'The heart wants what it wants.' she signed, before continuing, 'Anyway, where do you think is everyone?' She grabbed Jingyu's arm upon seeing that he wasn't listening to her and now he was the one who was lost in thoughts.
Xuan raised her eyebrows once Wei Jingyu came out of his thoughts, looking towards her with a mischievous smile. "Come on." he said, before grabbing her hand and leading her towards the exit gate of the hall.
Ying Xuan was very confused as she half ran, was half dragged out of the hall by Jingyu. Where on earth was he taking her? Xuan wondered to herself. Her eyes widened as a thought popped in her head, but she quickly pushed it out. There was no way. There was absolutely no way Jingyu was going to get her ice-cream. Right?!?!
Apparently there was every way. Because Xuan very soon found herself standing in front of the most famous ice-cream parlor in the whole campus. She felt very ridiculous, going to get ice-cream dressed in a ballgown, with a sash that said, 'Belle of the ball' around her. But at the same time, Ying Xuan felt a weird warmth spread from her chest throughout her body as she watched Wei Jingyu walk to the counter, looking very ridiculous indeed in eighteenth century formal attire, and every eye in the parlor turn to him.
Xuan skipped over to him and he asked, "Which one do you want?" She shrugged and signed, 'Whichever one you want.' "Oh no no no no." Wei Jingyu spoke, drawing out his words that reminded Xuan a little too much of Shaoyan. "The best designer at the campus is getting her choice of ice-cream tonight. So you better choose."
Ying Xuan blushed red as she signed, 'The best designer in first year.' and pointed to the first flavor that crossed her sight.
"So you won the best designer today?" Xuan looked up upon hearing a voice. She nodded upon seeing an old lady in an apron, apparently the person who was serving at the counter. The lady let out a huge smile and said, "Such a pretty face! I must say, with your looks, they should have invented an award for the prettiest person on the campus."
Wei Jingyu laughed out loud upon hearing this. "She did win the belle of the ball." he said, pulling Xuan in the center to show her off. The lady smiled and spoke, "She definitely deserves it. And I assume you won the gentleman with her." She eyed the sash around Jingyu as she said this. He nodded and a proud smile spread across his lips. "All thanks to my princess here." he said.
The lady gave both of them a motherly smile and asked, "Now what would you kids like to have?" Wei Jingyu ordered two bowls of ice-cream, and when he pulled out his card to pay, the lady shook her head. "It's on the house." she said, "Consider it an congratulations for becoming the belle and the gentleman."
The two thanked the lady and went to a table with their bowls.
During the course of finishing their ice-creams, Wei Jingyu mysteriously vanished after saying he would be back in a bit. True to his word, he came back just as Ying Xuan finished her ice-cream.
