《Why Are You Blushing?》 CH 1.1 Today was the first anniversary of Vasilia¡¯s studio. Eustoma and Nandina were placed in the vase on the table. The Eustoma was very beautiful. Its pale pink and snow white color was especially in keeping with the decoration here. Vasilia sat on a soft chair by the table, adjusting the flowers gently with her fingertips. A batch of high-end wedding dresses arrived and was carefully moved in by the clerks. When the sunlight shone in, the tiny diamonds on the dresses glistened. As there was an appointment of a client in advance, when it was time, Vasilia went outside to wait. The new couple arrived in time, Vasilia welcomed them in and politely asked, ¡°Do you have any thoughts about your wedding ceremony?¡± The man and woman looked affectionate. The woman was very beautiful. Her long wavy hair was decorated with a pearl hairpin on her head. From the accessories and bag, it was easy to see that she was a little princess who was taken good care of. Her man was plain in appearance. His lips always raise a bit when speaking, letting out a taste of frivolous. Libby looked at Vasilia with anticipation. ¡°I¡¯ve heard about your wedding planning studio before, and my friend recommended you to me, so I came specifically.¡± Vasilia smiled and said, ¡°I would be honored if I could provide you with the necessary assistance.¡± Libby turned to the man, ¡°How do you think, Owen?¡± Owen looked a bit lazy. He glanced at the brochure and casually said, ¡°Glad you like it. Buy whatever you like.¡± ¡°But I hope you¡¯ll enjoy our wedding, too.¡± ¡°I said, it was up to you.¡± As he said this, the man already showed some impatience on his face. Libby glared at him but didn¡¯t care much. She went on to read the brochure in her hand cheerfully. After a while, the man requested to go out for a cigarette. It seemed that he couldn¡¯t stay any longer. Libby apologized to Vasilia, ¡°Sorry, he¡¯s a bit of a smoker. But he promised me to quit smoking after marriage.¡± Vasilia raised her eyebrows slightly and continued to introduce some other schemes to Libby. Vasilia¡¯s studio had different kinds of customers coming and going. She had seen all kinds of men during her work. Women in love were often careless about men¡¯s attitudes. But Vasilia had developed a pair of piercing eyes. Men¡¯s attitudes were mostly represented when discussing wedding details. However, it was inconvenient for her to say anything most of the time. She just smiled and let it be. By the time the couple was sent away, it was nearly closing time. The staff walked around and asked, ¡°Boss, it¡¯s the first anniversary of our studio, shall we go out to celebrate?¡± Vasilia promised to send red envelopes in the WeChat group after she went back later this evening. As she played games with her friends and almost couldn¡¯t get up this morning, she needed to go back to catch up on sleeping tonight. The celebrating dinner could be made up later. When Vasilia drove downstairs to the community, she remembered the topic discussed by her neighbors in the elevator days ago. ¡°I heard that a new neighbor has moved to the 14th floor.¡± ¡°A man or a woman?¡± ¡°A man. He¡¯s very handsome, almost 188cm in height, stoic disposition, cold and gentle, with white shirts and black pants, perfect figure ratio. This is the first time I have seen such a handsome person in daily life. He¡¯s much more handsome than a star. When I met him that day, I was ashamed to look directly at him.¡± ¡°What a stretch! ¡± ¡°Believe it or not.¡± ¡°¡­ ¡± ¡°¡­ ¡± Vasilia listened but didn¡¯t think much. Although she was interested in handsome boys, she didn¡¯t need to be interested in a stranger. But at 10 p.m. last night, the neighbor on the 14th floor suddenly sent a message in the community group chat, which made Vasilia think of the gossip in the elevator. cjy: ¡°Who is the resident of Room 1501?¡± Vasilia was still in the game. She replied immediately after reading the message. ¡°It¡¯s me. What¡¯s the matter?¡± cjy: ¡°I live below you. Your bathroom is leaking.