Chapter 93, Sweet Critical Hit (Subscribe!)

The boss greeted the customers warmly, "What would you like to eat?"

Li Heng's attention was all on Yiren, who was sitting two tables away. He didn't say anything, but pointed at the steamed dumplings with his right hand, indicating that he wanted one portion.

The steamed dumplings were ready, and there were not many left in the bamboo steamer. The boss skillfully took a white porcelain plate and used bamboo tweezers to quickly pick up a portion for him, which was 10 dumplings.

There are two kinds of dipping sauces, sesame sauce and chili sauce.

Li Heng had a picky taste, so he scooped a spoonful of each sauce and placed them on both ends of a white porcelain plate. Then he carried the plate and tiptoed to the opposite side of Xiao Han, and quietly sat in the seat where Yang Yingwen had just sat.

Xiao Han didn't pay much attention to this, thinking that her best friend had just come back from the bathroom, and she continued to eat wontons with her head down.

But before she could take a bite, she smelled the very fragrant scent of soapberry slowly drifting towards her.

Without looking up, Xiao Han knew who was coming and laughed.

When she was in junior high school, she smelled the scent of soapberries on someone for the first time and was obsessed with it.

During the holidays, I and my two sisters searched all the streets and alleys, and finally found soapberries with the same flavor in a shop in a corner of the farmer's market.

From then on, she announced that she would use this soapnut to wash clothes, which made Wei Shiman doubt her life.

Wei Shiman asked her daughter: "We have better things at home, why do you want this cheap thing?"

Xiao Han's answer was very casual, "I just like the smell of this."

Wei Shiman was puzzled and often put the cheap goods she bought into a corner or even threw them away.

But she would buy new ones later.

For this, Wei Shiman even raised a feather duster and threatened her brazenly:
"Your father is the mayor of the town after all. If you continue to use things that are not worthy of your family's status, I will cut off your pocket money."

For fear of having her pocket money cut off, Xiao Han really stopped using it for a while, but later she started using it again. Wei Shiman went completely crazy and no longer cared about her.

Xiao Han lowered his head and thought about the innocent and romantic past. A pure joy spread from his heart. What did it mean for someone to come to him actively?
Is the story between us not over yet?
Just when she was troubled, Li Heng spoke.

He explained the misunderstanding in one sentence, "The food I had when I had a fever was brought from Sun Manning's house. It happened to be her birthday that day, so the dishes were very sumptuous."

After saying that, he didn't explain any more, but just looked at her quietly, waiting for her to digest it.

There is no one who doesn't want Yue Lao to be on his or her side, and she is no exception.

From the moment she fell in love with him, she would treat every meeting with him and everything related to him as jade, believing it to be guidance from God.

She will give them a label called "love".

He came to find her and explained the reason. Xiao Han suddenly felt that today's rain was not so annoying. The sky had colors and the rain had positive meaning.

Seeing that he was staring at her, Xiao Han finally couldn't resist the pressure and pretended to be calm while slowly raising her head.

A clean and three-dimensional face, with clear facial features that attract girls' hearts, deep pupils emitting bright black light, and a very warm smile.

In just a moment, Xiao Han was moved by the face in front of him, and the coldness that he had been holding on to for the past month collapsed in an instant.

She felt herself funny, yet also pitiful, as if her fate was strangled by him and she couldn't escape.

She didn't believe in fate, but in the face of her love for him, she could selfishly forgive him once.

Of course, in front of others, she was still the pretentious girl with outstanding grace, calmness and self-control. She just looked at him with pursed lips and did not say a word.

This is her last act of hypocrisy. If you don't say hello, I won't say anything. If I say anything, I'm a puppy.

Looking into each other's eyes, Li Heng had no idea of ​​this girl's temper, and he immediately decided to satisfy her little vanity and self-esteem.

He smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I came to you because I left something with you."

The words "Don't get me wrong" made her blood, which had just risen, sink three times.

She pretended to be calm and asked casually, "What is it?"

Li Heng said, "Can you help me look for it? Look for it in your pocket."

At first, Xiao Han was unmoved.

But she was ultimately succumbed to those eyes that could seduce her. She carefully searched both pockets, only to find they were empty.

She pursed her lips and said, "No."

Li Heng leaned forward and asked with a puzzled look: "Really? I clearly left my soul with you, you wouldn't have hidden it this month, right?"

She subconsciously wanted to say no.

But the next second, her cherry lips, which were about to speak, were pursed again. Under his warm breath, her face gradually became red and she couldn't help but lower her head.

A faint blush spread across her cheeks, and her dimples reflected her beauty. She was indeed one of the two most beautiful women he had ever seen in his previous life. Li Heng stared at her for a while and praised her from the bottom of his heart, "Your two dimples are so beautiful."

It was the first time that his beloved honey stared at him like this. Xiao Han cried out in his heart: You little girl, calm down! Calm down! You are the one who has been wronged, don't be stage-frightened.

But she was too shy to show any signs of stage fright. She lowered her head even lower, her chin almost touching her chest, and the blush on her face spread rapidly and unbelievably.

At this moment, she felt her whole body was so hot that it could boil an egg.

