Chapter 920 - My Favorite Love Song (2/2)
Even though Darren's singing voice wasn't as exceptional as Xiu's. He wasn't trying to be a good singer. He was just refreshing her memory.
”It was you...” she said out.
”Yeah! That dumbest one was indeed me,” replied Darren.
Xiu facepalmed herself, ”Baobei, that's not what I meant.”
”No, Sweets. That's exactly what you meant. I must be the only one in the world whose wife just called him dumb right after the wedding ceremony.”
Xiu shook his arm, ”Baobei, I mean it. I didn't know it was you. How did you know it just by looking at the jacket?”
Darren showed her the inside of the collar that had three letters sewn, 'R.D.S.'
”You know that I don't usually wear suits,” said Darren. Xiu nodded her head, she obviously knew that he didn't like wearing suits, giving off a stiff look. ”So, all my suits are actually gifted by my mother. And she always had my initials sewn on them for some bizarre reason.” He picked up the jacket that he took off earlier and added, ”Even the suit I was wearing have the same initials.”
”Oh my gosh! I can't believe we met there.”
”I also never noticed. Even though I heard you singing plenty of times after that, but it never clicked that the girl whose voice evoked so many emotions in my heart was actually you.”
”So you gave me the jacket because of the song I sang?” she questioned.
He nodded his head, ”Hmm... It reminded me of someone. And yes, I could have offered you a lift but I didn't want to come off as a kidnapper. And I really had no umbrella in the car. So, I could only offer what I had.”
Xiu smiled sheepishly at him. Suddenly thinking of something, she asked, ”Baobei, what were you doing at the cemetery?”
”One of my business partner's father died. It was his funeral that day and I was there to attend that. However, I was the last one to leave because... Funerals really take a toll on me. Emotionally. I couldn't extract myself from those emotions.”
”Oh...” Xiu nodded in understanding. ”It's weird. We have missed out on each other so many times.”
Darren hugged her waist and said, ”But we still ended up finding each other in the end.”
”Yes, we did,” agreed Xiu as she leaned into his embrace.
”How about you sing that song to me again?” said Darren. ”My voice is clearly really bad. But I'd love to hear you sing it again.”
”Nah!” refused Xiu.
”Why?” questioned Darren.
Xiu looked up at him and grinned, ”I told you, I'm happy today. I don't wanna sing another sad song in my life. If anything, I'll only sing you a happy song.”
”Okay. Sing me the happy song then.”
”I haven't written it yet,” replied Xiu. ”But don't worry, I'll write it now. From now on, Xiu will only write happy songs. There is no place for the sad songs in my life.”
”I'll be waiting for you to write it,” said Darren. ”I'd love to hear you sing it to me.” He lowered his voice and added, ”Or maybe you can write a love song. Just for me.”
”Ohh... I like that idea. Maybe I should write one.”
”You should!” urged Darren.
Xiu stood on her tippy toes and kissed him on the lips saying, ”Baobei, you're my love song. My favorite love song.”
Darren chuckled at her and pressed his lips against her forehead, ”And my Sweets is my life's sweetest melody.”
