_______________________________

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.

"Love you everywhere, and any moment

Always and forever I know,

I can't quit you 'cause

"Baby you're the one

I don't know how I love you 'til the last

of snow disappears

I love you 'til a rainy day becomes clear

"Never knew a love like this,

Now I can't let go

I'm in love with you,

And now you know "

She sang with emotions raging in her . but she still manage to restrain them by shaking her voice a little. Now few people were attracted by the song and when they looked at the beautiful girl in the center wearing a matching shirt, they became eager to watch more.

"I like the way you try so hard

When you play ball with your friends

I like the way you hit the notes

in every song you're shining

"I love the little things,

Like when you're unaware

I catch you steal a glance

And smile so perfectly "

The beat of the song was very lively, a song about a girl who was in so in love with a boy. A typical romance. This song really match what Xiong Zhi's feeling inside .

This time, Xiong Zhi was reminiscing her past and present with Linfeng. How she came to like him. How she noticed every twitched of his brow, how she was aware of his every move. How heart skip a beat and run faster by just a slight curve of his lips. How happy she became with a simple greet from him.

Singing every words Xiong Zhi could not help but smile. In her mind, she was reminiscing? the past when Linfeng tried to lighten up the mood and made attempt to make her laugh. He even act foolish in front of her. That time, her grandfather had died, her inheritance was gone, it was a bad time. But due to her ignorance she did not care that much, unlike Linfeng who thought she was dejected by series of unfortunates.? She knows what Linfeng wanted to do. But in the end, she did not humor him. She smiled though, when he went away, ashamed.

Still with sweet smile on her lips. Her voice become soft and became a little lively after she calmed down her emotions. She even tap her foot with every beat of the song.

"Though sometimes when life brings me down

You're the cure, my love

In a bad rainy day, you take all

the worries away"

Her voice toned downed a little, her hands clutching her chest. In her past life, she had many incomings, and many things were taken away from her even her freedom, but amidst of it, Linfeng was her breather.

'Linfeng I...'

"Love you every minute, every second

Love you everywhere, and any moment

Always and forever I know,

I can't quit you 'cause-"

Xiong Zhi reached her hand out towards Linfeng. Like she was proclaiming to the world that the man in front of her was hers, her own world.

"Baby you're the one

I don't know how

In a world devoid of life you bring color

In your eyes, I see the light, my future"

'Linfeng, you are my light. This second lifetime, this second chance that was given to me was to make it up for all the love you gave me...'
