Ying Xuan signed with a dazed expression, 'What did you say?'
Wei Jingyu said in an uncertain voice, "I love you."
Ying Xuan's eyes opened wide again as Wei Jingyu began, "Look I'm not asking..."
But Ying Xuan put up a hand to silence him and sat down on the ground with her head in her hands. Wei Jingyu also sat down in front of her and looked at Xuan as she lifted her head and was about to sign something when Wei Jingyu said, "All I'm asking is for a chance here."
There was such a begging tone in his voice that Ying Xuan was dumbstruck for a moment. She had heard all about Wei Jingyu by now and knew that he was an incredibly proud person who would never ask anything of anyone, let alone beg.
She looked at his face which did not seem to be certain for the first time since she had known him. Her dark brown eyes met his light brown ones, the eyes that had attracted her so much when they had met for the first time on the airport.
As Wei Jingyu's eyes roamed over Xuan's beautiful face and met her dark brown eyes, he did not know what came over him as he leaned forward. But Ying Xuan brought her hands to his chest to stop him from coming any closer. Wei Jingyu snapped back. He realised what he was about to do and stood up before saying, "I'm sorry. I don't know what took over me."
Ying Xuan nodded and signed, 'Look, you know me. You must know that I can never date a person as arrogant or with so much anger as you. I'm afraid we both will be too much to handle for each other.'
Wei Jingyu: "I am willing to change."
Ying Xuan shook her head, 'We're worlds apart.'
Wei Jingyu sighed, "Okay. For now your answer is no. You said that I'm arrogant. But I'll have you know that I'm determined and a little too stubborn too. Come on now, I'm not giving up that easy."
Ying Xuan stood up without taking the hand he had offered and dusted her shorts. She then began to walk away.
Wei Jingyu caught up with her and said, "Hey, so now that I'm going to 'court you' at least tell me how."
Ying Xuan did not like how he used the air quotes. She signed, 'I never asked you to court me.'
Wei Jingyu: "Oh my, someone's snappy. Okay fine, sorry. Feels like that's all I keep saying to you."
Ying Xuan chuckled. Wei Jingyu saw that he had improved Xuan's mood and asked again, "So, will you tell me how to win your heart?"
Ying Xuan sighed and shook her head. She signed, 'If you're really willing to change, start by coming with me and apologizing to We Long.'
Wei Jingyu: "Who's We Long?"
Ying Xuan gave him a death glare and he said, "I would like to quote me, I'm sorry. Anything else?"
Ying Xuan: 'And then try to manage your anger and start talking more politely.'
Wei Jingyu ticked the air, "Anger management, and polite. Got it."
