501 Somewhere In Your Hear (2/2)

”What?”

”Why are you being so serious about it?” Ying tried to laugh it off playfully but she couldn't deny that his words hit a spot she even didn't know existed.

”Did I say anything wrong though? You have no guarantee of your next breath, so why are you wasting it in thinking?” He took a pause as he continued, ”Don't try to joke about it as I did. Because by the time I understood the meaning of her words, she was long gone.” His hands clenched instinctively as he closed his eyes.

That was something his Sister Xiu had said to him when he met her for the last time. If he knew that was the last time he was gonna see her smiling, he would have done anything to stop her. But she ended up teaching him one thing for certain, life was too short to mull over past or future. If the present was all he had, why was he not shaping that present how his heart desired?

”It's not that I want to force you or anything,” he began again. ”I'm not even trying to be a nuisance even if I say I am. It's just that I'm listening to my heart. It's not my fault that my heart wants to keep following you.”

”You know nothing about me,” said Ying with a heavy tone.

He smiled at her, ”Indeed. I don't know much but... Who said love had such prerequisites? You know, the heart doesn't believe in thinking as our mind does. Heart believes in giving us signals.”

”Signals?” she repeated with knitted brows.

He took her hand in his own and brought it to his own chest. She tried to take it back but he didn't let her. It was undeniable that his muscle strength wasn't just an exaggeration. He could really put up a fight with her. And Ying might have gotten into a fight if she wasn't startled.

The moment her hand laid flat on his chest, she could feel it...

Thump! Thump!

Her eyes lifted to his face as he said, ”Do you see what you do to me?”

”I'm the reason your heart is beating so fast?” she asked in amusement and seeing him nod, she ended up laughing at his face.

Seeing her laughing, he was starstruck and his heartbeat fastened even more. Ying's smile vanished since her hand was still over his heart, she could feel it all too well. She pulled her hand back and avoided his eyes.

While him being his usual self, he clutched his chest and said, ”Don't attack me with that smile so suddenly. At least, give me a warning.”

Ying rolled her eyes at his reaction and pushed him. She almost pushed him off the car's roof but held his collar to push him back saying, ”Don't play around or I'll stuff you somewhere no one will ever find you.”

”If that somewhere is your heart, I don't mind being stuffed.”

”You!”

”Hahahaha!”
