An Ning: "Buzz... Last sip, it's so delicious, I'll sleep soundly after drinking this."
Thunder: "How romantic, Anning. You smell so good after drinking, and your skin is fair and rosy."
Anning: "Then you're not allowed to take advantage of me, hiccup..."
Thunder: "Have you had too much to drink? Stop drinking. Come on, I'll sing you a song."
Anning: "What song?"
After downing two bottles of limited-edition wine, both of them had a flush on their faces. An Ning's skin was slightly red, and she swayed her head seductively as she lounged on the sofa. Lei Ting put down his wine glass, feeling the time was perfect, lit candles, and turned off the lights.
An Ning: "What song?! You can sing..."
Anning thought it was a sentimental English song, the kind that's hummed softly with a nasal tone, but she never expected it to be an old hit song.
Thunder: "The Little Tigers' 'Love'".
Anning: "Love?"
Which song is called "Love"? The familiar intro began, and Anning was instantly transported back to her childhood. Her school had organized a trip for the students to see a Little Tigers concert. In the audience, Anning would mimic the hand gestures the three handsome guys made on stage, especially the one where they circled their ears – a gesture she remembered vividly. She hadn't expected Lei Ting to sing so well; his voice combined the unique characteristics of each member of the Little Tigers, and his roguish yet handsome appearance was captivating. Anning stared intently at Lei Ting.
Thunder: "Let's string our hearts together, string them together like a lucky clover, string them together into a circle of unity."
Anning: "Haha... I used to hum this all the time when I was little, haven't heard it in ages, haha..."
Lei Ting held the microphone and sang a heartfelt song to An Ning, who listened excitedly from the sofa. A little tipsy from the alcohol, An Ning felt a bit dizzy. Lei Ting took the opportunity to finish the entire song expressing his love, his gaze never leaving An Ning for a moment. Towards the end, An Ning was even able to hum along with Lei Ting to the melody.
Thunder: "Shout out 'I love you' to the sky, tell the wandering white clouds 'I miss you,' let the sky hear, let the clouds see, no one can erase the promise we made. I want to take you to see the sea and say 'I love you,' give you the brightest star and say 'I miss you,' listen to the sea's vow, look at the unwavering blue sky, let us love freely~ Oh oh oh oh..."
Anning: "Ooh... ooh..."
Thunder: "Anning, I love you, I love you so much. Maybe I should have sung this song to you a long time ago. It's not too late now, Anning. Please entrust the rest of your life to me. Whether it's the next fifty years or five hundred years, I will love you as always."
As the song ended, the candlelight flickered on the candlestick, casting a pale blue glow. Lei Ting, his face flushed, confessed his love to An Ning. He took their wedding ring from his pocket, knelt before her, and the gleaming ring in the box shone brightly, a testament to Lei Ting's love for her, and a testament to their past.
Anning sat on the soft, comfortable sofa, staring at the ring before her—her and Leiting's wedding rings, two pink South African diamonds that, when joined together, formed a love knot. Leiting's finger was already tightly clasped in his own knot, hoping Anning would reach out and re-establish their deepest bond. So familiar. These two wedding rings were beckoning to Anning. Anning's hand involuntarily reached out, but reason told her no, no.
Anning was stunned for a minute, hesitating to reach out. Instead, she lowered her head. Leiting knew she wasn't ready yet, so he didn't say anything, put the ring back in the box, and placed it on the table. Anning kept her head down, and Leiting cupped her face, brushed the hair from her forehead, and wanted to kiss her, but didn't.
