Chapter 857: Melted Heart
Linfeng suddenly remembered something. At that time, the boy lifted his shirt to show his abs to his innocent young miss. Should he go back and gave that man a beating?
But Xiong Zhi doesn't even remember that, she was focused on reminiscing an unforgettable memory.
"That time, you rash back and forth just to solve the trouble I caused. You kept asking me if I am tired. I am sure at that time you still don't like me, but your concern still makes me happy." Xiong Zhi said with a smile on her face.
They were so young back then. The adorable young Linfeng wanted to keep his distance from her but he was so gentle and responsible that he end up taking care of her sincerely instead.
"Who said I don't like you at that time? If you know how conflicted I was..."
Xiong Zhi was interested in this. "You like me back then?"
"...It's hard not to you like back. I have tried to stop my feelings, but you are so adorable that I could not help but be caught."
Xiong Zhi giggled. She was so glad that she pushed that operation to seduce Linfeng. See, she was harvesting her hard work for the rest of her life!
They passed by many familiar stalls. They visit the store that sells couple items. Xiong Zhi was so surprised to find out that this place was similar to the one they visit back then.
Linfeng just smiled.
When they stopped at another booth, Xiong Zhi was dazed.
Because the next booth has karaoke and has one song currently displayed.
"This..."
Linfeng took the first step to the karaoke booth and took the mic.
While Xiong Zhi was dazed, the instrument started to play.
Linfeng coughed a little and started singing with a slight tremble in his voice.
"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."
His voice was a bit hoarse due to nervousness. His manly deep voice doesn't go well with the song at all, however, it has a unique charm that could make one's heart skip a beat.
Xiong Zhi felt her heart was melted. The warmth in her heart reached her eyes, making them a bit red.
Now she knows why the first booth was the familiar shooting store with the familiar toys displayed. Why the bowling booth and the couple store was there...Why the familiar stalls they passed invoked wonderful flashbacks.
It was because those were the places where they shared precious memories together. That's the place the young Linfeng enjoyed his heart to the fullest, and where the young Xiong Zhi was the happiest and hopeful towards their future.
And this song...Was the song she sang with all her heart.
And now her man was singing it for her. With all his heart.
"Love you every minute, every second
Love you everywhere and any moment,
Always and forever I know I can't quit you
'Cause, baby, you're the one..."
Linfeng's voice sounded throughout the whole island. Although sometimes the note was a bit off, his sincere tone and his overwhelming message of love could be felt from the lines he was singing. It drifted along the wind, caressing the woman in front of him, the subject of his love.
The warmth and tenderness in his eyes were blazing more than the sun. It tickles her heart and brought happy tears to Xiong Zhi's eyes.
She was so happy...she was so moved...that she wanted to cry.
"I love you 'til the last of snow disappears
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."
Linfeng took a step toward her while singing the last two lines with a firm promise and unconditional love. He kissed the corner of her eyes, drying her tears. The mic was still on.
"I love you Xiong Zhi...Thank you for singing this song to me."
Xiong Zhi smiled, laughed, and cried at the same time. She embraced the man's neck and kissed him passionately. Letting him know how moved she was and how lovable this man on her eyes.
Linfeng turned off the mic and kissed her back.
The song was still playing. The guide melody was singing in the background.
'....Never knew a love like this...Now I can't let go...I'm in love with you....And now you know...'
Xiong Zhi's tears fall as she kissed him.
It took her two lifetimes to express this intense and devoted love.
In their first life, although their unconditional love exists, they weren't able to confess to one another much less give replies.
Linfeng might not remember, but Xiong Zhi remembers clearly in her empty and bleak world, how he arrived carrying that little lamp called love.
In that freezing world with no meaning, his existence was akin to salvation.
The warmth of his smiles, his laughter, and his gentle and caring hands, melted her frozen heart.
His comforting words, his firm promises, and his unyielding love gives meaning to her world.
He was patient as he teach her little by little how wonderful emotions and feelings were. How good it was to be loved, to be taken care of, to be the subject of his care and protection.
She was cured by his fervent and warm love.
He gave her everything. She also wanted to do the same.
In this lifetime, she promised to love him like how he loved her. Perhaps much more than that...
But how could she reply to this?
Her sweet and lovable Linfeng once again melted her heart.
How could someone be so precious?
Xiong Zhi expressed all her thoughts and feelings that could not be put into words through this passionate and long kiss.
Wishing that this lovable man in front of her would feel this overwhelming love she had for him.
