How would a teenager act when he or she was in love?
A teenager’s love for another would be as sparkling little snowflakes falling in the winter, as pure as a gentle breeze on a hot day, and as sweet as the first dew on top of a mountain. Once a teenager had a glimpse into this new world, he or she would be restless at night, unable to stop thinking of the person he or she loved. Their hearts would pound rapidly whenever they see their crush and they would be too shy to approach their crush.
Whenever they recalled their crush, their heart would feel warm and sweet like honey.
She immersed herself into that feeling and pretended as if the man sitting across from her was the man she liked.
Huo Wu’s clean and clear apricot eyes reflected the profile of the handsome and tall man in front of her.
There was a mix of emotions: shy, nervous, hopeful, and full of joy.
She unconsciously fiddled with the hem of her dress, twisting them into strange shapes nervously. She timidly blinked her big eyes at him and finally summoned up the courage to confess, “Do you know that I like you? I like you so much! I like you more than I like myself!”
Her love was pure and fierce, like a blazing red flame; her sincerity and eagerness seemed to be able to purify everything in this world. However, her bold and unique personality was something that only teenagers possess.
Huo Yusen’s gaze flicked over to Huo Wu’s face. Her face was extremely delicate, and her skin was as soft and white as snow. Huo Wu’s eyes were clean and pure like the first snowfall of winter. For the first time in his life, Huo Yusen was uncertain about how he should face Huo Wu.
The emotions stirring beneath Huo Wu’s eyes looked so genuine that he almost forgot that they were merely acting out a “confession scene”, that this was not a real confession.
Huo Wu’s eyes darkened when she noticed that she didn’t receive the response from Huo Yusen that she wanted. So, she gathered all her courage and straightened her back, then, as quick as lightning, she gave a light peck on Huo Yusen’s face.
The peck was like a dragonfly landing on top of a lake.
Even though the dragonfly only landed on top of the water for a few seconds, it will still leave behind small ripples on the lake.
His face was warm and soft. Huo Wu subconsciously pursed her lips after she pecked his cheek.
Fu Yining was casually watching Huo Wu’s performance. He didn’t have high expectations for her because to him, Huo Wu was just a spoiled little princess from a wealthy background.
He had heard of Huo Wu’s attitude and actions from his friends before. From those rumors, he deduced that Huo Wu was an arrogant and spoiled brat who lived an indulgent life solely due to her father and brother’s hard work. She was an incompetent little girl who couldn’t survive on herself.
But as her performance progressed, the emotion underneath his eyes gradually changed. The young lady in front of him had surprised him. He originally thought that she was a spoiled brat who merely dreamed of becoming an actress; however, after seeing just a brief part of her performance, he realized that she was clever and full of potential.
Her performance was too vivid and realistic. She performed her role as a young high school girl who had finally summoned up the courage to confess to her crush perfectly. The joy, the fearlessness, and the enthusiasm beneath her eyes appeared so genuine that even Fu Yining’s heart began to stir while he watched her perform.
Huo Wu’s acting brought him back to the time he was still an innocent young man in high school.
When high school students fall in love, they would try to mask their feelings, hoping that no one would notice that they have a crush on someone else. In this world, it was impossible to keep two things hidden: coughing and your emotions. If you love someone to the extreme, then it will be impossible to hide it from others. Since you couldn’t hide your emotions, then the one choice you will have was to confess.
《Throbbing》was a beautiful love story about four high school students’ first love. A youth’s first love was like a pure and flawless jasmine flower.
