His Precious Love

Chapter 185 The Milk Candy

Jefferson looked down and asked, “You okay?”

“I’m fine.” They were so close to each other that Rayna began to feel uneasy. She tried steadying herself, but the train jolted, causing her to fall into his arms again. This is so awkward!

Jefferson, on the other hand, did not feel uncomfortable at all. He grabbed onto the railing with one hand and held her shoulder with his other hand.

During their school days, he also used to take the subway with Rayna, but it was not as congested as it was currently.

Despite being constantly jostled by the passengers on the train, Jefferson was glad to be in Rayna’s company.

“Let’s get down at Cocculus Avenue. We’re just four stops away,” Rayna said something random to break the awkward silence, “I still don’t get why it was so difficult to get a taxi today.”

A young lady who overheard Rayna’s remark asked, “Were you at Acer Aureum Avenue when you tried to get a taxi?”

“Yeah. What’s wrong with that place?” Rayna asked.

The lady explained, “Ah, I thought so. The traffic congestion at Acer Aureum Avenue is so crazy that no taxi drivers would go there during the weekends. Besides, we’re celebrating the gourmet festival at Cocculus Avenue. Most drivers will station around the venue of the festival.”

Rayna nodded in acknowledgment. That’s why we didn’t manage to get a taxi.

The lady was a chatty person. She took Rayna’s response as a signal to continue the conversation. After learning that they came from another city, she told them places they should visit and avoid.

“Your boyfriend is very handsome.” Then, the lady turned her attention to Jefferson. If it weren’t for the fact that the lady’s boyfriend was right beside her, she would’ve squealed in excitement. ”Is he a celebrity?”

Rayna’s brows twitched. “Erm, no. We’re just friends.”

“Oh, friends. I see,” the young lady responded with a mischievous wink. “But who knows, things can change after this because tonight will be quite happening.”

“What do you mean?” Rayna failed to read between the lines. The train was overly crowded, but Rayna noticed that the lady’s boyfriend managed to keep the green rose in his hands in one piece. She could not help but ask, “Mind if I ask about the green rose? I noticed your boyfriend has been protecting it from the passengers. Is the flower expensive?”

“Oh, I nearly forgot you guys are not locals.” The young lady fished out a piece of candy from her pocket and gave it to Rayna. “Here’s a piece of candy for you. I’ve got extra. Ask your boyfriend to think of a way to find the rose!”

“Wait, what?”

The train arrived at Cocculus Avenue, and passengers jostled to get down the train, muffling Rayna’s voice.
