The next morning, Gui Gui and Aaron decided that they should spare at least a day for just the two of them to go on a special date.
Walking down the path away from their homes and with her hand held tightly in his, Gui Gui gradually stopped in her track. She turned to face Aaron.
He wondered, "What's wrong?"
Lips curving into a serene smile, Gui Gui shook her head lightly, "Nothing big...Just...this..." She took out that infamous permanent bright yellow marker from her skirt pocket.
"It's the one..." Aaron recognised it all so clear.
Flashback...
Gui Gui pressed the bell a few more times but was offered no response. Biting her lip with impatience, she scorned, "I knew it! Causing me a fall and now I have to wait under this extremely chilly weather just so you would answer this door! Alright, now you asked for it!"
She got down on her knees and grabbed out a piece of permanent marker from her pocket. Grinning mischievously, she drew on his sneakers while imagining his pitiful reaction, "Let's make it a bright yellow sun against a white and blue background. Ha!"
...
The next morning, Aaron was about to leave home for school when he realised what was done to his sneakers. Purely surprised at first, he then began to wonder if his eyes were playing tricks on him. With no other choice but a pair of flip-flops, he was somewhat angered over what happened and decided to get thick plain white adhesive tape from possibly a close-by stationery shop to cover up the misdeeds of some mysterious being roaming about.
He set off with uneasy emotions as each time a look down at his funny shoes made him wanted to avoid all passers-by along the way. This kind of attitude just caused him more difficulty in finding any life-saving shop that he could manage to spot.
End of Flashback...
Next moment, Gui Gui got down and drew that same eye-catching grinning sun on her own pair of sneakers which she was wearing. When she's done, she looked up at him, "There, now I'm making it fair for both of us right?"
Aaron pondered and then stooped down to her eye level, "I think that's not quite enough..."
"Huh?" Gui Gui was astounded. "Oh, Aaron...you're gonna punish this pitiful girl even more?" She wailed.
He smiled and offered his hand to help her up on her feet again, "Can I have it?"
Gui Gui was much more confused by now. Aaron then hinted for her to pass him the marker.
When she did, it appeared that her heart was pounding over what he was going to do with it.
Then, it turned out that he proceeded to draw a many times bigger smiley sun on his plain t-shirt.
"Oh," Gui Gui gasped with concern. "Aaron, you're gonna spoil your shirt!"
He simply took her hand, "It's just the opposite, Gui Gui...It brightens up my life instead..."
Looking at him with an expression that spoke of how deeply she was touched by his words and actions, Gui Gui simply hugged him close and he did the same.
