Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

Chapter 208: Confession

"W-Wait! Where are we going?" Elaina asked as she was dragged by Li Wei to the opposite side of the amusement park. It was away from the stalls and the rides. The opposite side of the amusement park was closed for the customers, but it wasn't for the owner, that was Li Wei.

Elaina knew that Li Wei wouldn't answer where they were going so she decided to follow Li Wei's lead. 

The sky had become dark as the sun had set and the blue sky had now become a mixture of purple, orange, and red which had created a beautiful synergy, depicting the end of the daylight, and also depicting that ending are always beautiful, no matter sad or happy, they will always be beautiful, it doesn't matter how you see it, it matters with which mindset you see it. 

The mindset matters, it always has, and it always will. 

Anyways, back to the scene, after walking some distance, Li Wei stopped and so did Elaina. 

"Why? Are we here?" Elaina said looking in and around her, where she could only see the bushes and trees. 

Li Wei didn't answer, instead, he went behind Elaina. 

Elaina couldn't understand what he was doing at first, but as soon as her vision had turned dark, as Li Wei's warm hands covered her eyes, she was flustered. 

"Just stay like this! And keep walking straight," Li Wei said as he requested Elaina to do what he said. 

Elaina followed what he said and started to walk forward slowly, with Li Wei still covering her eyes with her hands. 

After taking almost ten to nine steps, Li Wei said, "Stop," and Elaina halted her steps, as she was settled, Li Wei slowly removed her hands from her eyes and her eyes that were shut opened as well. 

The scene before her almost made her gasp. 

It was a beautiful lake surrounded by trees and bushes beside it. The water of the lake was as clear as a mirror, a stagnant mirror that would not reflect the scene as it was but more beautifully than it originally was. It seemed peaceful and statute still, which was not meant to be disturbed, nor anyone would want to disturb it, it looked so amazing and majestic. 

The sky which was a mixture of purple, orange, and red colors had its reflection shown on the metallic disc-like lake. No sound rang out from the shimmering emptiness of space around it. 

Around the lake were trees and bushes, which enhanced its beauty more and more. 

No one would have thought that there would be a scene like this behind an amusement park, it was unbelievable, 

"How did you-"

Elaina's amazement was interrupted by Li Wei who kept a finger on her lips and gestured to keep quiet and pointed towards the sky. 

Elaina flinched and then shifted her gaze towards the direction in which Li Wei pointed out. 

After a moment when she did, suddenly there were loud sounds. 

POOM! THWIFF! Crackle! Shhhheeeeeee!

Elaina who was nearly startled by this, was awestruck the next moment. The beautiful lake and sky were outshone by the dazzling fireworks as they spiraled into the now pitch-black sky. The colors and sounds that were exploding from them were phenomenal. Sprays of crimson lava decorated the sky and made it seem like there was a mini volcanic eruption but this one seemed beautiful. 

Not only crimson, but many different types of colors and many different patterns were also formed on the sky one by one and some at the same time. This beautiful scene was being reflected on the lake that was now not so peaceful now maybe because of the sounds of the fireworks. 

Elaina stared at the beautiful scenery with eyes full of amazement, but for Li Wei, this scene in the sky was nothing compared to what was beside him, that was Elaina. 

The fireworks were reflected on her eyes, but her eyes more beautiful, the light from the fireworks shone upon her face and highlighted every detail of her face. 

How can someone be as beautiful as her? 

This was the question that was invading all of Li Wei's thoughts right now. 

Elaina suddenly came out of the trance and looked at Li Wei who was in turn staring at her with eyes full of affection and some wondering questions in them. 

There were many emotions stirring inside Elaina's heart and many thoughts lingering in her mind. She was not able to get rid of the uneasiness that was slowly increasing in her heart. She broke her stare and turned again towards the sky. By now the fireworks had stoped the existing ones had faded. Taking a deep breath, she said the first words that had came into her mind, "Thank you Li Wei!"

A satisfying smile came upon Li Wei's handsome face. He mumbled in response, "My pleasure."

Taking a deep breath, Elaina started speaking, "How did you find out that I was Wang Yu Yan at the masquerade?" 

There were hints of caution in Elaina's voice. 

Li Wei scoffed as a response and then said, "How would I not know that you were my Wang Yu Yan?" 

Elaina bit her lower lip hard, a smile threatening to build upon her face,e she turned towards him again with soft eyes and then said, "Why did you wait for me?" She whispered. 

"Why did you attend the masquerade?" He posed another question. Elaina wiggled her brows in annoyance and snorted. 

Li Wei smiled amusedly. He scooted her cheek with his thumb and said, "Meeting you was the biggest gift, I could ask for. Knowing you was the happiest moment in my life. Falling in love with you was the most cherished moment I ever had, losing you was my scariest nightmare, and bringing you back was the best deed I ever did."

Elaina's lips parted and her eyes started to fill with big tears. Slowly they started rolling down her cheeks. She subconsciously grabbed both of Li Wei's hands and squeezed them. 

"But I left you, and hid from you after all these months," Elaina said with a low voice. 

"That was the past, just know that I love you and that I am your present and future," Li Wei said. 

Elaina didn't say a word, tears were still rolling down her eyes. 

"I love you, so much, and I want to show it to you every moment of my life. My love for you is enough that I can die for you happily," Li Wei confessed the thoughts in his heart while wiping her tears with his thumb. 

Elaina couldn't think of anything else as she bounced onto him and sobbed quietly on his shoulders, Li Wei on the other hand was startled by this movement, but he held her into his arms tightly and he had a satisfying smile on his face as he gently rubbed her back while she silently sobbed in his arms. 

After a few moments, Elaina stopped crying and broke the hug between them. 

"I will never leave you again, I will make sure to spend my life with you," Elaina said those words as she immediately attacked Li Wei lips. Li Wei who was startled by his sudden confession, Elaina's kiss came to him as a surprise as well. 

But he slowly closed his eyes and started to deepen the kiss between them, it seemed like it was the best moment of both their lives and how they both wished for the time to stop here so that they can melt into each other completely. 

"Eliana!"

"Eliana!"

"Are you listening?"

Elaina was startled by this sudden shout as she turned towards Li Wei who was shaking her continuously. 

"Where were you daydreaming?" Li Wei asked as his voice brought back Elaina to reality. Elaina was dumbfounded.

Just now, she and Li Wei confessed to each other and kissed as well. It all happened at this same place, then how is this.

Her hand unconsciously reached her eyes, which were dry as she hadn't cried, and then to her lips. 

"What happened are you ok? The fireworks are finished, I wanted to ask you to return but you weren't answering," Li Wei seemed worried and anxious. 

He was surprised, she was ok a moment ago when they were watching fireworks together and then suddenly when the fireworks finished, Elaina became a statue, it was as if she was daydreaming.

He had never seen her lost like this, and it made her worried. 

Elaina was dumbfounded, her heartbeat increased suddenly as her face turned red the same as a tomato. 

So what just happened, that confession and kiss was it all just her imagination! Nothing like that happened? And if it is her imagination, just what was she thinking to imagine something like that!

Elaina's wish was to jump into an underground hole and hid there because of embarrassment, it would be so bad if Li Wei knew what she thinking. She will be doomed!
