Chapter 129

~11 min read 2,056 words

Walking through the living room, Yang Yingwen walked straight into the bedroom and slapping sounds said to Xiao Han, who was still sleeping with her head covered:

"Stop pretending to sleep, who are you pretending for?"

After a short while, Xiao Han pulled the quilt down, poked her head out, glanced at the door, and asked cautiously: "He didn't look for me?"

Yang Yingwen found it funny, stuffed the note in her palm directly to her, and then turned to close the bedroom door.

Holding the note, she looked at it for two seconds, then opened it impatiently. There wasn't much content on the paper, just one sentence.

But after reading it, Xiao Han stood there stunned.

It read: Don't sleep in, let's go on a date.

Seeing her best friend stunned, as if she had been cast a spell by a wizard, Yang Yingwen reached out and waved in front of her: "Hey, wake up, if you keep doing this, you'll be drooling."

"It's not that exaggerated." Her eyelids jumped with her hand. Coming back to her senses, Xiao Han smiled sweetly, carefully put the note away, and then got out of bed like the wind, opened the wardrobe, and began to rummage for clothes, starting to comb her hair and dress up.

Seeing her best friend's completely different appearance, Yang Yingwen couldn't help but mock: "What kind of tricks did he play on you?

So effective?

How come I feel like your heart has already flown away?"

Xiao Han curled her lips slightly, thinking to herself that I'm going to see honey. It's the first time he said he wanted to go on a date with me. Hi! So ambiguous! It's really killing me, what clothes should I wear?

After carefully selecting and matching, she turned and asked Yang Yingwen: "How is it?"

Beautiful hair lazily falling on her shoulders and chest, emitting a soft light like silk, a sky-blue casual top, black straight-leg cropped pants, simple but not lacking in beauty, like a lotus flower rising from the water, outstanding and graceful.

"... Is it okay?" Seeing her best friend staring straight at her, Xiao Han tilted her head and asked seriously and slightly shyly.

Yang Yingwen shook her head.

Xiao Han looked at the other party in confusion.

Yang Yingwen sighed from her heart: "Having a good foundation means you can do whatever you want. You're already stunning enough when you're plain, and with just a little dressing up, I'm afraid he won't have any self-control. Remember to protect yourself."

Hearing this, Xiao Han came to the mirror, looked at herself like a peony in full bloom, and pretended to be resentful:

"Oh my, I don't want to be like this either, it's just that my capital is too sufficient, not allowing me to be mediocre."

Yang Yingwen, who was already envious, wanted to hit someone when she heard this, and immediately urged:

"You two are a perfect match, both love to show off in front of me, so annoying! Hurry up and go, he's been waiting outside for a long time."

Xiao Han didn't speak anymore, picked up her bag, and quietly left the bedroom, running straight to the door.

Just as the two girls opened the door and were about to slip away, a voice behind them called them: "Hanhan, Yingwen, where are you two going?"

Xiao Han secretly winked at Yang Yingwen, and the latter immediately turned around and said: "Auntie, today is market day, Xiao Han and I are going to the market to stroll around."

Wei Shiman looked up and glanced at the wall clock: "It's still early, eat breakfast before you go, I'm already cooking, it'll be ready soon."

Xiao Han said: "Mom, we made an appointment with Xiao Feng to meet at 8 o'clock, and eat wontons together."

Hearing that she had an appointment with a friend, Wei Shiman didn't think much of it, after all, Xiao Feng was also a girl she liked quite a bit: "Then go, remember to watch out for pickpockets, do you have enough money on you?"

Xiao Han patted her bag lightly, said "I have it," and left the house at high speed.

Yang Yingwen said politely: "Auntie, we're leaving."

"Okay."

Wei Shiman nodded, followed them to the corridor, and watched them pass through the reception room below.

Arriving on the street outside, Yang Yingwen, who had been holding back from speaking, asked: "Li Heng just appeared, and we didn't even eat breakfast. Aren't you afraid your mom will be suspicious?"

Xiao Han said confidently: "No."

Yang Yingwen asked: "Why?"

Xiao Han smiled slightly: "Mom trusts me more than she trusts herself."

"You! Really!"

Yang Yingwen had always been puzzled: "You are clearly a cold and self-possessed person, with the words 'strangers keep away' hanging on your face all year round, yet you fell into Li Heng's hands. I don't know what kind of love potion he fed you."

Xiao Han tightened her grip on her bag, sighed secretly, sweet and helpless: This is one thing subduing another, it's natural.

Then she thought to herself:

Am I being too concerned?

Why did I cooperate with him as soon as he proposed a date, even lying to my own mother? Will I be laughed at by him?

Her hands were intertwined nervously and excitedly. Thinking of him running to Beijing without stopping after the college entrance exam, she felt her outfit was ridiculous.

She didn't dress up deliberately in the past, and certainly wouldn't be anxious about which clothes to wear. Today, she carefully matched them. Although she didn't wear any makeup, she was already very different from usual.

Even though she was worried about him having Chen Zi Jin and Song Yu in his heart, her caution and panic when choosing clothes just now were a true revelation of her feelings. No matter how much she told herself to be calm, there was no way. After all, she was just a young girl who had been waiting for love for many years.

