When Arya sat in the car, she was still blushing and Jack who sat in the driver seat was smiling as he looked at her.
She urged him to start the car but he did not want to move.
“I don’t want to send you back so early.”
She felt shy and happy when she heard this.  “We can go somewhere else for a stroll.”  In fact, she also did not want to be separated from him so quickly.
Jack drove the car to a garden in the city center.  After parking the car, they strolled in the garden side by side. 
As they walked, Arya slipped her hands around Jack’s arm.   “Dr. Jack, did you used to walk with your girlfriends like this……”  She demonstrated the way she put her hands around his arm.  “Or did you walk like this?”  She again demonstrated by holding onto his hand. 
“We walk on our own.”  Jack pulled her hand away and walked with her shoulder to shoulder.  “We walked like this.”
“Why?”
“What do you mean…..why?”
“Why didn’t you walk in the way expected of a couple?”
“Isn’t it bothersome to be pulling one another?  We’re not children, will we get lost?  Sometimes when you are holding hands, you will have to let go when you come to an obstacle and after that, you have to hold hands again, isn’t that troublesome?” 
Arya twitched her mouth and felt a bit unhappy.
“What do you like?”  Jack asked her.
“When I was with my ex-boyfriend, I liked to hold his hands.”  She said but Jack interrupted.  “You don’t have to tell me about the past.”
She ignored him and continued.  “But you are taller, your hands are very big and it feels very comfortable holding your hands.”  She slipped her hand into his hand……it really feels very comfortable.
She withdrew her hand and said.  “But my ex-boyfriend also didn’t like me holding his hand and you also don’t like it.  Men are really so weird.”
“Women are also weird.  What is so good about being dragged along?”
“To increase the sense of intimacy and we can also declare sovereignty. We don’t have to say anything, just walk together and show all the people on the street……look, this man is my boyfriend.”  She raised her chin slightly with an arrogant expression.
“Even if the person on the street doesn’t know he is your boyfriend, but he is still your boyfriend, so why is there a need to announce?”
“I told you it’s not the same thing.  It’s a sense of closeness and you walk in happiness.  And this is also a popular sensual way of expressing we are a couple.”  Arya said with contempt again.  “Dr. Jack, how did you manage your three love affairs in the past?”
Jack did not speak and only looked down at her hand.
“Okay.”  He reached out and took her hand.  “I’ll let you declare sovereignty that this man is your boyfriend.”
Arya let go of his hand.  “It doesn’t matter.  Anyway, I’m not going to declare that this man is my boyfriend.”
She did not want him to change intentionally.  She wanted them to mutually bond and she did not want him to feel uncomfortable.  Walking is a small matter and she does not mind.
“Hey!”  Jack was offended.  “Why do you keep changing your mind?”
“I said it doesn’t matter.”
“Hold my hand.”  He insisted.
She felt a little happy and allowed him to hold her hand.  The two of them walked for a while, then, she withdrew her hand and placed it around his arm.
“What are you doing?”
“I want to compare and judge which position is more comfortable.”
Jack’s face was full of black lines.  “Arya, you are really silly.”
Arya laughed and said.  “I still prefer to hold your arm.”
Her smiling face looked up at his helpless expression.  Finally, he gave in and let her walk while holding his arm. 
After walking for a while, Jack finally announced that strolling this kind of thing was not something easy for a man and so he found a bench to sit down.
There were no people around and it was very quiet.  Beside the long bench stood a lamp post and it's warm light shone upon them.
She looked at the side view of his face.  She felt that when he was dating Shelly that time, they must have liked to take photos together and also liked to hold hands while they strolled.  The 20 years-old him and the 30 years-old him must definitely not be the same. 
“What are you looking at?”
“Looking at my boyfriend.”  She imitated the tone of his voice.
Jack laughed.  “Don’t you want to think it over again?”  He also imitated the tone of her voice.
“Conducting an observation now.”  She wrinkled her nose.  “Dr. Jack, I’m thinking that at the age of 20 years old, you must be more enthusiastic than you are now.”
Jack’s smile widened and was about to speak when she continued.  “But then, your vision now is very much better than it was at that time.”
He was surprised and she went on to say.  “Some men, when they grow older, they become blind but as you grow older, your taste gets better.  I appreciate this very much.  Young man, keep this up.”
Jack stared at her.  At first, he smiled then he laughed out loud.  “Arya, the way you praised yourself is really subtle.”
She puffed up her face.  “Am I wrong?”
“No, no……you’re not wrong.”  He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tight.  “Arya, fortunately, you only appeared now.”
If she had appeared too early, he would not have fallen in love with her.
She understood his meaning because this was what she had also thought too.
If she had appeared too late, maybe it would not be her.
“Arya, fortunately, you had pursued me.”
“But I failed.”
“Now, you have succeeded, right?”
Arya was stunned.  Wait a minute, this matter must be disputed.
