I was counting down the time until school was over. When I heard the bell finally rang, my spirit went straight up.
Without a moment of delay, I shoved everything on my table into my backpack.
"Look at you," Xu Ting teased, "In such a hurry."
I only replied her with a grin. She gave Lian-ge a glance and asked, "Date?"
He chuckled. "No, just cotton candy."
I pouted and went forward to his side. "Is it not a date?"
He laughed. And with that I knew he was teasing me. I smiled at that realization.
"Well, have fun you two lovebirds."
Xu Ting went over me and she suddenly gave me a big tight hug. She was practically squeezing me.
"Oi, Xu Ting! You're going to break your bestie's bones. Don't you love me anymore?" I giggled.
"I love you."
I was stunned. Xu Ting had never said that words before. She found it disgusting to just openly expressed the word love. So, I was quite surprised when she said it. But nevertheless, I felt somehow happy.
