There was a pause in the air, as if time was frozen as all movements seemed to cease. Seconds ticked by just like an eternity.
The girl holding the camera stiffly looked up at the tall boy with glasses in front of him.
...What did I just hear?
Did he just...
Then, as if a wrinkle in time was unraveled, all colors seemed to rush in.
Song Xuantin's eyes widened and she almost dropped the camera. At the same time, her face instantly reddened visibly. Her heartbeat sounded loudly in her ears.
Thumped. Thumped. Thumped.
"W-what...did you say?" Song Xuantin stuttered as her heart disorderedly raced inside her ribcage.
She looked at him with hopeful eyes filled with expectations, waiting for him to say those words again.
His words rang again inside her mind like a broken tape.
'I, Gu Zhen, likes Song Xuantin.'
'I, Gu Zhen, likes Song Xuantin.'
'I, Gu Zhen, likes Song Xuantin....'
a/n : Love is all around me, a song by Reg Presley covered by Wet Wet Wet, this was the number one love song for 15 weeks in 1994.
It's worth to spare your four minutes to listen and play it in your mind while Song Xuantin was having her little concert in the meadow after Gu Zhen's confession.
Lyrics
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
The love that's all around me
And so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend
I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I cannot get to thinking
Of all the things you said
You gave your promise to me and I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me in everything I do
Oh, yes I do
You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend
I got to keep it moving
Ooh, it's written in the wind
Oh everywhere I go, yeah, ooh yeah
So if you really love me, love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show, baby
Come on and let it show
PS. sigh, love is so great if you have the right partner.
