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.
“What if?” Xiao Han said with disdainful laughter.
“If I lose, I'll move to sit next to the trash can at the back of the classroom,” Jiang Xiaoliang snapped, banging on the desk as he stood up angrily.
“Fine,” Xiao Han nodded, saying, “Those are your words.”
“A gentleman's agreement,” Jiang Xiaoliang scoffed.
Since it had come to this, and there was an opportunity to fight for it, he might as well give it his all.
Frankly, Jiang Xiaoliang's grades weren't bad, it's just that he had come up against Xiao Han. He had already suffered a crushing defeat last time, and this time he wanted to make a comeback through the mock exam, but alas, he was doomed to a miserable loss. A very miserable one.
A strange smile curled at the corners of Jiang Xiaoliang's mouth as if he was sure of victory.
“Since you've agreed on this among yourselves, then proceed as you've arranged!” Teacher Liu did not object to the students betting. On the contrary, she was somewhat encouraging of such wagers that could stimulate the students' potential.
With Teacher Liu's support, Jiang Xiaoliang was even more smug.
Xiao Han grabbed his backpack and walked out.
Li Dapang hadn't come to school in the morning, probably busy with other matters. You have to understand, this guy was busy every day; the work at Hanmen had stabilized, but there were still many things he needed to handle, such as the security guards' wages, utility bills, and rent. Now that the store on the pedestrian street was about to open, Li Dapang was even busier.
“Xiao Han!” Yang Lu stood at the school gate, waving to Xiao Han as soon as he came out.
Xiao Han looked around for a moment, then hurried over and asked, “How come you've come to the school to find me? Is there something that couldn't have been handled by Li Dapang?”
“I…” Yang Lu showed a look of difficulty, saying, “I just felt so happy that I came to find you.”
“What's up?” Xiao Han asked curiously.
“All the company documents have been processed.” Yang Lu was thrilled and said, “The business and tax offices kept telling me to wait, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to open before Christmas. But to my surprise, in just a week, they called to notify me to collect the materials. Hehe…”
“Oh?” Xiao Han was somewhat surprised.
Logically speaking, the efficiency of government offices is notoriously slow. Moreover, if you don't offer a bribe, they might not even process it for you. So, few people can handle these things without running into some trouble or other complications. That Yang Lu could do it so smoothly inevitably made Xiao Han wonder, “Did you… give them red envelopes?”
“No!” Yang Lu shook her head, saying, “Actually, I was just about to do that, but they called me to come to collect the documents before I could. At first, I thought they wanted to ask me for red envelopes, but when I got there, I found they were very polite and seemed to have a very good service attitude.”
“That's strange.” Xiao Han was somewhat puzzled.
“Hehe, who cares, as long as I got the documents.” Yang Lu giggled, then said, “Xiao Han, when do you think is a good time for the grand opening?”
“The goods from the provincial city will arrive in the next few days.” Xiao Han looked at Yang Lu and said, “You go hire a few store clerks, we may need to start stocking up the shelves. These next days are probably going to be busy.”
“Mhm, got it.” Yang Lu nodded.
For Xiao Han, the opening of this store was very important because it was his first venture in life. If this first venture were to fail, it would deal him a tremendous blow, not only financially but also a heavy mental defeat. If it were to succeed, it would certainly be a great encouragement for him.
No sooner had Yang Lu left than Chen Zihan rode out of the school on an electric bike.
“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.
