Su Hao stood outside the door, scratching his head helplessly.
He remembered that when he took Jiang Yuhan home, she was wearing a black T-shirt. How did it change to white in just a few hours, and she coincidentally forgot to wear anything underneath?
The white was also somewhat transparent, which led to the tragedy just now.
She probably changed clothes while half-asleep. Turning around and leaning against the nearby wall, Su Hao deduced the truth.
But it really was quite beautiful. Recalling the scene just now, Su Hao couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, and as he thought, a nameless fire rose in his heart.
Summer has arrived; it's indeed easy to get inflamed. Should I go find Lin Jiayu? Let her help me cool down.
Thinking of this, Su Hao greeted Jiang Yuhan and quickly left.
Su Hao left? That's right, he must think I'm a pervert, so it's normal for him to leave.
Inside the room, hearing Su Hao leave, Jiang Yuhan sighed and plopped heavily onto the bed, burying her head in the pillow like an ostrich.
Now I'm really doomed. What will Su Hao think of me? My image is completely ruined.
Clutching the pillow, recalling the scene just now, Jiang Yuhan was on the verge of tears, wishing she could find a piece of tofu to smash her head against and die.
No, it shouldn't matter what he thinks of me, right? Anyway, we're just ordinary friends.
Jiang Yuhan tried to comfort herself this way, but soon covered her face.
Even as ordinary friends, it's still very perverted. Last time, I suddenly kissed him forcefully during a play, and this time I acted crazy while drunk in front of him, and even let him see my…
Lowering her head and looking at her chest, Jiang Yuhan remembered Su Hao's gaze just now, and her face turned crimson as blood.
Ah ah ah ah ah… I'm really a crazy woman!
Jiang Yuhan wailed and rolled around on the bed until her head hit the headboard, forcing her to stop.
Now there's only one way to save my image!
Looking at the light above her head, Jiang Yuhan narrowed her eyes.
As long as I pretend nothing happened and act naturally, everything should be fine, right?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuhan flipped off the bed, quickly changed her clothes, and at the same time, called Su Hao.
...
Inviting me for a late-night snack? But right now, I only want to eat Lin Jiayu.
Downstairs, Su Hao hung up the phone and sighed helplessly.
If he had known Jiang Yuhan would call him, he would have run faster just now.
"Sorry, you must have been waiting anxiously, right?" Su Hao didn't wait too long; Jiang Yuhan ran out from the stairwell.
Perhaps because of what happened earlier, she had changed back into a black T-shirt and also wore a light gray hoodie.
"I didn't wait too long," Su Hao shook his head, "Why is Vice President suddenly inviting me for a late-night snack?"
"Because I'm a bit sorry about what happened this afternoon, and I wanted to treat you to a meal as compensation," Jiang Yuhan said, blushing and lowering her head, completely avoiding the subject of what just happened.
"Alright, then I'll gratefully accept. It's a good chance to try out my new ride!"
"Gratefully accept what?" Before Jiang Yuhan could understand Su Hao's words, she saw him run to the nearby bike shed and push out a blue bicycle.
"Did you just buy this?" Looking at the brand new bicycle, Jiang Yuhan walked over curiously and touched it.
"Yeah, energy-saving travel, low-carbon and environmentally friendly," Su Hao patted the back seat. "Vice President, do you want to try it? You're its first passenger."
"First?" When Jiang Yuhan heard this, her heart suddenly started to pound.
Was he hinting at something?
Looking at Su Hao's expectant face, Jiang Yuhan hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently.
"You agreed? Then let's go! Where should we eat?" Su Hao was overjoyed and straddled the bicycle seat.
"Let's go to… a hotpot restaurant nearby… it's at…" Jiang Yuhan instinctively gave the address, but her mind was a mess.
Su Hao looked so happy when I agreed to ride with him. Does that mean his invitation to ride was actually a confession?
Did my agreement to ride mean I accepted his confession?
Thinking this, Jiang Yuhan mustered her courage and poked Su Hao's back.
"Su Hao, do you have a girlfriend right now?"
"A girlfriend? No." Su Hao finished speaking, then added in his mind: I only have a wife.
"Then if you met someone you liked, how would you confess to her? You're Chinese, so you'd probably be very subtle, right?"
Seeing that Su Hao didn't have a girlfriend, Jiang Yuhan suddenly remembered Su Hao once said he liked girls with blonde hair, so her face turned even redder as she asked indirectly.
