_______________________________
Lively chatters, smiles and laughter were all around creating a lovely, and joyous atmosphere.
In the distance, a lovely couple passed by the groups of teenagers who were joking to themselves. When the couple passed the group's laughter died and their eyes followed the two figures.
One of them even exclaimed.
”What a couple! They're so cute!”
A couple sitting in the chair were making out when the girl caught the sight of another couple in the distance. She stopped moving and the boy noticed. Following the sight of his girlfriend, he also stopped kissing his girlfriend. They waited in silence until the two passed them. The girl still look in the cute couple and she muttered.
”I like their shirts...”
Whenever this couple passed by they left the passerby bewildered and love-struck. Well no one could blame them. The young man of course noticed that they stand out to much. He tried to close one button of his polo shirt to cover the t shirt he was wearing inside but glancing at the girl next to him, noting her bright eyes, he stopped. And just ignored their looks. If the girl beside him did not care why should him?
When people look at the couple, when girls look at the man they envied the girl instantly, however when they looked at his partner, their complains were easily swallowed up. If the girl could not match the handsome youth then who would?! It was the same for the boys, seeing the lovely girl in a matching shirt, they knew instantly she was taken by the man beside her. However, they could not find any flaw to the man. Swallowing the pride they accepted that the couple was unmatchable. They were both beautiful so they could only admired them from afar.
Xiong Zhi was in a happy mood. Still holding Linfeng's hand she went to the nearby building.
Inside the building were different stalls for games and different shops. In the center was a big space with a floor mat - as a stage, big T.V screen, two big speakers , a microphone, and the token machine. There's a banner at the side : Sing Me
Xiong Zhi bought a lot of tokens and then lead Linfeng on the center.
She handed all her things to Linfeng and went to the token machine and put two tokens in it. Two tokens= 1 song.
This move of course was their Step 4: Amaze him with your talent; Sing him a song. She discussed with Song Xuantin what song they should sing. They chose a song for their own. A perfect song that would portray their hidden feelings.They even practiced a lot before they parted that day.
Now , Xiong Zhi would perform her best to her beloved. Let's see if he would not fall in love with her angelic voice.
Xiong Zhi get the microphone and step in the floor mat. The four speakers were really loud. Just the introduction of the song got many people to look at them subconsciously.
Linfeng raised his brow. He did not expect that his young miss would lead him here for herself to sing. His young miss was always cold and isolated which he thought she enjoyed since she like peace. Singing in public was not her mantra. He looked at Xiong Zhi who was readying herself to the first lyrics . The young girl was facing him instead of looking at the screen. He clearly saw how her eyes glinted with determination, telling him she was not backing out. How she raised her chin, and straighten herself like she was representing an important project to the wealthiest businessman of each country. The girl looked serious that made Linfeng straightened up and waited. Waiting for what he did not know. Putting the microphone near her lips she began to sing.
”I like your eyes. You look away
when you pretend not to care
”I like the dimples on the corners
of the smile that you wear
”I like you more the world may know
but don't be scared
” 'Cause I'm falling deeper, baby
be prepared ”
Xiong Zhi sang the first stanza with cold, hard tone at first, a contrast to the lively and soft song. She looked intently to Linfeng and sang those words. The last line though Xiong Zhi's eyes squinted a little and curved her mouth slightly. She looked like she was smirking but to Linfeng it looked like she was preparing for war.
This made his heart skip a beat. Like he must be prepared of something. What he need to be prepared for?
”I like your shirt I like your fingers
Love the way that you smell ”
She tilted her head slightly while looking intently at him.
”To be your favorite jacket just so
I could always be near
”I've loved you for so long
Sometimes It's hard to bear
but after all this time,
I hope you wait and see ”
Xiong Zhi raised her voice a little to match the song, her voice shake a little for emotions that was coming out from her. Oh! how hard it was to bear her feelings inside for Linfeng! She raised her slender fingers to point at Linfeng at the last line.
”Love you every minute, every second”
She swayed her body a little, matching the beat of the song.
