Love So Sweet

“Su Jin, is everything alright?” Teacher Jiang asked.

Fang Su Jin turned and saw that her mentor was looking at her with concern. A faint smile curled on his lips. “I’m fine,” Fang Su Jin answered quickly before her mentor was going to worry. “Teacher Jiang, you go ahead first. I have something to talk to him about.”

Teacher Jiang shifted his gaze to Zhang Yi Hai again.

He remembered this young man. Last time, Zhang Yi Hai also attended Fang Su Jin’s exhibition and brought a lot of friends to the exhibit.

Moreover, this man had also helped his student when she ran into trouble with that agent from F Country.

Although Teacher Jiang thought that their situation was strange, he decided that Zhang Yi Hai was trustworthy. He understood Fang Su Jin. If she was uncomfortable with this young man, she would not waste her time with him.

“Then,” Teacher Jiang shifted his gaze to Fang Su Jin again. “I will go up first. Su Jin, don’t take too long. You still have to come to the exhibition tomorrow. The people from the Art Association would want to speak to you.”

Fang Su Jin nodded. “Teacher Jiang, I understand.”

.....

The elder man shifted his gaze to Zhang Yi Hai again. He nodded before turning around to leave.

Zhang Yi Hai watched as the man entered the elevator before he turned to Fang Su Jin. “Sister Fang, can we talk now?”

Fang Su Jin clenched her hand tightly.

Now that they were alone, Fang Su Jin could not help but feel anxious. However, she knew that she could not delay speaking to Zhang Yi Hai for a long time. Sooner or later, she will have to face him.

“Alright.” Fag Su Jin nodded.

Zhang Yi Hai released her hand and heaved a breath of relief. “Sister Fang, should we go and walk while we talk.”

Fang Su Jin nodded again. “Then, let’s go to the hotel’s garden.” She turned around and led Zhang Yi Hai to the garden. At this time, she was glad that she was not staying in The Orchid Hotel.

If the employees recognized them both, who knows what sort of rumor would appear?

The two of them entered the elevator and headed to the garden. The elevator stopped with a ding.

Fang Su Jin heaved a breath as they stepped out of the elevator. The garden came into a view. Just as they stepped out to the garden, Zhang Yi Hai spoke again.

“Sister Fang, did I do anything wrong?”

Fang Su Jin turned around and shook her head.

“Then, why are you avoiding me?” Zhang Yi Hai asked. “Didn’t we agree to talk about this when you come to Capital City for your exhibition?”

The moment Zhang Yi Hai mentioned this, Fang Su Jin grew upset again.

“Tell m honestly, were you playing with me?”

Zhang Yi Hai had a confused look on his face the moment he heard her words.

“You said that you liked me. Then, why did you not try to contact me?” Fang Su Jin spoke. “Zhang Yi Hai, just tell me if you had change your mind. Don’t give me hope and pretend that nothing happened.”

“What makes you think that I have changed my mind? Sister Fang, would I show up here if I was just playing with you?”

“Who knows what you were thinking about?’ You probably wanted to make fun of me!”

Fang Su Jin grew angrier when she recalled what happened. No one knew just how anxious she was when Zhang Yi Hai did not try to contact her. A lot of thoughts went through her mind and each of them was not something good.

She was happy at one time and unhappy at another.

Her heart was in turmoil.

Fang Su Jin was breathing heavily as he thought of what she had gone through. Suddenly, her body was enveloped in a warm hug. Her eyes went wide as realized that Zhang Yi Hai was hugging her.

Her heartbeat accelerated. Fang Su Jin tried to inhale deeply to calm down, but each time she breathed in, her nostrils were filled with Zhang Yi Hai’s scent

“I’m sorry.” Zhang Yi Hai whispered.

Her body turned rigid as his breath caressed her skin.

“It’s not that I didn’t want to contact you,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “You don’t know how much I wanted to pick up the phone to call and text you. But Sister Fang, I already promised that I will give you a month to think about it. I wanted to give you the time and space to think properly. I don’t want to put a lot of pressure on you. I was worried that you would run away and hide when you are pressured. If only I knew that it would make you doubt my feelings for you, I would have contacted you every day.”

Fang Su Jin stood still in his embrace.

Her mind was telling her that she should push him away, but she thought that staying in his embrace was quite comfortable as well.

“Sister Fang, were you waiting for me?”

Fang Su Jin stiffened again when she heard his words. Suddenly, she felt as if she could hear the ease in Zhang Yi Hai’s voice. She struggled to get out of his embrace and pushed him away. “Who’s waiting for you?”

“Then... why are you anxious when I did not contact you?” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “You really care about me, right?”

Fang Su Jin stared at him in anger. The teasing smile on his face was making her angrier. She raised her hand and hit him on the chest. Just as she turned around, Zhang Yi Hai once again pulled her into his embrace.

“A month has passed. Have you thought about it?” Zhang Yi Hai asked. “Sister Fang, what is your decision? Do you want to try and date me?”