Time passed quietly, and in this absolute silence, something like a burden between the two people disappeared, and the iron chains that locked the two hearts also broke one by one in the blush.

At one point, Li Heng poked a hole in the steamed dumpling with his chopsticks, breaking the deadlock and saying:
"Hey, look at my dumplings."

Hearing this, Xiao Han, who had nowhere to escape, comforted herself a little, and then raised her head politely. Li Heng pointed at the dumplings and asked, "Did you notice anything different?"

Xiao Han lowered his eyes, looked at it carefully for a while, and shook his head.

Li Heng picked up a steamed dumpling with chopsticks and held it in front of her, "Take another look."

Xiao Han concentrated on identifying it again, but still shook his head.

Li Heng motioned for her to open her mouth: "Then try eating it. If you still can't taste the difference, I'll tell you the answer."

Xiao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and opened his mouth, "You're not just trying to play a trick on me, are you?"

I added sweetly in my heart: He just wants to feed me.

Li Heng smiled and put the steamed dumpling on the end of the chopsticks into her mouth.

She tried biting it a few times, and then a few more times, until she chewed it up and swallowed it, but she couldn't taste any difference.

Li Heng picked up another dumpling with a punctured skin and said to himself, "Look at this dumpling, its skin is broken. You can't hide your care for someone, just like I care about you, its filling is exposed."

Hearing these affectionate words for the first time, Xiao Han once again couldn't bear the sweet attack and lowered her head. Under the table, her right hand tightly grasped her trembling left hand.

An extremely beautiful face was reflected in the wonton soup. A barely perceptible smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth, sly and gentle, and her curved eyebrows and eyes were almost narrowed into a honey color.

Xiao Han felt that he was staring at her from the corner of her eye. She was a little embarrassed. She took a deep breath and tilted her head. She wanted to ask him what happened today? Would he stop pursuing Song Yu? But she saw that he just put his head back and sat up straight.

Xiao Han wanted to say something several times but stopped herself in the end because she was afraid.

He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, if he was not the winner, the fragile relationship that the two of them had just established with great difficulty would once again disappear.

In the past month, Yang Yingwen saw her as elegant and carefree.

But only Xiao Han himself knew that wherever he appeared, the corner of his eye would always follow him and never leave him.

This feeling of being so close yet so far away was very tiring and torturous, so torturous that she was afraid.

Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I am willing to make a concession with dignity when he offers me a way out.

Li Heng put the second steamed dumpling on his chopsticks into her bowl naturally and said, "Please eat the steamed dumpling to make amends."

After saying that, Li Heng picked up the steamed dumplings one by one and put them into his mouth, devouring them to his heart's content, to her surprise.

The reason why Xiao Han's face was full of surprise was that after knowing each other for so many years, it was rare to see him put aside his pride and apologize to others.

Even last time at the door of the girls' dormitory, he first laid out a long string of awesome words before quietly following them with the three words "I'm sorry".

Xiao Han took a few minutes to digest what had just happened, and then said crisply:
"If it's for chicken and fish, I don't think it's necessary. It's my own fault. If it's for Song Yu..."

She smiled sweetly at him and said jokingly, "That's even more unnecessary."

Li Heng put the last steamed dumpling in his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, drank a sip of hot tea, and said, "Xiao Han, right?"

She was caught off guard by the name being called, and she was stunned, "Huh?"

Li Heng stretched out his hand and shouted, "Boss, another bowl of wontons, with the same seasoning as hers. Xiao Han, do you like me?"

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, "Huh???"

The next moment, she used her right hand to hold down her pounding heart that was going over 360 miles per hour. Her face flushed but she said indifferently, "Mr. Li, you'd better stop joking like this."

Well, as to the question “Xiao Han, do you like me?”, she neither denied nor admitted it.

There is no denying that she does like him and does love him.

She didn't admit it because everything now was too different from what she had imagined. She was afraid, terrified, and unwilling to accept it.

Of course, most people are unwilling!

She knew that he had Song Yu in his heart, and probably also the shadow of Chen Zijin. The pretentious girl would not easily compromise until they were overwhelmed.

At least, it was inconsistent with her usual pride to give in before trying to defeat them.

Seeing him looking at her seriously, she suppressed her arrogance a little, her eyebrows curved, and she said softly:

"Don't get me wrong, not all girls can't resist the temptation of your handsome face."

Li Heng laughed after hearing this, and he also knew why she was holding on so stubbornly.
He probably couldn't accept that he liked Song Yu so much, so he would rather give up the opportunity to get closer to each other.

He sighed secretly. In fact, if she didn't mind, he would be very willing to be with her first.

Anyway, it’s Song Yu and Xiao Han, so it doesn’t matter who I rescue first.

But he also understood that Xiao Han and Song Yu were not so easy to deal with, as they both had their own dignity and pride.

Li Heng was not discouraged even though his attempt failed.

After all, I had been rejected several times by Song Yu before, so it was normal to have a chance here once, and it felt more like a balance.

Li Heng came to his senses and said confidently, "Then you can treat me to dinner as an apology."

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and was forced to do business. He said pitifully, "Okay."
