Hui Jian and I sat together on the balcony. We spent our time together until we dropped.
"Mei Ling, look at the sky!" said Hui Jian.
"What happened?" asked me.
"The snow is still falling," said Hui Jian.
"Yeah," said me.
Hui Jian took a blanket that I brought to the balcony. He opened it and put it on our haunches because the weather is so cold.
"Mei Ling," said Hui Jian.
Hui Jian leaned his head on my left shoulder. After that, he closed her eyes for a while. I didn't understand why he did that to me.
"Hui Jian, why are you leaning your head on my shoulder?" asked me.
"Let me be like this just for a while," said Hui Jian.
Hui Jian leaned his head on my left shoulder for twenty minutes. While he leaned his head on my shoulder, I sang a song.
Wo ting jian yu di luo zai qing qing cao di
Wo ting jian yuan fang xia ke zhong sheng xiang qi
Ke shi wo mei you ting jian ni de sheng yin
Ren zhen hu huan wo xing ming
Ai shang ni de shi hou hai bu dong gan qing
Li bie le cai jue de ke qu ming xin
Wei shen me mei you fa xian yu jian le ni
Shi sheng ming zui hao de shi qing
Ye xu shi mang zhe wei xiao he ku qi
Mang zhe zhui zhu tian kong zhong de liu xing
Ren li suo dang ran de wang ji
Shi shei feng li yu li yi zhi mo mo shou hu zai yuan di
Yuan lai ni shi wo zui xiang liu zhu de xing yun
Yuan lai wo men he ai qing ceng jing kai de na me jin
Na wei wo dui kang shi jie de jue ding
Na pei wo lin de yu
Yi mu mu dou shi ni yi chen bu ran de zhen xin
Yu ni xiang yu hao xing yun
Ke wo yi shi qu wei ni lei liu man mian de quan li
Dan yuan zai wo kan bu dao de tian ji
Ni zhang kai le shuang yi
Yu jian ni de zhu ding
Ta hui you duo xing yun

"Mei Ling!" Wei Sheng called my name and he made me wake up.
"Huh, what time is it?" asked Hui jian who was waking up too.
"It's almost 11 o'clock p.m.," said me after I looked at my phone.
"What are you doing there?" asked Wei Sheng.
"We have been sleeping here," said me.
"Mei Ling, it's time for me to go home," said Hui Jian.
"Okay, see you later!" said me.
"Mei Ling," said Hui Jian.
"What?" asked me.
"Before I go home, let me kiss your forehead," said Hui Jian.
"Huh?" I didn't understand why did he want to kiss my forehead.
"Mei Ling, wo ai ni," said Hui Jian after he kissed my forehead.
Hui Jian left me after he said that he loves me. Beside that, I saw Wei Sheng. He was angry at us who spent our time on the balcony. Okay, we are still young. I'm 20 years old and Hui Jian is 23 years old. But, if we love each other, how can he be angry with us?
I haven't told Hui Jian about my feelings until now. I love him too. I have loved him since last month, the first time we went to the great wall together.
It has been one month. We have been closed for one month. Hui Jian always treats me well and he cares for me. That's why I love him.

One week after the first day of new year, my mom visited me and my grandmother in Beijing. Hui Jian accompanied us to the airport to pick up my mom.
"Mama," said me when I saw my mom.
"How are you?" asked my mom.
"I'm fine. Mama, he is Hui Jian, my boyfriend. Hui Jian, she is my mom," said me.
"Ni hao. Wo de mingzi jiao Wu Hui Jian," said Hui Jian.
"Ni hao," said my mom.
After we picked up my mom at the airport, we went to a restaurant. We have yum cha together. We drank chinese tea and ate dimsum like chinese porridge, bao, and spring roll together. My mom is cantonese, so she likes to eat dim sum because dimsum is from canton.
Dictionary:Wo ai ni = I love youNi hao = helloYum cha = time to drink tea and eat dimsum on the morning together