"No, if I met someone I liked, I'd just confess directly to her." Su Hao's answer stunned Jiang Yuhan.
"So, you wouldn't hint at your feelings to someone you like." After recovering, Jiang Yuhan wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
It turned out everything just now was her own wishful thinking; Su Hao's invitation to ride had no other meaning at all.
"Of course not, hinting is too troublesome. I've watched many TV shows before, and they often design plots where people miss out on a lifetime because of hinting.
For example, the female lead likes the male lead, so she gives him a small bottle full of paper cranes. The male lead naturally treasures it, but countless years later, he breaks the bottle and finds that every paper crane is filled with 'I love you.'
Don't you think that's ridiculous? Who's so bored they'd unfold paper cranes? With the effort of folding paper cranes, the female lead might as well just say 'I love you,' and maybe that very night they'd be checking into a hotel, and a few years later their child would be swinging with a little girl in kindergarten."
Su Hao pedaled the bicycle, his mouth chattering non-stop, heavily criticizing the melodramatic plots in some literary works of his previous life.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yuhan in the back seat was busy figuring out how to crawl into a hole, so Su Hao's words went in one ear and out the other.
"Vice President, Vice President? Are you listening to me?" Su Hao had been talking for a long time, his throat was a little dry, but he found that Jiang Yuhan hadn't even responded.
"Ah, I am listening." Jiang Yuhan suddenly looked up and said subconsciously.
You're listening to nothing!
Looking at Jiang Yuhan's bewildered face, Su Hao shook his head helplessly and stopped the bicycle; they had arrived at the hotpot restaurant.
They walked into the shop, found a random seat, and Su Hao ordered a clear broth pot and some dishes.
Perhaps there were too many embarrassing things that happened this evening; since entering the shop, Jiang Yuhan had spoken very little, only focusing on eating heartily.
Su Hao didn't have much appetite, so he just rested his chin on his hand and watched Jiang Yuhan.
A beauty is a feast for the eyes; this was also a kind of enjoyment.
"You… why are you staring at me?" Feeling Su Hao's gaze wandering over her, Jiang Yuhan felt completely uncomfortable.
"Nothing, I just think Vice President is very beautiful," Su Hao said bluntly.
Beautiful? Is he hinting at me again? No, he said he wouldn't hint at anyone! Then why is he praising me for being beautiful?
Jiang Yuhan's thoughts were a tangled mess, her CPU smoking from Su Hao's simple compliment.
Seeing Jiang Yuhan's bewildered expression, Su Hao found her extremely cute and wanted to tease her.
So he placed his arms on the table and looked at Jiang Yuhan teasingly: "Vice President, do you want to know what you did after getting drunk this afternoon?"
"No! I don't want to at all!" Hearing Su Hao's words, Jiang Yuhan suddenly looked up, her pretty face turning red at a visible speed.
"Then never mind." Su Hao shook his head regretfully, mumbling, "She probably doesn't remember taking off her clothes."
"What did you say? Took off clothes?" Hearing Su Hao's mumbling, Jiang Yuhan suddenly remembered she was wearing a black T-shirt in the afternoon, but woke up in a white T-shirt.
Did Su Hao change my clothes? Thinking of that enchanting scene, Jiang Yuhan's CPU instantly exploded.
"You… I… what did you do to me while I was asleep?" Jiang Yuhan struggled for a long time before managing to blurt out this sentence.
"Don't worry, I'm a gentleman, I wouldn't take advantage of someone in their vulnerable state. On the contrary, you kept holding my hand, telling me not to leave, and even took off your top in front of me.
I thought you were going to force yourself on me, so I hurried away. As for your clothes, you probably changed them yourself while you were asleep," Su Hao added fuel to the fire.
"How is that possible? How could I possibly do such a thing?" Jiang Yuhan murmured to herself, feeling that her image had completely collapsed and could never be restored.
"What else did I do?" A moment later, Jiang Yuhan recovered and asked with a desperate look.
"You also touched my abs with Bai Jiazhen, and said you wanted to be my mom, and said you wanted to rule the universe with me, and said my hand was warm and you wanted to hold my hand…"
Su Hao raised his fingers one by one, meticulously listing Jiang Yuhan's various "crimes."
With each thing he said, Jiang Yuhan's head lowered a bit more, until her forehead rested on the table.
"Enough, enough, stop talking." Seeing Su Hao's endless chatter, Jiang Yuhan quickly reached out to stop him.
"I'm so sorry, I really don't usually act crazy when I'm drunk. I don't know what happened today, to be so out of control in front of you, I'm truly sorry." Jiang Yuhan covered her face, explaining with a flushed face.
