To Love You Again

They entered in the bowling game. After Linfeng gave the cold compress, he turned towards Xiong Zhi.

"What is young miss wants to buy? Maybe your friends was already done buying the ticket."

Xiong Zhi froze. What now? She should have distracted Linfeng by games and be a little closer more. But she ruined her chance and it would be awkward if she push to play more.

"I-I...." What am I going to buy?

She looked around. She had no idea what she should buy. Then her eyes spotted a loving couple not far away from them. Her eyes lit up.

'That's right! I want to buy it!'

In the past, she had many regrets that she could not done with Linfeng. She must get this chance no matter what. To make up for their lost time.

"Let's go to that store!" Xiong Zhi said and grab Linfeng.

When they entered inside the store, Linfeng was startled.

"Y-young miss Zhi...are you sure this is the right store?"

Linfeng looked around. There were matching t-shirts, matching bag, matching cups, matching toothbrush, matching shoes,  matching necklace and accessories, matching stuff toys, every items were for couples. No doubt, they entered a Couple store!

'What does young miss want in this store?'

Linfeng looked at Xiong Zhi who was so focus looking at the matching t-shirts.

"Does it need to be a set?" A girl ask the stuff. Linfeng looked at their exchange.

"Yes, miss. Every item is for two. You can not buy only one. "

Linfeng's brow furrowed. Then he looked at Xiong Zhi again. This time, Xiong Zhi was holding two t-shirts. She went to Linfeng and asked.

"Is it nice?" Xiong Zhi hold up the two T-shirt. The T-shirt on the left has half draw heart on it being carried by a girl, while the other shirt has a draw of a boy holding the half heart. The latter T-shirt was big than the other and clearly it was for boys.

Linfeng brows furrowed deeper and nodded silently. He could not help but think-

'For whom the other T-shirt for?'

"Then it settled. I like to buy it for a while. I'll change first. "

Xiong Zhi gave the other shirt to Linfeng to hold. Then she went to the dressing room to change. After two minutes, Xiong Zhi came out. She just put the shirt on top of her dress. Her thin coat was folded in her arms. With the cute print on the T-shirt, Xiong Zhi really look like a carefree teenager. A refreshing look.

Xiong Zhi went to Linfeng and held the other things in her hands.

"Your turn." She said while shoving the other shirt to Linfeng.

Linfeng was confused .

'What turn?'

"Go. Change, we have still to go somewhere." Xiong Zhi said. She was pushing Linfeng towards the dressing room. She was a bit afraid that Linfeng would reject.

"B-but this...is this not your present?" Linfeng asked. He was confused. Why did he have to change? And this shirt...is it for him? Not for somebody else?

"Yes it is. My present for you. For accompanying me." Xiong Zhi quickly found an excuse to make Linfeng wear it.

'Huh?'

"But it is for...couple..." Linfeng said the last word softly, almost a whisper.

Xiong Zhi did not answered him but shoved him to the dressing room and closed the door. Her voice sounded outside the dressing room.

"I will wait for you here!"

Linfeng just look in the T-shirt in his hands, he was eyeing the half heart that the boy was holding.

'Its not for someone else?  But...for me? Why?'

After a minute of thinking of possible and logical reasons excluding the romantic ones, Linfeng finally took of his shirt and change it.

When he came out of the room, Xiong Zhi eyes brightened looking at him. He was still wearing the blue polo short but he was now wearing the couple shirt with a drawing of half heart on it inside.

Xiong Zhi quickly came to him and lead him to the mirror. She even went nearer to Linfeng and adjust her shirt a little to match the other heart in Linfeng's shirt. When they looked at the reflection, a perfect heart was holding by the boy and the girl could be seen in their shirt. It was really a matching shirt.

Xiong Zhi was happy. She really wanted to do it. Now that she was reborn and came back to the past, she wanted to enjoy her teens with Linfeng, to do the things she had not done before.

While Xiong Zhi was happy, Linfeng on the other hand, had a bashful expression, but his brow was still furrowed. He admitted it. They look...cute. However, he was still debating that it was somehow wrong. This shirt, must only be worn by couples right? But he and Xiong Zhi were not a couple. He was really confused. But what confused him more was that he really...like it. Wearing a shirt together, a matching one at that, looking at their reflection, Linfeng could not help but have a dangerous thought. They looked like a lovely couple. He steal a glance at Xiong Zhi, he saw clearly how her eyes sparkled. Even her face was a fighting a smile. Seeing this, Linfeng could not help but smile also. Maybe her young miss wants to experience wearing matching shirts. He would let it pass for now. As long as his young miss was happy.

Xiong Zhi face Linfeng.

"Do you like it? Can you wear it for today? If your not comfortable it's OK." Xiong Zhi said. But she was wishing that Linfeng would agree to wear it for now.

Of course Linfeng could saw how her eyes showed anticipation and hope.

"Yes. I like it. I can wear it today."  And he did not want to ruined her good mood.

"Thank you." Xiong Zhi said giving a sincere smile.

And once again, Linfeng's heart skip a beat. Then he returned her smile.

After paying at the counter, Xiong Zhi exit the store still holding Linfeng's hand.

Then she turned towards him.

"Linfeng, I have something that I really wanted to do. Can you accompany me more?" Xiong Zhi asked softly.

Linfeng who did not want to break Xiong Zhi's good mood, nodded with a slight smile.

"Sure. Anywhere." He answered.

Xiong Zhi smile went wider. Then she lead him to a stall with a sign 'Sing Me'.
