"Okay."
My voice was soft, but Lu Zixuan still heard me. He smiled brightly, his grin as warm as the sun on a winter's day.
"Xiaoli, say it again. I didn't hear you," he said playfully, leaning closer and winking at me. His warm breath brushed against my cheek, sending a tingling sensation through me.
My cheeks flushed deeper as I lightly punched his shoulder. "You brat, you clearly heard me!"
He grabbed my hand and held it tightly in his palm. "Xiaoli, I'm really so happy, you know? I've been waiting for this day for a long, long time."
My heart swelled with sweetness and joy. So it turned out we liked each other.
"Lu Zixuan, I... I have something to tell you too." I gathered my courage and looked at him. "Actually, I... I've liked you for a long time, since... since I was really little..." My voice trailed off until it was barely a whisper.
A glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes before he pulled me into a tight embrace. "Xiaoli, thank you. Thank you for not giving up on me, thank you... for liking me too..." His voice was choked with emotion, and I could feel the strong rhythm of his heartbeat against my chest.
I hugged him back tightly, relishing the warmth of his embrace, feeling that reassuring sense of security wash over me again.
"Lu Zixuan, that day on the rooftop with Lin Weiwei, why did you say 'you have someone you like'? You made me misunderstand for so long! Do you know how sad I was..." I lifted my head and pouted playfully, pretending to be angry, though my eyes were slightly red.
He gently tapped my nose. "Silly girl, I said that to get rid of Lin Weiwei! You know how popular she is. If I had rejected her directly, she would have been really upset. Plus, I was worried her suitors might come after me. I... I couldn't just say I liked you outright! At that time, I hadn't confessed to you yet and didn't know how you felt. I was afraid you wouldn't like me... afraid it would be awkward... even more afraid we wouldn't even be friends anymore..."
"So you just... used me?" I glared at him.
He quickly explained, "Not used! I just... I just wanted to find an excuse. I didn't expect it would make you misunderstand. And that day, I actually wanted to clarify everything, but Lin Weiwei's friend kept talking non-stop, and I didn't have a chance to speak... Later, I wanted to find you to explain, but when I saw you avoiding me, I... I thought you really misunderstood and were angry, so... I didn't dare to approach you..." His tone carried a hint of grievance and helplessness.
"Then why didn't you explain to me later?"
He sighed, "I... I thought you already knew that I liked you... so... so you were deliberately avoiding me... I... I didn't dare to ask you. I was afraid... afraid you would reject me... afraid of losing you..."
"Lu Zixuan," I looked at him seriously and said, "From now on, no matter what happens, we need to communicate well, okay? Let's not let misunderstandings hurt each other anymore."
He nodded, "Okay, I promise you. From now on, I'll tell you everything. I won't let you overthink things again."
We smiled at each other, the love in our eyes thick and unbreakable.
Under the cherry blossom tree, a gentle breeze brushed by, petals falling like a pink snow showering over us.