“Dr. Jack, you have reminded me.”  She sat up straight, cleared her throat and said seriously.  “This matter is like this.  I had chased you and you had refused, so my pursuit had ended.  Later, we became friends, and a little later you suddenly said you wanted to be my boyfriend.  Although we are now in the period of association and observation, however, there is still an important link missing here.”
He looked at her and blinked his eyes as though he still did not understand.
“Dr. Jack, you have not pursued me and you just simply announced that you wanted to be my boyfriend.
“So?........”
“So…….now you will have to pursue me.”
Jack’s face was full of black lines.  “Arya, are you playing house?”
“I’m not playing with you.  My requirements are very low and without many tricks.  I just want you to do something for me, something that will make me feel happy and touched.”  She said in a hurry and thought about it, then added another sentence.  “And you don’t have to think about it.  I have already prepared it for you, and you just have to do it.”
“Is it?”  Jack did not seem to believe her.
“It’s true.”
“Is it simple and suitable for a 30-year-old man to do it?”
“Um……”  She nodded with a look of anticipation on her face.
Jack still did not trust her.  “Tell me first.”
“You have to promise first.”
He looked at her and she looked back at him.  Two pairs of eyes met and the two people seemed persistent.
Her heart was drumming and suddenly felt that she was behaving a bit willful.  Will he hate her for this?  She felt a bit apprehensive and was thinking to give in when she heard him say.  “Okay, okay, I promise you that I will do something that will make you happy and touched.”
The feeling of warmth suddenly poured into her heart.
He had not done anything and only just said a few words.
She bit her lip and wanted to smile secretly.
“It’s so easy to make you happy.”
She heard Jack’s soft muttering and decided to smiled openly.  She stated.  “Dr. Jack, I want you to sing me this song Love Story by Taylor Swift.”
She raised her head and saw Mr. Poisonous Tongue’s face had turned dark.
“Arya, how can singing love songs be suitable for a 31-year-old man?”
She blinked her eyes.  Is it not suitable?
“Even when I was 20 years old, I won’t ever do it.”
That is even better as this is totally done for her, so she even wants to hear him sing more.  “I had picked this song.”
“Arya, you are beyond my imagination.”  He sounded almost violent.
Is he not happy?
“You had promised just now.”
“I promised to do something that will touch you but I did not promise to sing.”
When he made his move to give in and promised just now, there were in-laid traps and the emotion she felt just now immediately shattered to pieces.
“I will not sing any song!”  He said with affirmation.
She was dejected and squeezed her small book.
Jack was silent for a moment and said.  “I will do something else for you.”
But that was not what she wanted and felt a little sad.
“I will do something else for you.”  He said and then asked again.  “Okay?”
Arya stared blankly for a while……..how could she say no?  Forcing him to sing a love song would be meaningless.  Throwing a tantrum because of this matter was unreasonable and it would make him have the feeling of antipathy.
“You’re not happy?”
She did not feel happy but she still shook her head.  She put the small book that she was squeezing in her hands back into her bag.  She raised her head to look at Jack and he was staring at her with a little caution.
She thought……he must think that she was going to make him sing a song which would be more exaggerated than his previous girlfriends’ requests for him to change the screen of his phone or put their photos in his wallet.
The good atmosphere was messed up by her.
She felt more uncomfortable in her heart.
She is really stupid.  Or, she does not have a personality.
Jack reached over and held her hands.  “I really can’t sing.”  He explained.
She nodded.  She wanted to smile at him and tell him that it did not matter.  But she found out that she was pettier than she thought she would ever be.  She opened her mouth and said.  “Today, while I was waiting for you at the hospital entrance, I suddenly thought of that song.  I hummed the song then I thought that the lyrics were particularly suitable for the situation at that time, so…..”
So, she wanted him to sing that song for her and she imagined that it was the words of love he would say to her.
She is really so stupid.
Even if he sang the song, it would not mean that he loves her more and even if he did not sing the song, it would not mean he loves her any less.  It was like, even if she did not hold his arm as they walked, it did not mean he is not her boyfriend.
As the two of them walked back to the car, Jack silently reached out to take her hand.
On the way back, while Jack was driving, Arya looked at the side of his face.  She could still feel the warmth of his big hand lingering on her hand.  Suddenly she smiled.  “Dr. Jack, let me tell you, that song’s name is love story, I will sing this song for you to listen and then you have to praise me for my talent.”
This made Jack laughed and he nodded.
Arya started to sing.
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standin' there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was cryin' on the staircase
Beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
As she sang, she thought of today when they had missed each other and then hastily rushed to meet each other.  Her mood suddenly improved a lot.
Love really makes her sad and also makes her happy.
In front was the traffic light and Jack had to stop his car.  Arya shook her head and continued to sing.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
I was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Oh, oh
Jack suddenly leaned over, pulled her face towards him and kissed her on the lips.  His dark eyes were deeply charming. 
He said.  “Arya, I really like you…..very, very much!”
