-Continued-

On a certain night, Yao and I were looking at the moon.

Yao was saying something, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. The expression on his face looked painful and sad.

He then looked at me and asked me something. I nodded and he hugged me really tightly. He nuzzled his nose on my neck, which sent my heart beating wildly.

Suddenly, I could hear him speak.

"Thank you for listening to me..." he said, "Can I tell you something else, if you don't mind?"

"What is it?" I asked.

"Wo ai ni, _____..." he whispered in my ear, "I love you so much,"

---

You suddenly woke up.

"Where am I? Is this my room?" you asked.

"And that dream...." you mumbled, "Did he.... confess?"

You blushed.

"No way! ____, you're probably hallucinating," you laughed at yourself and wiped your face.

"Or maybe...it's true?"

"Man! I hate thinking too much! I'll just sleep!" you huffed, pulling the blanket over you and closing your eyes.

I can't sleep...

You turned around here and there, trying hard to sleep but you couldn't. Questions about that dream kept you thinking.

You walked out of the room and sat down on the grass, looking at the sky.

"It was the same full moon in my dream," you observed.

You breathed out a song someone sang to you a long time ago.

This night is sparkling,

Don't you let it go,

I'm wonderstruck,

Blushing all the way home...

I'll spend forever, wondering if you knew,

I was enchanted to meet you..

You got up to leave, when you noticed Yao standing at a distance, looking at the moon.

You stealthily slipped behind a tree and watched him.

"The moon's full tonight...Rabbits are pounding medicine up there. I wonder if I can have some of it," he muttered.

Rabbits pounding medicine?

You looked up and saw nothing that looked like rabbits.

Yao has an imagination level which is literally over 9000!

You quietly giggled and peeked from behind the tree. Yao was walking back to his room. As soon as he was out of sight, you slipped back in your room.

-Next Day- -Yao's P.O.V-

"Oh no, not again, America!" I shouted over the phone.

"Dude! This is important! We definitely can't afford you not coming!"

I stayed quiet for a while.

"China?" he called.

I closed my eyes and sighed.