Leaving the town government compound and walking about 150 meters toward the bus station, the two girls saw Li Heng under a street lamp at a corner.

Yang Yingwen asked: "His target is you, do you want me to avoid him?"

Xiao Han said unpromisingly: "I'm a bit nervous."

Yang Yingwen asked in confusion: "You like him so much, and he rarely takes the initiative, why are you nervous?"

Xiao Han said pitifully: "I don't know."

"I really owe you two, let's go!" Yang Yingwen had no choice but to follow her toward someone.

Xiao Han walked to Li Heng as calmly as she could, looked up and smiled: "Mr. Li, long time no see, you've changed a lot."

"Whoa, it's only been a month, have I changed that much?" Li Heng looked down at himself.

Xiao Han praised with good reason: "As expected of someone who has been to Beijing, you radiate a masculine spirit all over."

Hearing this sarcastic remark, Li Heng understood instantly, turned his head, and said to Yang Yingwen with a sinister air: "Old Mabu, snitching behind someone's back is a villainous act!"

Yang Yingwen raised her head and countered: "Daring to act and daring to take responsibility, I just didn't want Xiao Han to be deceived by you, so I told the truth. What? Do you want to run a one-man show?"

Li Heng was furious and rolled his eyes: "I went to Beijing to find a doctor for my dad, I went to Gansu, I went to Sichuan and the Yongzhou Liu Hou Shrine, did you say that?

I've been collecting material for creation along the way, writing a new novel, did you say that?

I didn't even go to Peking University in order to go to Shanghai with Xiao Han, did you say that?"

Li Heng felt a bit guilty when he said the last sentence.

But only a little bit.

After all, this was half the truth. If it weren't for Xiao Han, even if he didn't get into Peking University, he would have had an absolute chance to go.

"You...!"

Yang Yingwen didn't say the "shameless" after "you," because she knew these were facts. He had even invited her to go on a trip for his new novel this morning.

Seeing Li Heng staring at her like a fierce tiger, Yang Yingwen finally didn't go against her heart and said to Xiao Han: "What he just said is a fact, I'll tell you in detail later."

"Hmph hmph!"

Li Heng snorted and said: "I'll point out a clear path for someone, the dim-witted one is at the wonton shop."

After saying that, regardless of the occasion, he grabbed Xiao Han's hand and led her away.

"Mr. Li, where are we going?"

"Follow me."

"Not going to the wonton shop to eat breakfast with them?"

"We don't need light bulbs for our date!"

Seeing him looking at her shamelessly, Xiao Han's ears burned, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "I'll listen to you."

Li Heng looked at her for a while and frowned: "Not bad, you know you did something wrong."

"No way?" She argued with a burden.

Li Heng said mercilessly: "Just now you were being sarcastic to stir up conflict between me and Yang Yingwen, wasn't it just to hear me explain? Explain why I went to Beijing for summer vacation? Why I didn't come back for a month?"

Seeing her little thoughts being torn apart, Xiao Han was speechless, just saying crisply: "In books, asking someone on a date isn't this arrogant attitude."

Li Heng was stunned, looked her over, and said: "You're beautiful today."

Xiao Han didn't humble herself, looked up and smiled: "I know, if I weren't beautiful, you wouldn't have appeared here today."

Hearing this, Li Heng poked his head out and looked at her straight, looked at her left and right, looked at her up and down.

He looked until her face, neck, and body turned red, looked until she was completely uncomfortable, looked until she was flustered and at a loss, and then leisurely opened his mouth:

"I have a blue outfit at home too. If I had known you were wearing blue, I would have worn it over. It would have made a perfect couple's outfit."

Always attacking my heart, Xiao Han wanted to secretly complain, but as soon as this thought arose, she laughed first, pulled his hand forward, and said: "Let's go."

Walking side by side for a while, Li Heng asked carefully: "Not angry anymore?"

Xiao Han knew what he was referring to, and asked happily: "Do you hope I'm angry?

Or is your heart not open?

You forgot about me for so long, and today you came to coax me?"

Li Heng asked back: "What we have surpasses everything, do we need to coax?"

Xiao Han turned her head awkwardly and continued to walk forward, her eyes and corners of her mouth hanging with honey. She didn't know why she was so happy, walking step by step with extreme seriousness, as if every step she took could bloom a bright red azalea under her feet.

When they walked to a crowded area holding hands, she suddenly pulled her hand away without a trace, and then turned into a small alley.

Li Heng asked: "Do people here know you?"

Xiao Han gave a slight "mm": "My mom often comes here to play."

Li Heng asked again: "Am I that unpresentable? You don't dare to hold hands, and you walk this dark, pitch-black path, afraid of being heard by her?"

Xiao Han pursed her lips and smiled, not answering.

Li Heng half-turned, looking openly at her slightly red face and spiritual eyes, and said by some strange coincidence:

"Xiao Han, if your mom knew we were like this, would she take a kitchen knife and kill us?"

The wind brushed past her ears, and a few strands of hair swept across her cheeks, making them itch. Xiao Han bit her lower lip tightly: "Like what?"

Seeing no one at the front and back exits of the alley, Li Heng quickly leaned over and kissed her cheek: "Like this."
