Emma and Haoran sat on the deck while enjoying sparkling wine and chatting in low voices. The atmosphere felt so peaceful when they were in the middle of the ocean like this without anyone around them. Only the sound of waves and seabirds flying above them could be heard.
Slowly, the sun set on the horizon. The sky began to change colors and was now adorned with tinges of purple and orange. It looked like a painter generously stroke his brush on a canvas with different colors. It was so beautiful.
"The sun has set," said Haoran happily. He pointed westward. "Now, I want to celebrate my birthday."
His voice sounded like an overly-excited child. Emma looked at the young man with an amused face. It's hard to believe this 19-year-old who had always acted mature and calculating, could behave like a child.
Okay.. so Emma prepared several gifts for Haoran's birthday and one reader, Anonymous_II managed to get the cookies, so I'm publishing two chapters today. Yeayyy!!!
Also, thank you for the others who chipped in ideas. All were nice and I might use them for other parts of the book :).
...
This is the first one and the second chapter will be published later today. We'll find out later, what other gifts Emma will give him. You are still welcome to make more guesses.. hehehe.
...
No extra bonus chapter though because I cannot promise two chapters tomorrow. I still have trouble sleeping and have to write for my other novel, "The Alchemists".
...
Hey.. if you liked "Finding Stardust" and haven't read my other books, you can also try reading the other ones.
...
Aside from "The Alchemists" (a slice-of-life story about the immortals in the modern world), I also have another book with two short stories (2 and 4 chapters respectively) in a book titled "The Donor (And Other Stories)". I will add more short stories to it when I have more time. Go check that out too :).
