Chapter 141 There are Poems, and There are Distant Places
Thinking about this, Xiao Han suddenly felt warmth fill his stomach. He hugged Chen Zihan tightly and then said, "Chen Zihan, why are you so silly, why do you move people so much!"
Chen Zihan wrapped her arms around Xiao Han and said, "Because I like you, my silliness and simplicity are only for you."
"Silly!" Xiao Han gently scraped her perky nose and then said, "Even if you like someone so much, you don't need to give your all!"
"I..." Chen Zihan blinked her eyes and said cutely, "I haven't given my all, have I? At least I'm holding on to my bottom line and principles, right?"
Xiao Han nodded and said, "I hope you're always like this."
"Are you not mad anymore?" Chen Zihan curiously looked at Xiao Han.
"How could I bear to be mad?" Xiao Han looked at Chen Zihan and then said, "You're so silly, I can't bear to be angry!"
"You're the silly one!" Chen Zihan huffed softly.
A smile formed on the corners of Xiao Han's mouth, and then he said, "Alright, let's start on the test papers!"
"Okay!" Chen Zihan nestled her head gently against Xiao Han's chest and after snuggling for a while, they both started working on the test papers.
Xiao Han's engrossment in the questions was no less than anything else, or rather, his seriousness was quite high. If he settled down to do something, he would be very serious about it. Xiao Han's seriousness almost reached the realm of self-forgetfulness.
There were three test papers today: one English, one Mathematics, and one Biology.
For English—a subject that required high memorization—Xiao Han faced no challenge at all. He completed the test paper in fifteen minutes. Although Maths was somewhat difficult, the difficulty wasn't severe as it mainly covered recent knowledge points. So, Xiao Han didn't take much time and soon finished all the problems. He quickly tossed aside the test paper.
Xiao Han had finished two papers, while Chen Zihan had just managed the English one. She looked at Xiao Han with a face full of surprise; this guy was too fast!
Chen Zihan hurriedly took Xiao Han's English paper to compare. More than ninety-five percent of their answers were the same. That meant Xiao Han's accuracy was also very high. This surprised Chen Zihan even more; the guy was not only fast but incredibly accurate. What exactly was his brain made of?
Curious, Chen Zihan turned to look at Xiao Han. He was immersed in the world of self-forgetfulness, his head down calculating biological formulas. Mathematics and Biology, being complementary sciences, held a great deal of interconnection. Therefore, there was a high degree of interchangeability between them.
Xiao Han's seriousness further fascinated Chen Zihan.
What kind of man has the most charm? Naturally, it is a man who is serious. When a man is immersed in something, he radiates a captivating charm. Moreover, this charm is brimming with masculinity. His hormones are off the charts.
Chen Zihan supported her pink chin with her hands, her charming eyes fixed on Xiao Han, who radiated an alluring glow.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Han turned his head to look at Chen Zihan.
"Oh... nothing!" Chen Zihan quickly shook her head and then said, "I just like watching you!"
"Have you finished your test paper?" Xiao Han asked.
Chen Zihan was a kind and innocent girl. Her emotional world was still untouched, and Xiao Han didn't want to let her down, especially not to disappoint her as she was about to enter university. Holding Chen Zihan tightly, he earnestly said, "You are my everything. My poetry is your world, my distant horizon is you!"
"Xiao Han, I love you!" Chen Zihan's eyes welled with tears.
"I love you too!" Xiao Han gently kissed Chen Zihan's forehead.
The sunset bashfully dropped its last trace of blush; the clouds in the sky lost their color, leaving only a faint pink light still hanging in the horizon. Street lights had already lit up, and the traffic on the roads flowed ceaselessly. Two tender-hearted youngsters walked hand in hand, step by step forward.
Chen Zihan harbored her own worries. Since the birthday party, Chen Zihan's mother had repeatedly confronted her, with an assertive and resolute attitude demanding that Chen Zihan break up with Xiao Han, or face severe consequences. Chen Zihan, while trying to placate, did not wish to bring it up with Xiao Han. After all, she didn't want this to impact Xiao Han's studies.
Xiao Han was excellent and the college entrance exam would be his battleground, where he was expected to achieve impressive results. That day, when the results would be declared, would shine the brightest for Xiao Han.
At that time, it would also be the day for Chen Zihan to speak with her mother. She needed to present Xiao Han's marks to her mother. To have her reassess whether Xiao Han was worthy of becoming the Chen Family's son-in-law.
Regrettably, Chen Zihan's thinking was much too naïve. For her, good test scores would definitely convince her mother. However, it seemed she had vastly underestimated her mother's greed.
Once a woman becomes greedy, the black hole in her heart turns into an abyss. She can completely obliterate a person's conscience.
................
Xiao Han had never imagined that Chen Zihan would face such immense pressure from her family. Thus, he had never thought too much about it. Of course, he hadn't foreseen Chen Zihan's mother making a personal visit either. This visit solidified a belief in Xiao Han's heart: one mustn't be without money!!
It was the first Friday in March.
That Friday night, Xiao Han came back from the Apple Store. Recently, Hanmen Technology was preparing to set up five chain restaurants with the funding from Sifang International. To create a distinctive style and high class, Xiao Han decided to hire someone to design the restaurant's logo and interior decor...
And to make a memorable impact, Xiao Han decided on a unified name, to be called Hanmen Catering. He discussed the plans until 7 PM before heading home.
Just as he got to the front door, Mother Xiao was waiting anxiously at the entrance, looking forward expectantly. When she saw Xiao Han arrive, she ran over with a worried expression.
"Xiao Han, you're finally back!" Mother Xiao said anxiously.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Xiao Han looked at his mother, puzzled.
"Have you been dating someone?" Mother Xiao asked with a stern face.
"I..." Upon hearing this and seeing the situation, Xiao Han realized his mother must have found out, and he couldn't avoid it any longer. He reluctantly nodded and admitted, "Yes, I... I really have been, but it hasn't affected my studies!"
"But, her mother came to our house!" Mother Xiao said anxiously.
"What?" Xiao Han, hearing this, suddenly paled, saying, "No... really?"
Xiao Han was frightened. He wasn't prepared to meet his mother-in-law just yet. He swallowed nervously. Mother Xiao hurriedly said, "You better go in and explain to them!"
