Hiding My Affection in My Left Ear

《Hiding My Affection in My Left Ear》 Chen Yu'an had a secret: whenever he walked beside Xu Zhixia, he would subtly slow his pace. Because she always liked to walk close to him, their shoulders occasionally brushing. If he sped up even a little, she would fall back to her original distance. One day, Zhixia suddenly asked, "Do you walk really slowly?" Yu'an guiltily denied it. She didn't call him out, just shared one side of her earphones with him, playing the song they listened to on their first date. Later, they started dating. Whenever they took a car or went for a walk, Zhixia would always put an earphone in his left ear and wear the other one herself. Yu'an had always thought it was just her habit. Until his birthday, when she gave him a new pair of earphones, smiling and saying, "You won't have to share one anymore." He, however, carefully put the earphones away and took out a handwritten card. "But I like sharing one with you." Zhixia blushed and asked, "Why?" "Because every time you lean in, I can pretend I just want to hear a little better." She smiled and leaned her shoulder against his. "Then you don't have to pretend anymore." On the way home that day, Yu'an still walked slowly. But this time, Zhixia took his hand first. <When you like someone, you even wish that walking a little slower could make the path a little longer.>