¡± CH 1.2 Vasilia quickly ran to the bathroom to have a look when reading the message. She did take a bath just now, but now she didn¡¯t use water. Probably the leaking was caused by her shower. Vasilia didn¡¯t like communicating in the group chat. She thought it would be better to add the neighbor in WeChat and solve the problem privately. She found the resident of Room 1401 in the group and added him. She waited for a while for him to pass the application. Five minutes passed, and the man still didn¡¯t pass her request. Vasilia opened the group chat interface and saw ¡­ cjy: ¡°I hope you can give me a solution tomorrow.¡± Vasilia: ¡°¡­ ¡° So he was online. Vasilia checked her chat interface again. Sure enough, this man didn¡¯t add her. He was so aloof. It seemed that the residents in this building didn¡¯t sleep at this time and were happily chatting in the group. After the 1401 neighbor started this topic, someone began to complain about his upstairs neighbor practicing tap dancing at midnight. But the upstairs neighbor reluctantly spoke back that she didn¡¯t dance but got up to drink water. The screen was brushed extremely fast by a flood of message. Vasilia frowned. She @ the 1401 resident in the group and replied, ¡°Got it.¡± Vasilia moved into the apartment half a year ago. The community was high-end and the location was very good. The facilities and environment were also first-class. After earning enough money to cover the studio¡¯s investment, Vasilia bought the apartment without hesitation. Of course, her family helped her with some money. It was her first apartment and Vasilia was happy to live alone. Unexpectedly, the trouble of leaking occurred after living for less than half a year. Perhaps it was the problem related to the original fit-up of the apartment. Vasilia didn¡¯t care much about it last night. She had thought to knock on the man¡¯s door to make it clear this morning. However, she got up a bit late today. There was no response when she went downstairs to knock on the door. Vasilia could do nothing but left to work. After returning home, she was too tired to fall asleep when touching the soft bed. Not knowing how long she had been sleeping, when Vasilia opened her eyes, she noticed that her staff in the studio group were asking for red envelopes. Vasilia sent out several red envelopes dozily and took a shower. She didn¡¯t get a clear mind then and forgot about the trouble of water leaking. When she was half-finished, Vasilia regained her mind. She hurriedly turned off the shower and went out, wrapping herself in a bathrobe. Just before she guiltily checked if the 1401 neighbor had sent a message to the community group, her door was knocked on. The sound of knocking was unhurried, revealing the visitor¡¯s patience. Vasilia opened the door and looked outside. It was a man. He was wearing a white shirt and a black pantsuit, with a belt around his waist and a black Rolex watch on his wrist. His legs were long and slender. And his skin was fair, from which the blue veins could be vaguely seen. He stood at the door straightly. Maybe it was a little late at the moment, there was some fatigue on his face. He pushed his glasses with his slender fingers and said coldly, ¡°I¡¯m the resident downstairs.¡± Vasilia¡¯s first reaction was the girl wasn¡¯t exaggerating in the gossip earlier in the elevator. The 1401 neighbor was VERY handsome. Vasilia felt a bit hot on her face, not knowing if she just had a shower or for some other reason. She had the first meeting with the 1401 neighbor with her hair wrapped in a towel and with a plain face. Vasilia felt a bit embarrassed, but she still showed a gentle and elegant smile. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Asked Vasilia. Harvey Blunt looked at the girl in front of him. Her skin was white and tender as milk. The moment when she opened the door, out came the scent of Cape Jasmine bath lotion. She was wrapping a white bathrobe and dry hair towel. Her face was plain without makeup, but her eyes were so bright. It seemed that she was not a vexatious person. ¡°I told you about the water leaking last night,¡± said Harvey. Vasilia suddenly knew what he was up to and apologized, ¡°I¡­ was dozy and slept for a while, and accidentally forgot about this matter. Actually I tried to talk to you this morning, but no one was in your apartment¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± The man interrupted her redundancy lightly, ¡°But leaking does bring me trouble. It¡¯s better to deal with it timely.