Ye Qiao began to regret her impetuosity. With a smile, she kept her composure in the face of doubt and added, “A girl from my class asked Lu Beichi for your number. That’s how I found out about it.” She made up an excuse on the spot.
“Did you note it down subconsciously or consciously?” He was thrilled at the possibility that she took his number to heart.
Ye Qiao took a few big steps backward and shyly remarked, “Try to guess.”
Guess? The man took a mont to ponder the possibilities before answering.
“Xiao, stay where you are. Now, turn around!” Ye Qiao excitedly instructed him.
Lu Beixiao frowned, wondering what the girl was trying to do.
“Turn around, please?” Ye Qiao asked earnestly, to the point where Lu Beixiao could not refuse. She already softened his heart. Not knowing what was ahead, he turned around as told.
It was a midsumr night full of tranquility. The sound of a blaring television was the only background noise that could be heard. The air humd with a murmur from the famous 1986 series of Journey To The West, with a catchphrase from Sun Wukong that went, “Monstrous creature, where do you think you’re going?”
The sky was a stunning palette of midnight blue, brimming with twinkling white dots that ford the milky way. Next to it was the brightest star of the northern constellation – Vega. Such were the great tis of the 80s. No air pollution hindered the magnificent view of the starlit sky.
She stared at the man who was rely a few steps away. At this very mont, she was irrevocably attracted to him. Events of their past started to fill her head. Overwheld with a pensive mood, she leaped towards the man in front of her.
Lu Beixiao thought that she had already left, so he certainly did not expect the hug. Ye Qiao squeezed her arms tightly around his waist and leaned her soft body against his back. He was caught off guard and stood in amazent.
She put her face against his back and hugged him close. The hug was enough for her to relieve herself of her past regrets.
This ti, it was not a cold tombstone that she was holding onto, like the incident just before she died. His warm body was a great reminder that he was really alive.
Lu Beixiao, you stay well and alive, this ti! It will not be difficult as I will not do anything to trouble you. The only thing that I’m going to do is to love you and stay by your side, unconditionally.
Those were the promises that she made to herself in her heart.
“You’ve only known for a day, and yet you’re already throwing yourself at ,” Lu Beixiao teased, while gladly accepting his undeserved gain.
“You’ve only known for a day, and yet you’ve already stolen my first kiss. I need to get myself a hug in return, at least.” She suppressed the overwhelming sadness in her heart and casually teased him.
He quickly turned around to face her, and Ye Qiao unwillingly let go of him. She took a step back, only to see his silly grin. “You should’ve kissed back instead.”
A hug was never enough for the man. Nevertheless, Ye Qiao found that to be wishful thinking at this stage!
“That’s reserved for your next hocoming.”
“I will rember what you said today. You’d better kiss back the next ti we see each other!” He flashed her a threatening look her way.
“Sure! I’ll be sure to get what I deserve!” She expressed herself boldly before running off into her house. At the gate, she stopped and looked back. “Xiao! I will definitely page you! Good night!” She spoke just loud enough for him to hear her as she did not wish to startle both their grandparents.
“Be a good girl!” Lu Beixiao answered back loudly. The volu alone was startling!
“Xiao, who are you talking to?”
“Seems like he’s talking to a girl.”
Ye Qiao heard the chatter from Mr. and Mrs. Lu next door, prompting her to leap into her house in embarrassnt.
“Xiao Xiao, who were you talking to?” Grandma Lu asked him as soon as he stepped through the gate. She was thrilled to hear that he was talking to a girl! It seed that her eldest grandson was finally dating soone.
In the garden, Grandpa Lu spent his entire evening lying in his lazy chair with a paper fan in his hand. Slices of waterlon were served on the table next to him. Although he seed totally unconcerned by what was happening, that was not true. He heard everything that was going on right outside his house.
“Your future granddaughter-in-law!” Lu Beixiao was unashad to let his grandparents know about his date.
“Huh? Where is she now? Why didn’t you invite her to the house? Why didn’t you walk her ho? How could you let a girl go ho alone? That’s unbelievable!” Grandma Lu questioned him intensively.
