Can't Stop Thinkin' Bout You

3 years later~

"Mumma?" Three year old Chanxin wandered into the kitchen, searching for her mother.

"Yes, baby?" Tong Yao sighed, standing up from the island stool and gathering Chanxin in her arms. "What's wrong?"

Chanxin hugged her mom tightly, wrapping her hands around Tong Yao's neck. "Daddy says you are his. Go tell him you're mine."

Tong Yao smiled. "Oh really? Let's go and tell him." She walked over to the living room, seeing that Lu Sicheng and her other kid, Yuan, was learning the Chinese alphabet with his father. 

Tong Yao let Chanxin sit next to her father's whose face brightened up when he saw her. Lu Sicheng motioned to Tong Yao, asking her to sit next to him. She sat beside him, clutching his hand. "Cheng ge, you seem to be annoying Chanxin."

"What?" Lu Sicheng stated innocently. "I just stated the truth. You're mine."

Tong Yao crossed her arms over her chest. "And equally hers."

Yuan's eyes shot up. "Mumma mine too."

Tong Yao laughed, as her children hugged her. She ruffled their black hair, inherited by their father. Lu Sicheng smiled at his own family, watching the love of his life embrace their kids.

Over the years, Lu Sicheng bought them a house, near to the base. Everyday, team ZGDX would come to their house, but for practice, they would go to the base.

Tong Yao still played as the starting mid, but when she was extremely tired, her bestfriend Lu Yue would play for her. Jin Yang loved taking care of the kids, along with her son. 

Chanxin and Yuan were not identical but they did have the same hair. Yuan had his mom's black eyes and Chanxin had her dad's brown eyes. People said they looked like Lu Sicheng, but their fans thought they looked like Tong Yao. Guess it's equal then?

Nothing had changed, except that they had a tough year with diapers, binkies and feeding. Tong Yao still called her husband as Cheng ge and he still called her shorty. Lu Yue still made snarky comments to Tong Yao but Lu Sicheng's slipper was missing because the kids weren't supposed to learn that.

Old K was still the solo dancer when he was alone. Old Cat still loved working out. Little Fatty still loved his meat jerkies and God Ming still coached ZGDX. Xiao Rui was back to obeying the HR department.

Jian Yang had finally moved on, realising that Tong Yao was never meant to be his. He had started dating a sweet girl, whom Tong Yao had taken a liking to. Heirophant was still single, but was happy with his Support. Ai Jia and Jin Yang had a son and were having small arguments in between. But they still loved each other.

ZGDX had a fair share of wins an Tong Yao was a part of every single one. They had failures too. YQCB had one once and CK had one another time. But ZGDX was still winning constantly. And life is about ups and downs right?

The breeze blew gently, causing the leaves in the trees to rustle. It was a full moon night and Tong Yao was standing in their room's balcony, staring at the view.

She didn't flinch when a gentle warmth wrapped around her, closing the cool air around her. She relaxed into her husband's clutch as he wrapped his arms around her, enclosing her whole body.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Just about the night."

"It's pretty.."

"Cheng ge?"

"Mhm?"

"I love you so much."

"I love you more than you think."

She smiled and he hugged her closer, not wanting to let go. They stayed like that for awhile, embracing the love rippling in them. 

Our destiny is not written down to be exactly the way it is. It's just like a guide, that helps you approach new chances. It depends on you— whether you make the right choice or not.

If Tong Yao hadn't been dating Jian Yang, then she would have never met Lu Sicheng. If Tong Yao had not went up to Lu Sicheng that day, they probably would have never met. 

But for these two, there were endless opportunities, since theirs was a love to cherish, for eternity.

True love stories never end.

~THE END~