¡± Vasilia nodded hurriedly, ¡°I understand. Will you at home tomorrow? I¡¯ll handle it tomorrow.¡± CH 1.3 As she spoke, she returned to the living room to get her business card to the man, ¡°Here is my contact information. You can call me anytime.¡± She really didn¡¯t like chatting in the WeChat group, which was somewhat like a public execution. Harvey took a glance at the business card on his hand and said calmly, ¡°All right.¡± Seeing the man turning around, Vasilia hurriedly stopped him, ¡°Wait!¡± The man lowered his dark eyes to look at her, with his eyebrows slightly raised, ¡°Anything else?''¡± Vasilia pursed her lips and said seriously, ¡°Actually, when I¡¯m busy at work, I may miss your phone call. You can add my WeChat account.¡± Harvey: ¡°¡­¡± Vasilia was afraid of being misunderstood, ¡°I don¡¯t mean anything else, just for better communication.¡± Her lips outlined a friendly smile, ¡°Actually, I added you last night¡­ Didn¡¯t you see that?¡± Harvey: ¡°I saw it.¡± Vasilia¡¯s smile froze. Vasilia: ¡°? ¡± ¡°I¡¯m not used to adding unfamiliar people,¡± Harvey explained. Vasilia saw off Harvey with a smile but changed her face immediately as soon as she closed the door. God knew how embarrassed she was at that moment. Although this man was good-looking, he was too remorseless. He could somehow find an excuse instead of saying directly that he didn¡¯t want to add her in. Vasilia¡¯s pinky imagination to allure the man was immediately pierced and shattered. However, the throbbing of that moment was still in her heart. Vasilia couldn¡¯t help savoring it. Just then her phone vibrated. It was a message from her friend Kellsey. Kellsey: Do you play games tonight? Vasilia: I¡¯ve got no time. Feel sleepy. Kellsey: Oh, the handsome guy who played together last night asked me for your contact information. Vasilia: Did I tell you something? Kellsey: What? Su Yao: Just now my downstairs neighbor came to get me. Kellsey: For what? Vasilia: That¡¯s not the point. I mean, his face is superb. Kellsey: How handsome is he? Vasilia struggled with her words for a long time, and finally had to reply with ¡°VERY VERY HANDSOME.¡± She was always critical of appearance. This was already her highest valuation to a man. Although Vasilia had intended to communicate more with the 1401 neighbor, the work of her studio could not be delayed. The next day, Vasilia¡¯s mother Tess came to visit her. The phone from the studio called her again. Vasilia asked her mother to help her to handle the leak trouble, as she had to hurry to the studio. Tess nodded and brought her a box of milk. ¡°Remember to have your breakfast or it will be harmful to your health.¡± Vasilia hurried off. When she arrived at the studio, the couple who talked with her yesterday had already arrived. But their moods were obviously different today. Libby¡¯s eyes were slightly red, and she looked annoyed. Owen was still leisurely. As the boss of their wedding planning, Vasilia had to do her best and provided them with many plans that were suitable for a wedding ceremony half a month later. During her work, Vasilia received a message from her father, saying that there had been some problems with his travel agency opening recently. It was nothing but partners¡¯ dissatisfying with profits and wanting more percentage. Vasilia didn¡¯t know much about such things either. She casually asked Kellsey if she knew anyone in the legal profession. Kellsey: Legal profession? Vasilia: Yes, I can pay for the consultation. Kellsey: Wait a second. I know a senior schoolmate who was a top student in the Law Department of Acden University. Let me ask him. His name is Bob. Vasilia: Thanks. CH 1.4 After a while, Kellsey added Vasilia to a group chat. There were not many members in this group. It was obviously a classmates group and the members were closed in relations. The senior schoolmate Kellsey contacted was very enthusiastic in the group. He took special care of Kellsey, so Vasilia took advantage by the way. Bob: Everyone