Features: Twenty years of love, not a dream. Yet year after year, we miss each other like a unseen fate's giant hand plays with love. Who knows, am I a poisonous poppy or a clematis? On Valentine's Day, I've prepared afternoon tea for you. It's your favorite Biluochun, with distinct buds and leaves, lustrous like jade, dancing gracefully in the steam. Every stem and leaf whispers loneliness and longing. The rose cookies and poria cakes are also placed in crystal trays. The desserts are pomegranate punch and papaya boat, with a delicate incense burner filled with aloeswood shavings on the table. But why haven't you come yet? Through so many years, through so many rainy and sunny Valentine's Days, my only wish is to guard a cup of tea and a burner of incense, spending an afternoon with you. Yet where is my love?
