You Got Me

"You're stuck on me and my laughing eyes

I can't pretend though I tried to hide

I like you, I like you …"

Si Weimin never at once took his eyes from Xu Jia Li. Even before she started to sing, he secretly took his phone and began taking video.

"I think I felt my heart skip a beat

I'm standing here and I can hardly breathe

You got me, yeah, you got me…"

Xu Jia Li's beautiful voice was a pleasant melody to Si Weimin's ears. He was mesmerized. Suddenly, he felt lost in those autumn colored eyes. He could feel the soul in her song. He even thought for a while that she was telling him her emotions. He sighed, almost wanting to stand next to her, grab her and kiss her then and there.

"The way you take my hand is just so sweet

And that crooked smile of yours

It knocks me off my feet…"

Si Weimin's heart was thumping so fast from the emotions he concealed inside. His eyes were filled with adoration for her, "I love you, Jia."

"Oh, I just can't get enough

How much do I need to fill me up?

It feels so good it must be love

It's everything that I've been dreaming of…"

***

Xu Jia Li poured her heart in the song. She confessed all her love as she occasionally gazed at Si Weimin.

The song was enough declaration of what she really felt. She really gave it to Zhen Nian for picking this song for her.

Without taking her eyes from him, she continued singing,

"I give up, I give in, I let go

Let's begin

Cause no matter what I do

My heart is filled with you…"

The three ladies clapped their hands after Xu Jia Li finished the song.

"Is Li-jie confessing her feelings through that song?" Shen Linqin whispered into Zhen Nian's ear.

"I think so…" Zhen Nian whispered back as she moved her gaze to Xu Jia Li, winking at her

When Xu Jia Li saw that, she turned red in an instant. She even saw the teasing looks on their faces.

Xu Jia Li stared at Si Weimin, she couldn't tell what he was thinking. There was something about the way he looked at her that made her melt.

Finding the courage, she spoke, "I would really like to take this chance to thank CEO Si for helping me. I'm indebted to you." Xu Jia Li bowed her head.

"Was it CEO Si who sent the information to Li-jie?" asked the confused Shen Linqin.

"Yes. That's right," Zhen Nian answered with tears in her eyes. She was really happy seeing the two. She knew that Si Weimin loved Xu Jia Li so much, almost willing to do anything for her.

"Eh, why are you crying?"

"Because I remembered when you said earlier that you will kiss the 'sender' if you met him." Zhen Nian lied as she answered, "Will you kiss CEO Si now?"

"…"

Zhen Nian laughed when she saw Shen Linqin's expression. Even Lan Meixu and Xu Jia Li joined in.

"T-that's… well…" Shen Linqin threw Zhen Nian an accusing gaze before she awkwardly spoke, looking shyly at Si Weimin,

"You see, I didn't really mean it, CEO Si. He He! I really don't like you at all. I prefer Yun-ge's type. He he! Li-jie can have you all to herself. He He!"

Si Weimin : "…"

Xu Jia Li : "…"

Lan Meixu and Zhen Nian : "…" 'Is she nuts? How did she have the guts? Is she just talking to a child? Haist! She's a lost case!' The two of them could only shake their heads in disbelief.

Si Weimin was the first to break the awkward silence, "That's such a nice plan since I don't consider the idea of being taken by other women aside from your Li-jie."

Xu Jia Li almost spurted blood upon hearing Si Weimin. 'He's getting bolder!'

"Aiyoo, CEO, stop feeding us dog food." Zhen Nian jokingly said.

"Should I call Wang Guo to accompany you, then?" Si Weimin answered in a serious manner.

Zhen Nian blushed as she refuted, "CEO Si, you're mistaken. I don't even want to see the face of that guy. It makes me cringe."

"Oh! You're on time, Assistant Wang." Xu Jia Li exclaimed.

Zhen Nian immediately stood as she looked towards the door. Her face was so pale and her eyes were misty that she looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing no one at the door, she questioningly looked at Xu Jia Li. Then, suddenly, Xu Jia Li burst out in a joyous laughter.

"Li-jie, how can you do this to me?" Zhen Nian covered her face, feeling really embarrassed.

"I didn't know you cowered just like that upon hearing Assistant Wang's name."

"Li-jie! Stop it already!" the bullied Zhen Nian slumped on her seat.

"So, is there something going on with Nian and Assistant Wang?" Shen Linqin teased Zhen Nian. Finally, she was able to return Zhen Nian's taunting.

"Linqin!" Zhen Nian shouted.

Everyone shared a hearty laugh after seeing Zhen Nian's reaction. The atmosphere was really light and relaxed.

"Li-jie, why don't you sing with CEO Si?" Shen Linqin asked playfully.

Xu Jia Li turned her gaze towards Si Weimin, her eyes questioning him.

"I'll leave it up to Jia if she's okay having a duet with me." Si Weimin answered seriously without ever taking his gaze away from her.

"Li-jie, c'mon!" Shen Linqin and Zhen Nian pushed Xu Jia Li while Si Weimin stood from his seat, following behind them.

Xu Jia Li picked up the remote as she asked Si Weimin, "What would you like to sing?"

"You choose."

Xu Jia Li was so nervous, she couldn't even feel anything. She entered the song and within seconds, the beautiful sounds of the song filled the room.

Xu Jia Li glanced at Si Weimin as she sang first,

"You were the light that wounds the eye

The pain that time could not deny

I felt resistance fading fast

As if you saved my heart for last…"

Xu Jia Li nodded as if cuing Si Weimin's part, then a beautiful manly voice filled the room… It even filled Xu Jia Li's heart…

"I toss and turn helplessly

There's nothin' no one can do for me

You're the first thought in my soul

There's no regaining my control…"

Zhen Nian was almost moved to tears as she took a video of the two. She would never waste this once in a lifetime chance.

Shen Linqin was so mesmerized that she was convinced that her Li-jie was only fated for Si Weimin, 'They look so good together.'

Lan Meixu was ever quiet… yet this moment really touched her deep. She always prayed for Xu Jia Li's happiness because she deserved it.

"And should one day I stand accused

By other love I have refused

When hope is gone and I am weak

You are the last name I will speak…"

Xu Jia Li and Si Weimin gazed lovingly with each other as they sang the duet part,

"Tear this heart right out of me

Lock it out then lose the key

Curse my name when you kneel to pray

I'm gonna love you anyway…"
