"Like what you see? "

His deep voice broke the silence of the room.

Lu Yang looked at her. Her lips were parting in an awe, loose strands of her hair were flying in the air. He felt a bang inside his heart.

Sensing his gaze Lina got flustered. She was in daze until then, blessing herself to be lucky enough to get too close to her idol twice that day.

" Huh...?"

' Like what you see? ' His husky voice was still lingering in her head. Her chicks turned a shade redder immediately realizing the meaning.

Lina adjusted her specs.

"Uh... actually… It's my usual place. Don't mind… Carry on... I'll sit Somewhere else." She lowered down her head in embarrassment and turned back to leave. "Sorry for disturbing you."

Lu Yang was simply enjoying her every action It's rare for her to express any emotions. She usually carried a stony expression in college unlike outside. Sometimes he thought, they both can't be the same person at all.

" Oh! I didn't know that. Just thought the view was great. Never mind but you can sit here. I won't mind at all."

"It's okay tongxue (同学 = classmate). I prefer studying alone. My presence might be disturbing to you. Thank you for offering though. "

Lina politely declined his offer and sat on the next row placing her books on the table accordingly and connected the headphone with the mobile and start reading.

Lina was a huge music lover. Music was the only ray of light in her turbulent world. Only music could give relief to her by letting her forget about the rest of the world.

Lu Yang was unblinkingly watching her every move — the way she sat, took off her bag, kept her books, adjusted her specs, pulled back her hair, put on the headphone, and started studying without giving a damn to his stare.

He felt another loud bang in heart. "Those eyes..." he blurted out abruptly.

Yang was always curious about her sparkling eyes behind those glasses. It was so mysterious to him that he wished he could sink in those deep black orbs again and again.

The first time he saw her the lines from Shakespeare's sonnet immediately came to his mind ....

" My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sunne

Currall is farre more red, then her lip red… " 

To him those eyes were some priceless riddle that he wanted to solve.

Feeling the fluttering pleasure building inside his heart Yang decided to enjoy the view.

Lina was having a sip of water while she felt some burning gaze on herself. Following the gaze she found Lu Yang staring at her with utmost attention. Which made her cough almost chocking the water.

He hurriedly ran towards her.

"Are you all right? What happened? " He patted her back.

Composed herself Lina gestured him that she was ok and told him to remove his hand from her back.

She did not like to be touched.

"It's okay. Just chocked." she cleared her throat.

"Are you sure?" he asked. Concern was written all over his face.

" Yeah. 200 % " Lina smiled. "Thank you for the help. "

Lu Yang was still holding her wrist, blankly staring at her smiling face.

Clearing the throat again she indicated him to release her hand only then he let go of her wrist.

Lina was utterly shocked see many shades of his tendering nature.

'Was not he famous for being the cold guy who doesn't give a damn about a girl's feeling ?! Lu Yang was known to break hearts. He used to flatly decline whoever proposed him or expreed their affection towards him. '

'Argh!! Rumours are not to be believed these days. ' Lina warned herself.

Little did she know that Lu Yang only cared about a girl in the whole world beside his family. She was his one and only precious 'Ai'. How could he be aloof of her well-being ?