Although her image had already collapsed, she still wanted to salvage it a bit, lest it continue to shatter into pieces.
"Maybe it's because you consider me a good friend, and you don't have your guard up with me, so you're more relaxed in front of me. Vice President, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else," Su Hao said, stroking his chin, comforting Jiang Yuhan.
"A good friend?" Jiang Yuhan froze for a moment, and the image of Su Hao kissing Li Shuxin reappeared in her mind.
What am I thinking about at a time like this? She patted her head to dispel the image, then looked at Su Hao seriously.
"Anyway, I'm really sorry, I absolutely won't do this again next time."
"It's okay, you've already treated me to dinner as compensation," Su Hao said, taking a sip of beer.
He was a little thirsty after talking so much.
"Why are you only drinking and not eating? Let me get you a piece of meat…" Jiang Yuhan picked up her chopsticks and reached for the hotpot, only to realize that there was no meat, not even any vegetables left.
Jiang Yuhan then remembered that she had eaten everything herself, as if she had finished the entire hotpot alone.
She held her chopsticks frozen in mid-air, feeling like a clown.
Su Hao couldn't help but laugh at this scene.
"Sorry, sorry, I'll order another portion for you!" Jiang Yuhan put down her chopsticks and quickly said.
But perhaps she was too rushed, her sleeve brushed against a nearby beer bottle, spilling a large amount of beer and soaking her clothes.
"Ah… why is this happening?" Jiang Yuhan wailed, frantically pulling out tissues to wipe the table.
But she didn't see the beer bottle roll twice and quietly fall to the ground.
With a "clink," the bottle shattered into pieces of glass all over the floor, and the entire restaurant fell silent, everyone's eyes turning towards them.
Feeling like she was the center of attention, Jiang Yuhan's cheeks suddenly became burning hot. She sniffled, and clear tears were about to fall.
The series of events tonight had already made her break down.
"Wipe your clothes first."
Just as Jiang Yuhan was about to shed tears, Su Hao walked over and handed her a few tissues.
"Su Hao~" Jiang Yuhan looked up, her eyes teary, like a pitiful little girl, instantly striking Su Hao's heart.
"It's okay."
Su Hao ruffled Jiang Yuhan's hair, then turned and walked to the side to pick up the restaurant's broom and dustpan, cleaning up the broken glass and wiping the table clean.
At this moment, the owner also walked over. Su Hao explained the situation to him and paid the bill.
"It's okay, little girl, it's just a bottle," the restaurant owner said, waving his hand quickly when he saw Jiang Yuhan apologizing profusely.
"Your boyfriend has already cleaned it up, you really don't need to apologize. This young man is really good, girl, you should hold onto him." Leaving Su Hao with a helpful remark, the owner smiled and left.
"I'm not his…" Jiang Yuhan was about to explain, but saw that the owner had already walked away.
"Vice President, what are you looking at? It's time to go." After wrapping up the broken glass and throwing it into the trash can, Su Hao had just returned to the restaurant when he saw Jiang Yuhan standing still, looking at who knows what.
"Nothing." Jiang Yuhan shook her head and walked towards Su Hao. "Thank you for everything today, Su Hao."
"It's nothing, we're friends," Su Hao said with a smile, turning around.
When Jiang Yuhan saw his smile, for some reason, her previously agitated heart suddenly calmed down.
"Su Hao, I remember you said you didn't have a girlfriend earlier?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
"I… I want to…"
Jiang Yuhan was about to confess when a sports car roared past, kicking up a gust of wind and interrupting Jiang Yuhan's words.
"Driving so fast, are they in a hurry to be reincarnated?" Su Hao cursed at the sports car, then turned to look at Jiang Yuhan. "Vice President, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Yuhan shook her head, sighed, then smiled. "I want you to take me for a ride on your bike, can you?"
"No problem!" Su Hao had felt that the ride here wasn't enough, so he quickly agreed.
So, under the night sky, a blue bicycle shadow weaved through the neon lights.
"Vice President, is this speed okay?"
Su Hao pedaled the bicycle, feeling the refreshing night breeze on his face, feeling as if his soul had been cleansed.
"It's perfect!" Jiang Yuhan wrapped her arms around Su Hao's back and shouted.
"Does it feel like freedom?" Su Hao laughed loudly.
"Yes!" Jiang Yuhan also laughed.
"No wonder so many people like cycling, it really is quite exhilarating."
