensive like a five star hotel." Zan said cleaning the sweat from his forehead.

"You worry too much Zan." Huiyin said placing her legs on the table and cross them. By now, they have grab all the whole attention of the students eating. "I said I will pay for our food didn't I? Besides how much will the food cost? They will only add a few cents of money." She added.

"Do you know how much a plate of fo-"

"Shhh, don't worry Zan, just eat whatever food you want here, Huiyin will pay the money."

A middle aged woman came to their table.

"Good afternoon Ma'am Cheng." Zan greeted the woman.

"Good afternoon ma'am." Huiyin greeted and the woman nodded to their greetings.

"What can I get for you kids?" She asked.

"Wow this place is more like a restaurant." Huiyin said with a smile.

"I will like to eat one apple, just one ma'am Cheng." Zan said.

"Zan only an apple? Nothing else?" Huiyin asked.

"Only an Apple Huiyin and if I were you I'd take one apple too."

"And you Mr?" The woman asked Huiyin.

"I would like to eat, Salad, Spring Rolls, Fried Shrimps and Cashew, Chow Mein, Dumplings, Egg-fried Rice, Kung Pao Chicken, Spicy Tofu." Huiyin replied the woman.

Zan started coughing.

"Oh and get me a glass of wine to step it down." Huiyin added and the woman left their presence to Carry out their orders.

"So do you know of any security guard that was killed here?"

"A security guard killed in this school? No, any problem?"

"No problem, just asking."

Huiyin stared around them smiling at the students still staring at them. At that moment she noticed a table with five empty seats, she also noticed that the students avoided the table and no one was going near it. She brought Zan attention to it.

"Why are the five seats empty?

"Oh, that's the flower boy's seats."

"The flower boy's? Who are the flower boy's? Do they bring flowers to this school?"

Zan laughed and pause when the woman came with their orders and then continue his talk, taking a bite from his apple. "No, that's their nicknames just like in Princess Hour, a Korean drama. They are very good looking, their fathers are rich"

Huiyin brought down her legs from the table and started eating immediately and pause to ask.

"So where are the students occupying it? Are they still coming to this school?"

"They are still coming but they are no longer together."

"Why? What happened to them?"

"Well it's a long story."

"We don't have anywhere to go in the next 30 minutes, I'm all ears."

"Okay, there are five boys. Zhengfu is a great swimmer like I am. He has won so many cups for this school. He once swam across the Yuan River and only came out of the river once to breath, and you know how long that river is. It's as if the water was his second home. Jihuang Is a great runner, no one has ever beaten him in any competition. Siwang, has the voice of an Angel, a great singer." Zan stopped remembering them. "And then there is Bingwen and as you know, he's a footballer, a great defender and the last of the flower boy's, Luciano."

"Luciano, isn't he a Chinese?"

"He's half Chinese and Italian. He goes by Luciano or Zhanzheng. He was the best striker in football. These five were best of friends. Everything was going fine with them until a night change their whole life."

"What happened?"

"Four of them were involved in an accident about three years ago." Zan answered.
