Lu Lijun reached the place where his stay was arranged. Lu Lijun didn’t wish to stay with anyone such as his father’s friend’s family. He demanded to arrange a separate house for him where he didn’t have to come across many people. The place should be away from the city crowd and should have a nice view, where he could spend his time alone.
Lu Jinhai already owned one huge bungalow in London so it was not a big deal to arrange it in just a single day. The plan to keep him with his friend’s family changed to whatever he demanded.
When they reached the bungalow, one middle-aged British man in the black suit who was standing at the entrance of the bungalow bowed to them.
"Welcome, young master. Welcome, Mr. Xaio."
Though the man was British, he looked like he was familiar with Chinese culture and he knew how to treat Lu Lijun. He talked in English.
"Thanks, Jerome. I hope everything is fine here." Xiao Dong too talked to him in English as it looked like the man didn’t know Chinese.
Xiao Dong introduced the man to Lu Lijun, "He is Mr. Jerome, the in-charge of this place just like Xu Dui."
Lu Lijun nodded as he looked observed Jerome. A tall British man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a perfectly fitted black suit. Lu Lijun understood he was the butler and he had to be with him in this house from now on.
Jerome led their way inside the bungalow as Lu Lijun’s sight wandered around. The entrance has nice front Yard with laws and fountains in the middle while the path from the gate to the door of the bungalow was made up of randomly arranged marbles.
The architecture of the bungalow was totally different from Lu Mansion. It was a modern-day style two-story bungalow which was colored in white and instead of huge brick walls it mostly had blue glass walls which allowed the one to see the inner side of the bungalow while standing outside. The perfect combination of the white color with the blue color glasses made it look fresh.
They entered inside the bungalow and stopped in the living room as Jerome asked them to have a seat. The living room of the bungalow was huge and brightened up with the sunlight that was coming through huge blue-colored glasses.
Just then one middle-aged woman came out from the kitchen while pushing one small serving trolley which had the drinks placed at it.
She bowed to them too. "Welcome young master."
Unlike Jerome, the woman talked in Chines as she was from China as it was enough to guess it from her looks.
"How are you, Martha?" Xiao Dong asked.
"I am fine sir. I hope the journey was good," Martha replied as she offered them the glass of juice.
"Young Master, along with Jerome, Martha is the In-charge too. Let me tell you she cooks tasty food." Xiao Dong informed.
"You both must be tired. You should get freshen up. Let me show you the rooms," Jerome offered once they finished the juice.
"I can go to my room, you take care of a young master," Xiao Dong instructed as he looked at Lu Lijun, "Jerome will show you the room. Feel free to ask him anything." Xiao Dong informed.
Lu Lijun nodded and Jerome carried Lu Lijun’s bags and led his way towards the staircase which was at the one side of the living room and ended at the long corridor on the first floor.
While standing in the circular corridor moved along the first floor, one could see the entire living room and Lu Lijun was observing everything.
Jerome stopped in front of the first door in the corridor and opened the door. As they entered the room, Jerome informed, "This is the best room in this bungalow and I hope Young Master will like it."
Though Lu Lijun hardly talked English in China, he could understand it better as he studied it in the school. He was not fluent in talking but he was sure, he will overcome it soon.
"There is an intercom," informed Jerome as he signaled towards one black metal stand which had a phone with wireless receiver placed on it, "If you need anything, dial number one to call me and two to call Martha. Martha will come later and arrange the stuff form the bag."
Lu Lijun nodded and Jerome thought to leave and give some time to Lu Lijun to get familiarised with his room.
"I will take leave then." Bowing, Jerome left the room.
Lu Lijun looked around the room. The room had a theme of an ocean that was colored in white and light blue color. The white wooden bed attached to the wall with the mattress, pillow, and the quilt in light blue color.
Lu Lijun stepped towards the gallery which had glass sliding doors that allowed the cool breeze to flow in the room. It was a huge gallery with the steel railing of steel rod. Standing at the railing, Lu Lijun looked at the view outside and it was what he exactly wanted.
In front, there was a huge water bed of the river which shined like glass because of the bright sunlight. On either side, there was a row of small hills covered in green color. It was so calm and peaceful that for the moment Lu Lijun forgot the sadness he was feeling inside. It was the whole new world in front of him where he would live from that moment onward.
He could think of nothing but to cherish this heavenly view. In a while, Lu Lijun return to the room and opened his bag to get his clothes and went to have a bath.
When he came out and got ready, his sight fell on the sky blue color scarf hanging out from the corner of his bag which he opened a while ago to get his clothes.
Stepping towards the bag, he pulled out the scarf. Feeling it in his hands, he mumbled, "Yuyan!"