Su Hao cheered, and seeing the trees on both sides being left far behind, he felt a surge of emotion, all his worries cast to the wind.
"Vice President, let me sing you a song!"
"Okay."
Jiang Yuhan responded, and seeing Su Hao a little emotional, she thought he would sing some passionate songs, but she didn't expect his voice to suddenly become gentle.
"The wind brings your breath, the moonlight reflects surprise;
Turns out you never left, always guarding here;
Silent, like a shadow;
I am no longer lost, longing is my only baggage;
Among the stars, one is your wish;
The road ahead is no longer lonely and long, under the night sky, you and I no longer wait;
Sing softly, by your side;"
The gentle singing drifted into Jiang Yuhan's ears with the wind, and her gaze couldn't help but become dazed.
"What is this song called?" After the song ended, Jiang Yuhan asked softly.
"'Eventually I'll Walk With You,' isn't it great?" Su Hao stopped the bicycle and turned his head with a smile.
"Are you hinting at me again?" Looking at Su Hao's smile, Jiang Yuhan murmured.
"Hinting at what?" Su Hao asked confusedly, then saw Jiang Yuhan lean forward and hug his neck.
"Vice President?" Su Hao froze in place, staring blankly at Jiang Yuhan.
Under the moonlight, her face was exquisitely flawless.
"Don't call me Vice President, call me Yu Han," Jiang Yuhan said softly, slowly lowering her head and kissing Su Hao's lips.
Su Hao finally reacted, wrapping his arms around Jiang Yuhan's waist.
A long time later, their lips parted.
"Yu Han, we…" Su Hao exhaled lightly, his eyes full of affection.
"Nothing happened between us, and you didn't remember anything! Send me home now!" Jiang Yuhan said, her face flushed with shyness.
"Ah?"
Su Hao was truly stunned this time. He had been about to suggest that doing 'that' on a bicycle might not be good, and perhaps they should get a room instead.
"What do you mean 'ah'? Hurry up!" Jiang Yuhan snapped, then wrapped her arms around Su Hao's waist and fell silent.
"Alright," Su Hao sighed regretfully, then, unwilling to give up, asked, "It's so late, why don't I stay at your place overnight?"
"Stay over, my foot!" Jiang Yuhan said, her face red, and she raised her hand to give Su Hao a playful flick on the forehead.
Seeing that Jiang Yuhan truly had no such intentions, Su Hao couldn't help but sigh, pondering in his mind which beauty to find after dropping off Jiang Yuhan.
There was no other way; Jiang Yuhan had already ignited his passion, and he had to find someone.
He thought, Jiang Yuhan was truly something, just lighting the fire without putting it out.
Su Hao grumbled inwardly, unaware that Jiang Yuhan's thoughts were equally chaotic. In her daze, she had inexplicably kissed Su Hao, as if possessed.
How would she face him in the future? Holding onto Su Hao's waist, Jiang Yuhan felt her mind had turned into a muddled mess.
Under the night sky, both remained silent, and the atmosphere grew tranquil. Jiang Yuhan, without realizing it, had fallen asleep.
It wasn't until Su Hao picked her up that Jiang Yuhan slowly awoke.
"You're awake? I was just about to carry you home," Su Hao said, seeing her stir, and quickly put Jiang Yuhan down.
"Sorry…"
"No need to apologize," Su Hao pointed to his lips, "You've already paid the price."
Then Jiang Yuhan gave him another flick on the forehead.
"That wasn't payment! That was my…" Jiang Yuhan glared at Su Hao angrily.
"It was your what?" Su Hao looked at Jiang Yuhan with a smile.
"You're deliberately trying to trick me into saying it, so I won't!" Jiang Yuhan huffed, turning and walking towards her front door.
Su Hao stood in place, counting silently in his mind: one, two…
Before he reached three, Jiang Yuhan suddenly turned her head.
"That was my heart's desire, and you're not allowed to forget it!"
Then, with a click, she closed the door.
"Still didn't let me stay overnight. Oh well, next time."
Su Hao waited outside the door for a moment. Seeing that Jiang Yuhan didn't open it, he rode his bicycle towards Peilin's hotel.
He pondered for a moment and decided it was better to go to Peilin, as he still had to pick her up tomorrow morning.
If he went to Lin Jiayu, it would be difficult to explain when leaving tomorrow morning.
After Su Hao left, Jiang Yuhan opened the door and watched him go.
"Sorry, I really wasn't ready. Next time… next time for sure."
