170 ...this moment, I know I want to be with you (1/2)

”...do you know that I love you? ”

He did not realize he had said it until it left his mouth.

He had shown her, in different ways, his love, but he had never told her he did.

It did not feel like the perfect moment to confess but his emotions overtook his thoughts and it had slipped from his mouth. But since it had come to that, there was no need going back.

The eyes which stared at her were filled with intense emotions. He held her cheeks with both hands as he stared into her pitch black eyes, his heart racing.

Liling shuddered from his touch, she did not know what to say or how to reply. Her lips refused to move, she could only blush and redden till she was almost as red as a tomato.

”I love you Liling. I really do...;

Liu Wei caressed her chin, his eyes searched hers, trying to pry into her thoughts.

He did not know how to continue talking, but seeing that she was not running away, and she was not frowning either, he took it as a sign to go on.

”Liling, I am not telling you to accept me now, but I'm asking that you give me a chance to be with you, to prove it to you. I know I'm not the best out there, but... ”

Liu Wei's voice derailed. He could not bring himself to continue. He looked away from her and sighed sadly, biting his lower lip anxiously.

She had not said a word, she was still staring at him expressionlessly, he could not tell what she was thinking, so he was gradually losing hope.

He was not good at expressing himself, it was still shocking to him how he said so much.

Almost a minute passed, but Liling had not yet uttered a word. Liu Wei's hopes were almost dashed. He face fell and he gradually released his hands which were cupping her chin, when all of a sudden, Liling leapt and flung her arms around his neck, tightly.

Liu Wei was taken aback by her sudden action, she was hugging him so tight that he was almost suffocating but he did not want her to let go.

The woman in his arms laughed happily and hugged him tighter.

Liu Wei excitedly hugged her around her waists, pulling her closer to him. His heart beating faster than before. They stayed like that for almost five minutes, before Liling untangled her arms.
