Xiao Han’s eyes also took on a complex hue.
“Zi Han,” Xiao Han suddenly called out.
“Huh?” Chen Zihan looked at Xiao Han with a surprised face and asked, “Do you... do you not understand something?”
Chen Zihan’s dazed and adorable face, along with those clear eyes. Her slender fingers gently played with the fine hair on her forehead, tucking it behind her ear. She blinked those black eyes, her gaze carrying a hint of playfulness, a hint of excitement, and a hint of surprise.
“I...” Xiao Han’s face broke into a smile and he said, “Thank you for your notes, I really need them!”
“Really?” Chen Zihan was even more delighted when she heard this and said excitedly, “I’m so glad they could be of use to you.”
For Chen Zihan, it was naturally her hope and desire that her writings could help Xiao Han. Chen Zihan’s smile was beautiful like a warm spring breeze, or like a flower blooming in a quiet mountain valley. So beautiful, so enchanting.
At that moment, Xiao Han felt himself captivated by Chen Zihan’s beauty.
Her beauty was different from Li Xiaoya’s. Li Xiaoya’s was a mature, intellectual kind of beauty. It was a beauty brimming with maternal radiance, filled with sensuality, allure, and a charm that reached deep into the bones, with every facial feature exuding grace.
Chen Zihan’s beauty was like a tender green leaf; like a cloud quietly floating in the sky; even like a green duckweed in clear stream water. A beauty so pure, so straightforward, so refreshing as if bathed in the spring breeze.
These two kinds of beauty were incomparable and beyond any contention.
Xiao Han suddenly felt an inability to choose. Li Xiaoya’s body seemed filled with a demonic allure, something he could start but found impossible to let go. Yet, Chen Zihan made Xiao Han hesitant to touch. After all, she was the goddess of Linjiang No.1 Middle School and the object of many men’s dreams.
In Xiao Han’s eyes, Chen Zihan was enveloped in a sacred glow, as if she was to be admired from afar and not to be trifled with. Therefore, Xiao Han had always tried to maintain a certain distance from Chen Zihan. Although they had held hands and even kissed, Xiao Han had always been reluctant to develop their relationship any further.
There were no more classes for seniors, as all the knowledge points for the high school curriculum had been covered last month. Starting this month, the entire class had officially begun the countdown to the college entrance examination, and everyone was immersed in revision work.
Class teacher Liu Jinmei had sounded the alarm to all students in the classroom not for the first time.
Today’s lessons were still focused on review. After school, Liu Jinmei put away her teaching materials and then lightly tapped the desk, saying, “Students, tomorrow is the second mock examination. I hope everyone can perform well and show their normal level.”
“Teacher Liu,” at this moment, Jiang Xiaoliang suddenly stood up.
“What is it?” Liu Jinmei asked.
“If I score higher than Xiao Han in this exam, I want to move back to my original seat,” declared Jiang Xiaoliang as he rose to his feet.
Liu Jinmei paused for a moment and said, “That’s something you have to ask Xiao Han to see if he’s willing to switch with you.”
Jiang Xiaoliang stared at Xiao Han with a very provocative look. At this moment, the whole class turned their eyes to Xiao Han. Chen Zihan quickly said, “Xiao Han, don’t mind him.”
Xiao Han stood up from his chair unhurriedly and slowly said, “If you do score higher than me this time, I’ll give you my seat. But if you don’t, what will you do then?”
“Impossible!” Jiang Xiaoliang had an inherent refusal to admit defeat. He believed he came well prepared this time, having studied diligently, and in order to compete with Xiao Han, he had been doing a set of Huanggang exam papers almost every day. He was even confident that he could breach the 700-point mark this time.
“Xiao Han, what are you still doing here?” Chen Zihan looked curiously at Xiao Han.
“Oh, I just met a friend, so we chatted for a bit,” Xiao Han said with a smile, “I was just about to head home.”
“Do you want a ride for part of the way?” Chen Zihan asked curiously.
Xiao Han grinned and said, “Sure.”
Chen Zihan promptly gave Xiao Han a ride and took him back home. Xiao Han’s lips curled into a smile. Sitting in the back, he couldn’t help but wrap his arms around Chen Zihan’s waist, causing her to blush instantly.
“There are people around!” Chen Zihan’s face turned bright red.
“What’s there to fear?” Xiao Han laughed, “So what if there are people? Why worry so much about it? You’re my girlfriend now, aren’t couples supposed to hug and hold each other?”
“I am not your girlfriend!” Chen Zihan asserted with a crimson face.
“Chen Zihan, you can’t welsh on a deal!” Xiao Han immediately said earnestly, “Who was it that whispered in my ear, saying that if I ranked second in the class, she would be my girlfriend? You haven’t forgotten, have you?”
“I...” Chen Zihan’s face turned even redder.
Frankly, she had merely meant to provoke Xiao Han initially, never really expecting that he could actually rank second. Later, to everyone’s astonishment, Xiao Han topped the entire class. As for the matter of being boyfriend and girlfriend, Xiao Han never brought it up, so Chen Zihan thought he had forgotten about it. She was not prepared when he mentioned it now.
“I don’t want to!” Chen Zihan finally blurted out after struggling for a bit.
“Don’t your words count?” Xiao Han countered.
“No!” Chen Zihan shook her head.
“Then you are my girlfriend now.” Xiao Han chuckled slyly.
“I...” Chen Zihan blushed even more, grateful that she wasn’t facing Xiao Han, or else she would feel utterly mortified. She snorted coldly, chiding, “You... you are such a rascal!”
“Haha...” Xiao Han laughed heartily; getting called a rascal by Chen Zihan was simply a delight for him.
Hearing Xiao Han’s impudent laughter made Chen Zihan blush even more. She sped up.
She dropped Xiao Han off at his home.
“Do you want to come in and sit for a while?” Xiao Han asked.
“No!” Chen Zihan shook her head.
“My mom isn’t at home!” Xiao Han snickered.
“That’s even more reason not to go!” Chen Zihan’s face was beet red as she said, “You’re just a big pervert. I’m not about to walk straight into a lion’s den.”
After speaking, Chen Zihan turned and left swiftly.
