"Come in."
I pushed the door open. Han Hao turned around and saw me. He stood up and walked towards me. He touched my forehead with his hand. "How are you? Are you feeling better? Thank goodness you don't have a fever. When I brought you back, your face was very hot. Thank goodness you didn't catch a cold. "
Han Hao's hand was very warm. I didn't shake off his hand. "Oh, I'm fine."
"Li Er, this is Han Hao. His father is my friend. Although they live in Kurosawa, they can be considered old friends of mine. You don't have to be so hostile. Besides, Hao Er helped you before." My father sensed my doubts. It turned out that while I was asleep, Han Hao had already told my father everything that had happened at Shallow Bar.
"Uncle Leng, you're joking. This is what I should do. Aiya, it's getting late. I should go back." Han Hao glanced at his watch and turned to look at me. "How about I ask Xiao Li to walk me to the door?"
"Okay, okay. When you have time, you must bring your parents over to play." Han Hao smiled and nodded. Then, he pulled me out.
The night wind was still a little cold. I couldn't help but pull on my jacket. Han Hao walked silently beside me. I looked at him sideways. I didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or the effect of the moonlight, but I suddenly felt that Han Hao's delicate face was very beautiful. Han Hao suddenly turned his head. When he saw my infatuated expression, I immediately turned my head away.
"What are you looking at?" Han Hao asked with a smile.
"The moon is really beautiful today." I randomly made up an excuse.
"That's true. Yuanyuan."
I suddenly stopped and handed his jacket to him. "This is your jacket. Thank you for helping me out. Also, thank you for taking me home."
He took the jacket and looked at it. He lowered his head to look at me and said, "Miss Leng, this jacket reeks of your alcohol. Don't you plan to wash it and then return it to me?"
My face started to burn when I heard what he said. I reached out to grab my clothes back, but I hadn't expected him to be so strong. The inertia from the rebound made me fall into his arms. In an instant, I felt the air around us freeze. I leaned against Han Hao's chest quietly. I could feel his heartbeat. It was slow but strong. I could smell the faint fragrance of his body. Han Hao didn't push me away. We just stood there, leaning against each other. A gust of wind blew past and I subconsciously leaned into his embrace. Han Hao supported my head with one hand and hugged my waist tightly with the other. He stroked my long hair lovingly. I lifted my head from his embrace and looked into his clear eyes. I saw my own reflection in his eyes. At that moment, I suddenly felt that I might have feelings for him.
He held my face in his hands and looked into my eyes. I didn't know what he was thinking. His face slowly moved closer to me. I gradually felt his breath. He's not going to kiss me, is he? My heart was in a mess, but I didn't push him away. His face was getting closer and closer. I closed my eyes. Just then, Han Hao suddenly pushed me away and turned to the other side. I opened my eyes and looked at his back.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Li. I didn't do it on purpose." Han Hao's back was still facing me. He didn't turn around.
"It's nothing." I felt strangely disappointed. I didn't even know why I was disappointed.
Han Hao suddenly turned around and hugged me tightly. Before I could react, his lips were deeply pressed against mine. The wind blew quietly. I couldn't hear any sound. He stopped and held my face. His eyes were full of love. I felt that he had a lot to say to me. However, he didn't say a word. He turned around and disappeared at the end of the street.
Time flies. Ever since that day, I haven't seen Han Hao again. Duanmu's family had set the wedding date for a month later, in late summer and early autumn. The whole family was nervously and orderly preparing for the wedding. I was very calm about this marriage that I didn't have any expectations for. Duanmu Que and I's wedding photo shoot went smoothly. Maybe it was because of what happened at the bar. He seemed to be like me. He didn't resist this marriage contract that he couldn't resist. He chose to let nature take its course. Or maybe he was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to change everything. Every time I walked past the corner of the stairs, I could see Duanmu Que and my wedding photo. That stiff style and that unnatural smile were particularly dazzling.
When I was alone at night, I would quietly look at Han Hao's business card. I would recall that night, his kiss, his taste, and his eyes. If there was really love at first sight in this world, then I would definitely admit that the person I liked was him. Sometimes I would think how great it would be if Han Hao and Duanmu Que swapped identities. At the very least, I could marry someone I liked, and not someone who shared a bed with a different dream because of any conflict of interest. I put Han Hao's business card at the bottom of my jewelry box. For the sake of Red Minghui, for my father, I decided to bury this feeling deep in my heart.
The day of my wedding with Duanmu Que had finally arrived. My father and some of the seniors of Red Minghui were receiving guests in the living room. I got up early to freshen up and put on my white wedding dress. My mother carefully tidied my hair. I suddenly felt that she had aged a lot overnight. I looked at myself in the mirror. They say that women are most beautiful on their wedding day. Who wouldn't want to show their most beautiful side to the person they love, and not to their enemies? My mother stroked my hair. "Li Er is finally getting married today." Her eyes were filled with tears.
"Mom, I will be fine." I held my mother's hand and comforted her. She was probably the person who didn't want me to marry.
At this time, Auntie Wang stood at the door and knocked. "Madam, Miss, Duanmu Que's family is here to pick you up."
My mother looked at me and patted my shoulder. "I will go down and greet them. You can come down when you are ready." She turned and left with Auntie Wang.
I was the only one left in the room. I took out Han Hao's business card from the jewelry box and gently stroked his name. I really hoped to see him one more time before I went to Duanmu Que's house. Even though I had his business card and his contact information, I didn't have the courage to call him. I also didn't know what to say if I called him. Helplessly, I put the business card back. I opened the door and walked out. I chose to endure everything that was about to happen.
I walked to the top of the stairs and looked down. The large living room was already filled with people. In the middle of the crowd, I saw Duanmu Que. He was holding a bouquet of roses in his hand. He was wearing a pure black suit that highlighted his figure. With his trademark facial features, he smiled and chatted with the people around him. Looking at it this way, Duanmu Que's sunny side was still very handsome. If he wasn't so bad, he should be someone worth relying on.
