It's a start

Ying Xuan squeezed Jingyu's hand as she came to a realisation. She had fallen for this arrogant, proud boy walking beside her.

Xuan decided that she was agreeing to a date today, whether he completed the half court shot or not.

Xuan and Jingyu reached the basketball court and found it empty. This was not surprising as the classes had come to an end and the end sems were just around the corner.

As Wei Jingyu picked up a basketball and walked towards the centre of the court, Ying Xuan signed, 'Good luck.'

Wei Jingyu chuckled, "I'm gonna need it."

He took his position and threw the ball.

Xuan watched in anticipation as the ball hit the ring of the basket and fell out. Jingyu caught it and took aim again, saying, "You're not getting rid of me that easy."

Ying Xuan almost squealed as the bal hit the ring of the basket and almost went in.

Wei Jingyu watched dejectedly and sighed, "I guess it's too impossible for me after all."

He turned towards Xuan and said, "Come on. Let's go back and watch some plays."

Ying Xuan signed, 'Try one more time.'

"Huh?" Jingyu asked, surprised.

Xuan picked up the ball and handed it to Wei Jingyu. The latter could never refuse something Xuan asked, let alone when she looked like she wanted it so much like she did right now.

Wei Jingyu sighed as he took aim again, "If you insist."

Ying Xuan walked back to the edge of the court and watched in anticipation as the ball hit the ring and then bounced, hit the ring again before going inside the basket.

"Will you look at that!" Wei Jingyu said to himself as he turned to look at Xuan, a triumphant smile on his face.

Ying Xuan beamed and rushed forward.

She threw herself in Wei Jingyu's arms in ecstasy.

He had definitely not being expecting it, but Jingyu was delighted as he also wrapped his arms around Ying Xuan. He was really giddy and felt like the luckiest guy in the world. Xuan was hugging him and she would go on a date with him too. He felt like he couldn't get any more happier.

But what Xuan did next proved him wrong. She reached over and planted a kiss on Wei Jingyu's cheek before signing, 'Congratulations.'

Wei Jingyu actually stopped functioning once he realised what had happened. If he had been a robot, there was no doubt that he would have short circuited.

Ying Xuan was getting a bit worried that Jingyu was not giving any reaction when the tips of his tears turned pink and he let out a dorky smile. "I guess we're going on a date after all." he said.

Hearing his words, Ying Xuan also blushed and Jingyu unwrapped his arms from around her and stepped back. "Well.....that.....that was nice." Wei Jingyu said, running his hand through his hair.

Ying Xuan smiled shyly and didn't reply.

Jingyu stroked his cheeks and decided to take the chance, "Can I get another one of those?"

Ying Xuan rolled her eyes and signed with a chuckle, 'Slow down tiger. I've just agreed to a date.'

Wei Jingyu also laughed, "It's a start anyway."
