Love So Sweet

At that moment, Fang Su Jin was glad she was not facing the young man. If he could look at her face now, Zhang Yi Hai would see how her face had turned as red as a lobster.

“Sister Fang?” Zhang Yi Hai called her name again when she did not respond. His grip around her body tightened.

Zhang Yi Hai began to wonder if Fang Su Jin was going to reject him.

As the thought came to his mind, Zhang Yi Hai began to feel anxious. He was confident that Fang Su Jin had feelings for him as well.

It was not as if he had never considered the possibility that he was going to be rejected.

While Fang Su Jin was in Y City, Zhang Yi Hai had already thought of the outcome. He thought that he could accept them.

But after meeting Fang Su Jin again, Zhang Yi Hai realized that he might like Fang Su Jin more than he thought. He did not think that he would be able to accept it if he was rejected.

This was the first time that he had liked someone and confessed. Perhaps, it was because of this that he was a little anxious.

.....

Zhang Yi Hai rested his forehead against her shoulder. “Are you not going to give me your answer?”

Fang Su Jin lowered her head.

There was a long silence between them before Fang Su Jin finally spoke again, “Zhang Yi Hai, I am sure that there are a lot of your friends and classmates who would be suitable for you. Don’t you want to consider dating someone your age?”

“I’m not interested in them. Sister Fang, I only like you,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “I hope that you would overlook my age and give me the chance to pursue you, alright?”

“But what if we’re not suitable for each other?”

“What if we are?”

Fang Su Jin pursed her lips tightly. She had a feeling that she would soon lose to Zhang Yi Hai’s reasoning.

“What if you’re going to regret being with me?”

“Even if the relationship would not work out in the future, I can promise that I won’t regret my decision to pursue you,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “I will work hard for both of us to stay together for a long time.”

All of the sudden, Fang Su Jin felt her eyes stinging and her nose had turned sour. There was something in his words that made her touched. Fang Su Jin did not want to cry, but her tears fell before she could stop them.

She quickly raised her hand to wipe her tears before Zhang Yi Hai was going to tease her about it.

“Sister Fang, do you have someone else that you like?”

Fang Su Jin stayed silent. A while later, she shook her head.

Zhang Yi Hai slowly released his arms around her body. He made her turn around to face him. Seeing her misty eyes made him sigh.

A moment ago, Fang Su Jin was acting fierce in front of him and now, she was crying again.

Zhang Yi Hai raised both hands to cup Fang Su Jin’s cheek. His thumbs were brushing her cheek softly. “Since you don’t have anyone else that you like, then why don’t you let me give it a try? Sister Fang, date me, alright?”

Fang Su Jin raised her head to meet Zhang Yi Hai’s eyes. His gaze made her stunned. Fang Su Jin thought that she could really see his sincerity in those eyes.

Zhang Yi Hai really liked her.

It would be a lie to say that she did not want to agree. But Fang Su Jin also had her insecurities. Besides their age differences, Fang Su Jin was also worried because of her relationship with Zhang Yi Hai’s sister.

If their relationship did not work out, then she would be so embarrassed to meet Zhang Li Xue again.

There were voices of reason, telling her why she should say yes and why she should tell him no.

Her heart was inclining to one side.

Slowly, Fang Su Jin nodded.

His eyes lit up. Zhang Yi Hai thought that he had seen Fang Su Jin nod, but there was also a part of him that told him that he was seeing things.

Before he could confirm her answer, he should not be too happy.

“Sister Fang, you nodded.” Zhang Yi Hai swallowed. He looked at her anxiously as he continued, “That means, you agreed, right?”

Fang Su Jin stared at him in frustration. She had already given him her answer, why was he still asking?

Her lips parted as she whispered, “Yes.” Her voice was wavering. Therefore, she took a deep breath to calm down. “I agree.”

Zhang Yi Hai inhaled a deep breath. The smile on his face was so bright and wide that his eyes turned crescent. The hopelessness he felt quickly disappeared and was replaced by something else. It was a happiness that he could not describe.

Fang Su Jin looked at the young man in front of her in shock. She did not expect that Zhang Yi Hai would be this happy to hear her answer.

In her opinion, Zhang Yi Hai was someone mature for his age. He often had a serious and unfriendly look on his face whenever he was following his sister around. Perhaps, it was because of that she was afraid of him.

But at this moment, Zhang Yi Hai seemed very different.

For the first time, Fang Su Jin thought that Zhang Yi Hai could also be this childish.

Suddenly, she was pulled into his embrace again. This time, Zhang Yi Hai buried his face in the crook of her neck.

“Sister Fang, I won’t regret this,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “I will also work hard so that you won’t regret giving me a chance.”

Her body stiffened as she felt his breath against her skin. Fang Su Jin lowered her head and nodded slowly. “Okay.”
