" I still can't believe Han Liang made a move on my innocent Luo Luo. She is just 23 years old. Ah, wait…She turned 24 years old this year. Even though, she is still too young to be involved in such things." Xu Nuan grumbled while sitting on the couch and munching on potato chips.
Han Zihao, who was making their dinner in the kitchen, chuckled upon hearing her protective words towards Luo Dan and said, " I don't think that you should be saying such words. You got into a relationship when you were 22."
"....."
Xu Nuan's hands froze in the air upon hearing his 'passive-aggressive words and slowly put down the chips that she was holding, back into the packet and dusted off the crumbs from her hands as if she heard nothing. She indeed got into a relationship with Qin Ju when she was just 22 and faced the worst consequences of that decision of hers.
It's better to pretend dead in such moments.
She was planning to lie on the couch and sleep as fast as she could but then she heard him say, " Don't you try to fall asleep just to escape from this conversation. Dinner is almost ready."
" YES." She responded almost immediately and sat in a straight posture as if she was in some military training.
….
At the dining table, Xu Nuan pouted her lips and tried her best to avoid the topic that they were discussing earlier, but as soon as she picked up her chopsticks, he spoke again, " So….did they say that they're dating now? What's the conclusion of the whole conversation?" He asked.
She glanced at him and cleared her throat before replying, " I don't know."
" You don't know? Didn't you say that you were waiting for them outside the office for more than an hour, to tell you the news?"
Xu Nuan sighed heavily and said, " We did. But as soon as they walked out of the office, Luo Dan said that they would handle the situation on their own and held Jia Fei's hand and left. They didn't say anything or told me what they're planning to do next."
" And soon after that, Han Liang also left the company, without saying a single word." She whined.
She was so curious about what they talked about inside and they just left, without giving her any details of their conversation.
Han Zihao raised his eyebrows and frowned at her, " So all this while, you were blaming Han Liang without even knowing if they're in a relationship or not?"
Xu Nuan coughed as soon as she heard his words and took the tissue to wipe her mouth that he handed over to her, " What blaming him? I didn't blame him. I was just talking about the facts."
" I was just telling the truth. He seduced my Luo Luo. And I am sure he is planning to pursue her later on. I can't believe I was giving him tips to chase after Luo Dan all this long." She felt betrayed. How can he not tell her anything and take dating tips from her shamelessly, just to try it on, Luo Dan?
" So what do you want to say? He can't pursue your 'dear Luo Luo'?" He asked while taking a bite of the fried rice that he made for dinner.
She scratched her neck awkwardly and shook her head, " Not that. Even though he is stupid, he is not a bad guy after all. Although he is annoying but….he is not 'that' bad."
" However, He better don't hurt her later on, otherwise, I will kick him on the a*s. And I mean it." She said it with all sincerity. She knows how sensitive Luo Dan is at heart. She might not say anything upfront but she gets hurt easily and mulls over it on her own.
Han Zihao was amused to see her protective nature towards Luo Dan and was glad that she finally was able to reunite with them. Even though she was meeting the girls occasionally and was in touch with them, things changed drastically after she revealed her 'real' identity to them.
He has seen her getting teary-eyed while looking at their pictures of the past. However, these days she looks happier and more peaceful, even when looking at the pictures of her past with her group members. Even though the incident with Hao Mei is still a thorn in her heart, things are getting better than before.
When Xu Nuan thought that their conversation was over and put a fried dumpling in her mouth, she heard him say again, " I heard you broke your promise once again. Didn't you drink so much until you passed out last night?"
She choked on the food that was in her mouth and coughed violently, covering her mouth with a tissue, " How….why are you talking while eating? Don't you know how dangerous it is?" She asked while coughing and covering her mouth with the tissue and gulped up a glass of water afterward.
" Mr. Han, kindly refrain from talking while eating. It's not safe and hazardous to health. Now let's eat in peace." She said to avoid talking about that as she knows that he was itching to lecture her about the drinking incident.
After the doctor asked her to refrain from drinking, she had promised him that she will not drink without him and if necessary, she will try to control her alcohol intake and will not get crazily drunk. However, last night, she broke the promise once again.
She not only drank crazily last night with Jia Fei but also came to his house and banged on his door loudly, in the middle of the night, and was dragged away by Jia Fei before he could come out and open the door.
Although he didn't follow her to Jia Fei's apartment because of this crazy act of hers, she remembered all the embarrassing things that she did when drunk once she saw the number of missed calls from him in the morning.
Han Zihao saw her avoiding eye contact with him and was trying her best to stop him from talking about that incident. He nodded and said, " That's suits too. Since we can't talk while eating, we will talk about it when in bed."
"..."
" AH?" Xu Nuan was perplexed at his words and felt that the meaning of his conversation was different than hers.
" What…what do you mean? Why….why in bed?" She stared at him warily and covered her chest protectively with her hands upon seeing him smirking meaningfully.
" Because that kind of activity is not hazardous to one's health. In fact, it has many benefits that are good for one's health. Now Eat. Eat." He said and gestured to her with his hand to eat her food and not talk.
Xu Nuan was too speechless to speak and cleared her throat before digging in the food and avoided looking at him during their meal at all cost.
This man is becoming dangerous day by day. Who said he is a sloth? That person must be blind.
'That's why one should never believe in the first impression as the last impression. As most of the time, a first impression is never the truest form of an impression of anyone. Never.' She reminded herself while eating and focused on her food, rather than his face, that was overflowing with handsomeness.
