Instead of retrieving her things from her own private room, she sent a ssage to the people who had not yet left, telling them to leave her coat at the front desk on the first floor. Then she helped Han Zhijin on his way to the room he regularly stayed at in Golden Splendor.
After strenuously getting Han Zhijin to the side of the bed and lifting him onto it, Song Youman sat down at the edge of the bed, panting for breath. After catching her breath for a while, she reached out for the phone on the bedside table, planning to order a bowl of sobering soup.
However, before she could even dial the number, Han Zhijin on the bed suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulling her down onto the bed.
"Han Zhijin, what are you doing?!"
Song Youman yelled out, about to grab a pillow to smack Han Zhijin with, but Han Zhijin suddenly rolled over, pinning her beneath him.
The look in his eyes was different from the usual, a fervor mixed with raging flas.
Song Youman was taken aback by his gaze, her hand frozen mid-reach for the pillow.
Just as his lips were about to et hers, Song Youman unconsciously uttered, "Han Zhijin..."
Han Zhijin’s actions paused for a mont, and after a while, he finally spoke in a delayed manner, "Manman..."
He usually called her Song Youman... This was the first ti he called her Manman...
Song Youman was stunned.
...
Han Jingnian hadn’t slept for long before he woke up.
The darkness he saw imdiately made his heart pound with unease.
However, before his usual fear of the dark could take hold, he realized he was in a soft, warm embrace.
It was her... As this realization passed through his mind, his heart miraculously cald down.
"Goodnight?"
He called out her na, and when she didn’t respond, he reached out to touch her face, confirming she was asleep. Only then did he sit up with relief, pulling her into his arms and adjusting to a comfortable position.
Though he couldn’t see anything, he still stared unwaveringly at where her face would be.
The pitch-black room was very quiet. Listening to her breathing, he kept telling himself, she is here, you don’t have to be afraid.
This was the first ti in many years that he had been able to resist panicking, trembling, or even fainting in the dark.
An exception?
It seed like... she has always been his exception.
In their two years of marriage, her impression on him was of quietness and cleanliness. Beyond that, he couldn’t think of a third impression.
When did he start noticing her? Was it the ti when there was a power outage at the company and she saved him? Or when she accompanied him as his female partner and he saw the wound on her back? Or perhaps even earlier... the ti when he ran into her at the party organized by Han Zhijin, when he heard her tell a woman beside her that she didn’t know him...
The year his father passed away, he accidentally heard so housekeepers say that he was a jinx; his arrival caused the death of his mother, his older brother, and his father.
