Tony and Adaeze, a Fleeting Romance (Part 1)


How come Tony and Adaeze Min started to go out together? comenzaron a salir juntos? Here's the explanation...


It turns out Tony was making quests for some Shang Simla families, like Abi Yat Sen's and Lee Yao's.


Easy quests that Tony was able to perform without difficulty during his days of retreat. None of them represented any risk or complication.


But a problem emerged after completing a mission for Lin Hua, Zhang Hua's wife. Zhang was the bookstore owner and a long-time friend of Tony's.


At the beginning, everything was normal, Tony completed the mission and the matter did not go any further.


But the day after, while Tony was at the relic store, Lin Huaarrived, approached him and expressed his gratitude for having helped her with her quest.

 
Then, out of the blue, she pulled out a flower bouquet, gave it to him and invited him to visit her at her house. Tony didn't know what to say, he was a bit nervous cause Li Yuan, the relic store owner was listening to them. But even with that, he accepted the invitation, thinking that his friend, Zhang Hua, would be present during his visit.


But, surprise! Zhang wasn't there that night cause he was attending the bookstore. Lin was alone and invited him to watch the stars. Tony didn't dare to decline, he stayed a while with her, they talked a bit, then he said goodbye and went home.


The next day, the rumors started (thanks to Li Yuan for sure). They said that Lin Hua had been unfaithful to the love of her life, and these rumors spread quickly throughout the town..


Tony didn't know anything until the Shang Simla villagers started to behave strange with him.


Tony investigated around and that way he found out what had happened. What worried him the most was that Zhang Hua would hear about it and think that he had betrayed their friendship. So he went to see him and explained everything to him.


To his luck, Zhang believed him. What would happen between Zhang and Lin after all this wasn't his business anymore, so he didn't investigate further. He said goodbye to Zhang, making sure they were good, and forgot about the matter.


The real problem for Tony was when Adaeze Min found out about the whole mess and came to see him to complain about it. Tony explained to her that it was all a misunderstanding and that everything had been clarified now.
"I'm not so sure it has been all a misunderstanding":
"Are you by chance jealous?", Tony teased her.
"Maybe I am".
"If so, why don't you accept to go on a date with me?"
To Tony's surprise, this time Adaeze accepted.
"Okay, when and where will we see each other?"
"Tomorrow afternoon, here, at the Thyme House".


Adaeze left, promising to come back the next afternoon. Tony was left as if floating in the clouds.
"Wow, I can't believe it, thank you Lin Hua."
