A long night is soon to be over, It's time for her to go home, after having a deep conversation in making their relationship clear, by answering all the questions she wanted to ask him. They rode a cab and made a drop off in front of Ava's house. Just like a scene from a drama, the smile won't leave their faces. Their eyes shines like no other lights of tonight. hence, they had to let go of each other's hand and sleep the night. "I'll see you in the campus then." said Zhang Yi. "Alright, see you there." they finally bid their Goodnights leaving her a kiss on her forehead.

Ava's been rolling on her bed for over 2 hours now, after all the explanations she heard from him. She's still afraid to sleep and find all these tomorrow just a beautiful dream.

" Gosh, I don't feel like sleeping.." she thought. Just like that, her eyes soon felt a little heavier while staring at her room ceiling and eventually fell asleep.

Just like Ava. Zhang Yi couldn't believe he finally had the courage to tell her about his feelings. It was not planned, everything ended up this way because of their juniors. Earlier today when they were having a dinner gathering with some students on different levels who were dating with his Teammates, he heard them talk about her audition in Beijing that's why she was not with them at the moment. Then one of his teammate says. "Beijing? I saw her earlier, she looked liked in a hurry just this afternoon. right! I remember she was looking for Zhang Yi. Have you met?" he looked at him. Zhang Yi was surprised, that was the first time she'd look for him personally. "Why are you just telling me this now?" said Zhang Yi. "I'm sorry, I just. Remembered." he explained. "do you know where she is?" he asked. "that.. I called Jojo to inquire about you as for her request, he said you mentioned about going to Zhengzhou Station and was not sure if you could attend tonight's dinner with the team.. - hey, Yiyi! Where are you going?" his teammate was not yet done explaining when he hurriedly ran out the exit. *dang it! "it's already 7 pm now. Who the heck told them about me going to Zhengzhou?" he ran at the parking lot as quickly as possible, but he forgot his car key. He didn't want to go back and waste time so he rode a cab instead. He was restless the entire hour of ride and endure the road congestion. When he finally reach the station. He desperately look for her everywhere and even mistakenly called several woman Ava. After the longest 30 mins time looking for her. Just across the street he finally saw the familiar figure he's been wanting to see, walking back and forth. He was not sure how to approach her, and hesitantly making a step forward. Then a loud honking from a distant got his attention, the car seemed out of control and is heading off the road going to where Ava is located. It was the time that he's body reacted without him thinking of it, and ran towards Ava who was then about to get hit.

He couldn't imagine how nervous he was for Ava, that he thought of beating the drunk driver to a pulp who almost get her killed. If he was late for even a second, he would have lost her. He could've been in regrets and might be blaming himself by now if anything bad had happened to her. Just the thought of loosing the person he cherished the most is like an aching deep cut. He thought of her face that sincerely declares her love for him, and that's enough to give him a goodnight sleep.

Ava just arrived in the campus riding a bus. While walking towards the campus entrance, he noticed Zhang Yi from a far making her smile from ear to ear, as he was waiting patiently. Ava came running, but controlled herself before a few more steps reaching out to him. Zhang Yi noticed Ava running and immediately stopped midway when he turned to her, he thought. "I better get used to seeing this cuteness more often now.. " he muttered releasing a deep sigh. "Good.. Morning." she greeted shyly. "Good morning." he replied giving her a smile.

While walking. "Did you wait long?" asked Ava. He thought of teasing her and replied "It's been six hours from now." she put on a break oh her excited feet upon hearing it. "What?! Six hours?" he was not expecting her to react so-loud that it gather some attention from the other students passing by. "How come you.." he walked closer to her, making Ava stopped from asking follow up questions. "Silly, I was just teasing you because you waited 6 long hours on a place your not even sure if I was really there. Don't worry, I just arrived 20 minutes earlier than you" Zhang Yi can't help but smile when explaining to her. He grabbed her hand holding it tight and walked together.

Ava couldn't deny her feeling a bit shy for dating a Senior, as a mere freshman it is really unusual. As the rumor says those seniors dating a freshman before broke up with their partners, after graduating from the University. Zhang Yi noticed her expression. "Do you feel uncomfortable, me holding your hand?" he asked. "-Of course not. I was in fact.. So happy that I finally get to held hands with you, Its been my dream. How come I'll feel uncomfortable?" she answered truthfully. They have reached her classroom door and saw everyone preparing for their class. "Go on in, I'll fetch you after school okay?" he bend a little lower and left him a kiss on her cheek, which most of the class had witnessed.