in our group is elite. You can ask any question or choose anyone. Kellsey: Do you have the most powerful one? The senior was talkative. Bob: It should be Ragin, the most talented student in the university, currently working as a senior legal adviser at RT Group, and a partner at Glory Fame Law Firm. He is definitely a prominent figure in the industry. Kellsey sent a sweaty emoji. Kellsey: Senior, are you introducing someone or your idol? Bob: Both. People in this group were probably busy with their work. Vasilia tentatively sent out her questions. It was long waiting for the coming minutes to Vasilia. She had thought that no one would answer her questions so quickly. However, Ragin appeared in the group chat. He answered Vasilia¡¯s questions logically and clearly within words. Rajin: Do you understand? Even if Vasilia was an amateur, she clearly understood when listening to his explanation. Before Vasilia could say ¡°thank you¡±¡­ Bob: Damn it! How come you have time to watch group chat bro? Ragin: Free. Bob: Last time I asked you to come out for a drink, why didn¡¯t you respond? Sure enough, Ragin stopped talking again. Vasilia planned to consult in advance. If things got worse later, she would consider the lawsuit. Seeing the impeccable professionalism of Ragin, Vasilia¡¯s fingers on the screen hesitated slightly. Later, She sent a friend request to Ragin. Having more friends would be convenient in life. It should not be inconvenient to add a friend. However, this friend application was not immediately approved. Vasilia thought of her neighbor Room 1401. Perhaps most people were not used to adding strangers. She felt a bit down in her heart. After knowing this, Kellsey was very open-minded, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say anything?¡± Vasilia: ¡°What should I say?¡± Kellsey: ¡°You should have seen Bob¡¯s words just now. Ragin is a senior lawyer whose consultation fee is very high. He has already given you advice for free. Is it a bit inappropriate for you to go on consulting without paying?¡± Vasilia felt it was reasonable. So, at the last second of her quitting the group, she sent a friend request to Ragin again, with a sentence ¡°£¤200 each time¡±. This sentence magically worked. It hadn¡¯t been five minutes, her friend request was approved by him. Vasilia was slightly stunned. It worked! When she was about to send a polite message, she noticed that the neighbor Room1401 approved her friend¡¯s application at the same time. Both dialog boxes appeared in front of her. ¡ª¡ª¡±Hello, we are now friends and can start chatting.¡± ¡­ What a wonderful coincidence. She was thinking and didn¡¯t notice a man coming into the elevator. Vasilia looked at her phone and hesitated. Which one she should send the message to first? The man also noticed. He took a glance at her, eyelashes long and thick. He pressed the elevator button with his slender finger gently. The air in the elevator was quiet. The narrow space of the elevator was filled with the expensive OUD aroma from the man. Vasilia made up her mind. She clicked on a dialog box and tentatively sent an emoji. As soon as she put down her phone, she saw the man in the elevator. She was stunned at the moment, then blinking her eyes slightly. ¡°Hi,¡± she greeted him. This man was wearing a black suit today, with the button on the collar of his shirt tied to the top. The contour of his chin was clear and sharp. His side face was exquisite and handsome, making people hard to move their eyes. The man took out his phone and casually slid his fingertips over the screen. CH 2.1 They stood a bit far away. Hearing her greeting, the man¡¯s finger paused. He turned to look at her. Vasilia took a step forward, ¡°My mother should have gone to solve the problem this morning.¡± ¡°Yes, ¡± he replied faintly. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯ve been busy these days. I can¡¯t deal with it myself,¡± said Vasilia. ¡°It¡¯s alright. Your mother has almost solved it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± The elevator went upward. Vasilia remembered that she had applied for adding him to WeChat. She asked, ¡°May I have your name?