They chatted for a bit before Xiao Han and Chen Zihan left the International World Trade Center Tower.
Xiao Han had already spent so much money, and Chen Zihan naturally didn't want to continue spending. Eighty thousand yuan had gone, and it was indeed painful. Not to ntion eighty thousand, even eight thousand or eight hundred yuan felt like cutting flesh to him.
"Xiao Han, there really was no need to buy those clothes." Chen Zihan still felt a bit of heartache.
"It's already bought." Xiao Han took Chen Zihan's hand and then said, "So, stop feeling bad about it."
"Ah, alright." Chen Zihan nodded, saying, "It's already bought, but... are you sure your girlfriend won't mind?"
Xiao Han turned to look at Chen Zihan, a playful look flashing in her eyes.
"What do you an by that?" Xiao Han smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you my girlfriend?"
"Hmph!" Chen Zihan snorted and then said, "I wish, but don't you have another girlfriend at Shuimu University? What am I then? Am I the third person?"
Whenever this topic ca up, Xiao Han felt an imnse sense of chaos. In fact, he felt he had wronged Chen Zihan. So, buying this piece of clothing partly felt like atonent, although it far from healed the pain in Chen Zihan's heart. He felt that was all he could do.
"I was wrong, okay?" Xiao Han said helplessly.
"Forget it, I forgive you." Chen Zihan pursed her lips and then said, "After all, it's just a girlfriend, right?"
Chen Zihan still harbored fantasies about Xiao Han, even though he wasn't as wealthy as Jiang Xiaoliang. After all, emotions were unpredictable. Chen Zihan's heart always lingered on Xiao Han, even though she was far away in the United States, she still cared deeply for him.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Han nodded.
"By the way." Chen Zihan suddenly showed a smile.
"What is it?" Xiao Han asked.
"Next sester, there seems to be a student exchange program between Harvard University and Shuimu University." Chen Zihan smiled slightly and said, "What do you think, if I switch with a student from Shuimu University, how would it be?"
"Ah?" Xiao Han was dumbfounded.
There seed to be academic exchanges between Harvard University and Shuimu University, but it had only been happening for two years. The reason why it's said that Chen Aiguo had contributed a lot to Shuimu University can be seen from this; although Shuimu University is a top dostic university and ranks among the top ten, it is not as famous as Tsinghua University and Peking University. Thus, having academic exchanges with Harvard already demonstrated the improved status of Shuimu University in China.
"What? You're not welcoming it?" Chen Zihan asked.
"No, no, no." Xiao Han shook his head and said, "You're already a Chinese student studying abroad, and now you're thinking of exchanging back to China? This... what's this about? It reminds of a joke."
"What joke?" Chen Zihan blinked.
"There was an old man from Beijing, China. Due to the severe smog in Beijing, he decided to travel to Washington, United States." Xiao Han chuckled and then said, "Just after getting off the plane, the old man saw a lottery ga on the street, he was curious and went to draw. Guess what? He actually won a grand prize. Do you know what the prize was?"
"What was it?" Chen Zihan asked back.
"A seven-day tour of Beijing, China." Xiao Han laughed heartily.
Pfft...
Upon hearing this, Chen Zihan burst out laughing so hard that she nearly couldn't straighten her back.
"This poor man is really unlucky." Chen Zihan laughed heartily and said, "Just got to the US to breathe so fresh air, but before he could settle down, he has to go back to Beijing?"
"What's the difference between that unlucky guy and you?" Xiao Han countered.
"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Chen Zihan said, "Are you indirectly criticizing ?"
"No, no, I didn't an that." Xiao Han quickly shook his head.
"I think that's exactly what you ant." Chen Zihan snorted softly and said, "Are you afraid that I'll go to Shuimu University and ss up your relationship with your girlfriend?"
"Not at all." Xiao Han waved his hands continuously.
Giggles...
Chen Zihan saw how anxious Xiao Han was and couldn't help but burst into giggling.
"Alright, you little rascal, daring to tease like this," Xiao Han, seeing her reaction, imdiately lunged at her.
Chen Zihan dashed away, feeling very proud of herself; while running, she teased Xiao Han by shouting back, "Co chase , co chase ."
Xiao Han naturally wouldn't let her go and chased after her. However, Xiao Han didn't make a real effort and kept a close but deliberate distance. The chases between lovers were not battles between enemies. There had to be a certain romantic tone among lovers, and Xiao Han maintained that tone deliberately.
