Si leaned against the closed door with his eyes shut and found that his heart was racing. The old lady was crazy, but why was he feeling light-headed at the mere thought of being with Shancai that way?

Suddenly, he felt a presence in front of him. His instincts kicked in and he grabbed the person and pinned him to the wall. "Daoming Si..." He knew that voice anywhere. His eyes flew open to see Shancai staring up at him as he gripped her wrist. He let go of her but kept his palms flat against the wall, trapping her between his arms. He looked at her intently and saw that she was blushing. He narrowed his eyes at her. "What did you hear?" She avoided his eyes in her usual shifty Shancai way and stammered, "I was just... Mrs. Yu was... I forgot... You--"

Before she could say anything, he leaned in and kissed her with the same intensity as he had so long ago on the rooftop. But this time, she didn't resist him. His knees almost buckled when he felt her respond with the same intensity, and he pulled her closer to him. The world seemed to melt away, and all of their problems with it. There was only him and her and this moment.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, they finally pulled away and looked at each other. "Is it really the only way?" she asked him shyly. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, shook his head, and touched his forehead to hers. "No. You're not that kind of girl, and I'm not that kind of guy." She smiled up at him, that radiant smile that he loved so much because it was so rare that she gave it to him. ."Someday, it will be wonderful," she said. And the promise of the future warmed his heart, almost as much as the warmth of her touch as they held each other, swaying to an invisible beat that only they could hear.