¡± ¡°Harvey Blunt,¡± he put away his phone when he replied. ¡°Vasilia.¡± The elevator door opened with a cling sound. It was on the 14th floor. Vasilia watched the man leave and secretly glanced at his slender legs. This man was excellent at wearing this custom-tailored shirt and pants. When Vasilia arrived home, her mother Tess was busy with dinner. Vasilia put down her bag and said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m back.¡± ¡°Why so late?¡± asked Tess. ¡°I am very busy with my studio, and there is something wrong with Dad¡¯s travel agency. I need to consult a friend for it.¡± Tess didn¡¯t know much about their work. She changed the topic, ¡°I went downstairs to meet your neighbor today and found the young man was quite handsome.¡± Vasilia nodded to agree. ¡°Didn¡¯t you get to know each other?¡± asked Tess. Vasilia laughed, ¡°Mom, how can you be like this? How can I talk about love with him just because he¡¯s handsome?¡± ¡°Of course you can,¡± Tess walked over with a smile, ¡°He seemed to have a good background. You shall be positive to contact him. If you can¡¯t be lovers, it¡¯s not bad to be friends.¡± ¡°How do you know he has a good background, Mom?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve met numerous people in my life. Although he is young, he is sensible and intelligent in speaking and handling things. I thought he would be angry before I met him, but he¡¯s kind to me. After I have the problem fixed, he doesn¡¯t ask for compensation. He seems busy with his work, but when I talk with him, he is very polite. In the words of your young people, he can be called ¡°Gao Fu Shuai¡±*(High in the figure, rich in wealth, and handsome in the face. ), right?¡± Vasilia chuckled. It seemed that her mother had been deeply impressed by the excellent figures of the 1401 man. Vasilia thought of the man¡¯s approval of her friend¡¯s application. There should be something wrong. ¡°What did you say to him?¡± asked Vasilia. ¡°What? Oh, I just said, would you like to add my daughter¡¯s WeChat? If anything is bothering you in the future, just let her know.¡± Vasilia thought for a moment, ¡°Didn¡¯t he refuse?¡± ¡°Nope.¡± Perhaps he agreed for the sake of the elders. No wonder he approved her application so abruptly. Thinking of this, Vasilia glanced at her phone again. She sent a message to Ragin in the elevator but hadn¡¯t sent it to the 1401 man yet. As they had a rough conversation in the elevator, Vasilia noted his true name on WeChat. Tess sat by Vasilia, ¡°Don¡¯t you feel lonely living here by yourself?¡± Vasilia supported her cheek with one hand and carefully looked at her mother. ¡°The next sentence should be urging me to find a boyfriend, right?¡± ¡°Bingo! I¡¯m quite satisfied with the neighbor downstairs. If he doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend, you can try positively. Aren¡¯t you young people bold in love affairs now? Come on.¡± ¡°What if he has a girlfriend?¡± asked Vasilia. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I still has many high-quality options for you. I¡¯ll ask your aunt to send you the photos later.¡± Tess hadn¡¯t been with her daughter for a while and kept talking. She had dinner with Vasilia. Before leaving, she said, ¡°By the way, you can send some fruits to the one downstairs¡­¡± She didn¡¯t remember his name. ¡°Harvey Blunt,¡± Vasilia reminded. ¡°That¡¯s right. He¡¯s so nice and doesn¡¯t fuss about the leaking trouble.¡± ¡°I know.¡° After Tess left, Vasilia breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed on the sofa. Her mother kept urging her to date men. It became more and more frequent. She even wanted to arrange blind dates for Vasilia. Vasilia¡¯s job was wedding scheming. Sometimes she could see couples loving and respecting each other. But there were also couples in a poor relationships that made her feel regret for love. So, her intention was not to force herself into an affair. When she met a man who could make her heart flutter, she would definitely get married. She had seen many couples holding wedding ceremonies under the pressure of their parents. But they didn¡¯t express much happiness at all. Suddenly. The sound of a WeChat message came from the quiet living room.
