12. the same bridge~

Well, it was the Christmas morning, many had gone to the nearby Churchs anyway, ChunHua tried many places, but they were all preparing for the night parties and weren't open, after roaming around all big and small bars and clubs around the city, two hours had passed by and the sun was up, ChunHua's face was getting darker by each on of the refusals she got and felt that the Sun was particularly ugly right now, she kept complaining as she sped here and there, "You ugly Sun of a ---- What are you grinning at me for? Eh? Is it fun to laugh at others' misfortune... grrrrrrr"

YuTang was the only person inside and has been listening to her mumbling incoherent things from time to time with some cussing in-between.

It was the first time in his life that he saw such an expressive person, she was like an open book with her heart in her hand, she was the type of person, you just couldn't hate even if she was a bit temperamental, after all, in this world where everyone is keeping a facade to face others, it was truly rare for someone to be this expressive... so, he had a good feeling about her.

As for ChunHua herself, she was enjoying her first car date with her little Bun~

As for the anger in her face, it was genuine, she was an indoor person and hated going out, she defined herself as a 'closet TangTang Pervert-cum-otaku~'

So, for a fact she didn't like going out a lot and even if she did, she did it in the dead of the night... she felt like the Sun was too pure and bright for her dark world plus, there was also the number of refusals she got in a single day---

Okay, that's a lie.

YuTang didn't get out of the car so, she was just posing as someone who was asking for the time they open their business and such, she was being a bit manipulative here, but she just wanted to spend some time with him, now that, he was single again and she could love him with everything she had without feeling the least bit guilty of coming in a relationship, finally, she could be with him again.

After making a round around half the city, she finally lowered the speed and got back to the point where they started, it was still that bridge, but a bit brighter because of the sun.

YuTang saw this place again and couldn't believe how much has changed in these few hours, he was standing here, almost about to give up on his life, but then a miracle happened and this girl appeared before him, she wasn't like any other and was a bit pushy too, but spending these hours with him was probably the best decision he made in his life....

Seeing her being a bit willful at times and serious at others, getting angry at something for no cause and giggling at her conduct later, she was like a bright bright star, the Polaris of an abandoned man lost in the road, watching her this close, he thought to enjoy his life as well and let bygones be bygones, thinking about the past and giving them more importance than the present itself was really not good and she was a living epitome of that, she was just living for the present.

He who had been pretty silent except for giving her some 'it's okay' from time to time when she was about to let loose, finally laughed out loud, he hadn't laughed this hard in years, maybe he thought he didn't deserve it or maybe, it was just because he was too busy moving forward, but he laughed till his stomach hurt and he had tears in his eyes.

This bridge was not busy and even if cars passed by them from time to time, nobody cared about them, nor did the two inside cared about they were looked at.

ChunHua saw him laugh like that and was infected by that bright smile, she had always loved this smile of him after all... she got out of the car and walked to the same place he stood some hours ago, holding it, she shouted, " I'LL GET THE BEST MAN IN THIS WORLD FOR MYSELF!!!! LI YICHEN, YOU CHAUVANISTIC PIG, YOU DON'T DESERVE LAOZI* hehehehehehehe"

Except them there was no one except the wind and her loud voice lightly echoed around, she turned towards the man who was shocked still by her wild idea and gave her a dazzling grin, "Partner, the world is yours~ Come out and enjoy this moment!!", the cold breeze that couldn't defy her inner heat, the sun rays obstructed by the clouds giving her a silverish halo, her grin that could make you smile involuntarily, her heart, her soul, the power inside her, her everything made her glow, made her shine brighter, brighter than the sun itself.

YuTang who always had a gentle persona and was very soft spoken, left the life he had lived for the past 23 years back for this one moment and chose to let loose.

The first step he took, took him a few moments, but only taking that first step was hard, if you crossed it, a world of possibilities opened up, just that first step and half the work was done, his steps were slow then they became faster until he started running and reached the place beside her before shouting at the world, "I'LL LIVE MY LIFE FOR MYSELF. WHO CARES ABOUT YOU WHO SUPPRESSES ME, WHO CARES IF YOU BETRAY ME. I AM NOT WEAK! I'LL STAND TALL AND MAKE YOU REALIZE THAT I'M YOUR GREATEST REGRET!!! ", he shouted with all his might!

Yes, he will make them regret their choices. Who cares about them?

This was his own life and he only has this one chance to live it... He didn't want to regret it.

When he becomes old, he wanted to look back and laugh as he said, "I lived my lie to the fullest!!!"

He was so high on this feeling that he missed the doting smile ChunHua had at this moment, those eyes when they looked at him, couldn't control the deep emotions in them, they couldn't control the love she had for them.

[I'll get the best man in the world for myself], she had shouted and that man was him, her little bun, the brightest star in her lonely night sky~
