Xia Wan’an couldn’t help but mutter, "Han Jingnian, surely you got zero marks in Chinese reading comprehension, right?"
After a thoughtful pause, Han Jingnian replied, "Aside from the third-year middle school test where I made a spelling error on a comprehension question and lost one point, I have always aced all the other Chinese exams’ reading comprehension section."
Xia Wan’an: "..."
If he was considered a straightforward man, it was progressively worsening!
Xia Wan’an teasingly retorted, "Well, aren’t you impressive!"
Han Jingnian stared at Xia Wan’an for a few seconds. The hint of a smile in his eyes dignified, "You flatter ."
Xia Wan’an: "......"
She had a sudden premonition that she must have lost her sanity to be chatting with such a candid man.
"I was the best in Math as well. I never scored anything less than a perfect score."
Xia Wan’an: "......"
It was not just loss of sanity, actually, it was the extre loss of sanity that kept her engaged with this straight shooter!
"My English is also pretty good..."
Before Han Jingnian finished speaking, Xia Wan’an handed him his bowl of sweet soup, "Sip your soup."
...
Since the supper is near Han Jingnian’s forr apartnt, currently owned by Xia Wan’an, Zhang Te first drops off Xia Wan’an and Han Jingnian at ho before driving Han Yixiao back to the Han family’s old house.
When they got ho, Xia Wan’an spent so ti with her little mirror, and then she hustled to the bathroom to remove her makeup and shower.
After a flurry of events tonight, her mind and body were exhausted. As she exited the bathroom and flopped down onto the bed, she didn’t want to budge.
Perhaps because the evening was so eventful, she was unable to fall asleep.
As Han Jingnian entered the shower after her, she listened to the sound of the running water inside. As she was thinking about everything that had transpired tonight, her emotions uncontrollably surged when she thought about what Zhang Te had told her at the supper store.
It turned out that when Chi Mu publicized those videos of her, he seed emotionally unaffected, making her unsure whether he believed her or not. anwhile, he had quietly arranged for Zhang Te to interrogate the two from the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong...
She could comprehend his disbelief of the second video, in which he was present. Yet, for the first video, even knowing the truth as an involved party, she felt sowhat nervous at seeing He Che knocking on her door late in the night...
Given the ti fra of the flight from Hong Kong to Beijing, Han Jingnian didn’t give himself much ti to hesitate and made a decision promptly... was it because he... trusted her?
Furthermore, she did not know that the incident at her suburban villa was related to Chi Mu. If Zhang Te hadn’t brought it up tonight, she would never have known that Han Jingnian had done such a thing to Chi Mu for her... was he trying to help her give an eye for an eye?
The more Xia Wan’an thought about it, the stronger the emotions that rose in her heart.
"Why aren’t you asleep yet?" Han Jingnian, having showered and walked to the bedside, couldn’t help but ask Xia Wan’an, who is lying on the bed with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling.
Xia Wan’an hesitated for a mont before turning her head to glance at the reclining Han Jingnian, "I’m going to sleep soon."
"Mm..." With this solitary response, Han Jingnian picked up the remote control and switched off the bedroom light.
The room suddenly settled into a quiet lull. Xia Wan’an periodically turned her head to sneak peeks at Han Jingnian. Finally, unable to resist the urge, she cleared her throat and uttered, "Han Jingnian?"
