Li Ling hadn't realized that he was smiling. He didn't know why, but such a trivial thing managed to make him forget all about his worries and he could laugh carelessly without worrying about their future.
"I like you like that," Zhihao suddenly beamed, "When you're being yourself, I like it. I feel accomplished when I see you laughing like that, especially because I know that the reason behind your smile is me."
Li Ling was speechless and because he had no response to that, he suddenly felt a little mischievous. He leaned in close to Zhihao and asked in a whispering voice, "Do you know what would make me laugh more?"
Zhihao probably thought that Li Ling was going to kiss him so he simply sat there and half-closed his eyes as he asked back, "What?"
Instead of kissing him, Li Ling leaned closer to the man's ears and whispered, "This."