The two of them played around like this in the streets, chasing and play-fighting, catching up with each other.
Soon, Xiao Han caught up, then pulled Chen Zihan into his embrace. Pretending to be fierce, he said, "Didn't you want to catch up with you? Now that I have, why don't you run? Why aren't you running now?"
"Hehe…" Chen Zihan giggled, her eyes shyly looking at Xiao Han, filled with affection and touching charm.
Xiao Han almost lted under her gaze; he took a deep breath, then couldn't help but lean down and kiss her. He gently kissed her cool red lips. Behind her cool lips seed to carry a hint of iciness. Xiao Han's tongue easily pried open Chen Zihan's lips, then audaciously breached her teeth and plunged deep, touching gracefully.
All the while, Chen Zihan didn't resist at all but instead cooperated fully with Xiao Han. As Xiao Han's tongue touched Chen Zihan's lips, she had already opened her mouth; when his tongue touched her teeth, Chen Zihan had already relaxed her jaw.
They kissed effortlessly.
A smile lifted the corners of Xiao Han's mouth; his heart felt like it was bursting with joy. They kissed passionately in the street, and Chen Zihan didn't refuse Xiao Han's kiss because of the location. Chen Zihan, having absorbed so Western culture, maintained an open attitude about public displays of affection. Had it been the old Chen Zihan, she might have felt embarrassed about kissing at a street corner, but now, she didn't feel that way at all. Instead, she kept holding Xiao Han's neck, and they kissed passionately.
Their kiss lasted long, as if it could last forever, as if it would last till the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled.
It continued until Chen Zihan nearly suffocated, and she quickly pushed Xiao Han away.
"Xiao Han, you jerk, are you trying to suffocate ?" Chen Zihan's cheeks were flushed, her shyness mixed with a hint of anger as she chided, "Can't you let breathe for a mont?"
"I wish I could kiss you twenty-four hours a day," Xiao Han said through gritted teeth.
"Really?" Chen Zihan asked, more pleased than angry, and then smiled, "You're not lying to ?"
"Of course not," Xiao Han quickly shook his head, then said, "How could I possibly lie to you?"
"Then tell , who do you like more, or your current girlfriend?" Chen Zihan suddenly threw a curveball. This question made Xiao Han's brain freeze instantly, and he stared at Chen Zihan helplessly.
Actually, it was a difficult question to answer. If Xiao Han said he liked Chen Zihan, then she would want to be with him since being with soone you love ans true love. However, if Xiao Han said he liked Lan Yudie, Chen Zihan would probably be heartbroken and devastated. Knowing Chen Zihan's personality, she would likely just turn around and leave. So, no matter how Xiao Han answered, he was in a no-win situation.
"I…" Xiao Han stamred.
"Co on, say it," Chen Zihan urged, staring at him intently.
"I…" Xiao Han hesitated for a long ti, then finally looked innocently at Chen Zihan and said, "Can I say I like both?"
"Do you think you're Xin Qing?" Chen Zihan looked at Xiao Han disdainfully.
"Then tell , how should I answer your question?" Xiao Han looked at her innocently. He was genuinely at a loss, as this kind of question was very difficult to decide.
"Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you," Chen Zihan shook her head, then turned and walked away.
"Are you angry?" Xiao Han quickly followed her and grabbed her arm.
"I'm not angry," Chen Zihan shook her head.
"Then why are you walking away?" Xiao Han asked hastily.
"I'm just a bit sad," Chen Zihan sighed, then said, "Once you were my man, and now you've beco soone else's. I know my question put you in a very tough spot, and actually, there is no right answer in my heart either. So in a way, your answer was perfect. It won't make angry nor will it make sad."
Hearing Chen Zihan's words, Xiao Han felt sowhat heartbroken.
Chen Zihan was his first love, so his feelings for her were genuine. Because she was his first love, he had loved her deeply. So much so that after Chen Zihan left, Xiao Han, at the exam of his life, penned an essay in his own blood and tears. He hadn't intended to score highly. Unexpectedly, he scored high, which was completely unforeseen because in such an essay, ntioning romantic feelings was absolutely prohibited. Even a slight ntion could lead to a score of zero. At the ti, Xiao Han really took a huge risk. Fortunately, the examiners recognized the value in Xiao Han's tearful article and didn't bury it.
"Zihan, I'm sorry," Xiao Han looked at her earnestly, saying, "I really didn't expect things to turn out this way between us, I... I'm sorry."
