Love So Sweet

Zhang Yi Hai helped Fang Su Jin with the door when he suddenly recalled an important matter. His parents were in Capital City and it would be troublesome if they showed up at his apartment unannounced.

Before his parents could give him another surprise, it was better for him to check on their whereabouts.

Zhang Yi Hai picked up his phone and dialed his mother’s number. The phone call was connected after a few rings.

“Yi Hai?” Li Qin Yao’s voice was heard on the other line. “What’s the matter?”

Zhang Yu Hai coughed. “Nothing. I just wanted to know if you wanted to have dinner with me?”

There was a brief silence before Li Qin Yao spoke again. “Zhang Yi Hai, we saw each other a few hours ago. Don’t tell me that you already missed your mother?” Li Qin Yao laughed.

The corner of his lips began to twitch.

“My son, if you are this clingy to your mother, how are you going to find yourself a girlfriend later?”

.....

Zhang Yi Hai really wanted to tell his mother that he already have a girlfriend and that his girlfriend was just beside him.

“Mom...” Zhang Yi Hai heaved helplessly.

“Alright, I’ll stop joking with you,” Li Qin Yao said. “Your Aunt Xing Xing and Uncle Lu Xun knew that your dad and I are in Capital City. They invited us to have dinner at their place. Yi Hai, do you want to join us as well.”

“No need. I still have some assignments to do. Mom, you and dad should enjoy. Don’t forget to send my regards to everyone.”

The mother and son exchanged brief words before they ended the call.

Zhang Yi Hai let out a breath of relief, knowing that his parents would not be around to sneak on him and his girlfriend. He turned around and found that Fang Su Jin was still waiting for him.

He walked over to her side and stretched his hand. “Su Jin, let’s go.”

Fang Su Jin stared at his hand and hesitated.

Now that they were at the parking lot Fang Su Jin began to think of how dangerous it was for her to come to Zhang Yi Hai’s apartment.

A woman and a man, sitting alone in an apartment. A lot of things could happen between them.

Fang Su Jin wanted to change her mind and leave. However, upon seeing the anticipation on Zhang Yi Hai’s face, Fang Su Jin finally put her hand into his.

Then, she saw the bright smile on his face.

Fang Su Jin decided not to think too much.

Her relationship with Zhang Yi Hai had only begun. Zhang Yi Hai should want to get to know her deeply first before they would move to another stage.

Moreover, she had known Zhang Yi Hai for years. She should trust that he had a good morals and he was not someone who would take advantage of others.

The ding from the elevator snapped her out of her trance. Fang Su Jin followed Zhang Yi Hai out and reached his apartment. She stared at the door and her heartbeat accelerated.

“Su Jin.”

His voice snapped her out of her thought. Fang Su Jin turned and saw that Zhang Yi Hai was looking at her. “Huh?”

“Put your thumb here.”

Without giving it a thought, Fang Su Jin followed Zhang Yi Hai’s instruction and placed her thumb on the scanner. “Like this?

“Fingerprint recorded.”

The voice from the machine surprised her. It did not take her too long to figure out that Zhang Yi Hai had recorded her fingerprint in his apartment. “This... what are you doing? Why do you record my fingerprint? Don’t you know it’s dangerous?”

“What’s wrong with letting my girlfriend have the access to my apartment?” Zhang Yi Hai said. “This is good. The next time, you can come over whenever you want.”

The young man was looking at her intently and Fang Su Jin began to feel shy again. “Who wants to come over to your apartment?”

Zhang Yi Hai saw that his girlfriend was shy and decided not to tease her anymore.

He pushed the door and entered. Then, he realized that he did not have a pair of slippers for Fang Su Jin.

When he moved in into this apartment, Zhang Yi Hai did not plan to invite anyone here. He also did not expect that he would be able to invite Fang Su Jin to his place this early.

Zhang Yi Hai let out a cough. “I haven’t prepared any slippers for a guest yet.” He put down his pair of slippers in front of Fang Su Jin and continued, “Su Jin, you wear this one first.”

Without waiting for her reply, Zhang Yi Hai turned and headed to the living room to switch on the light.

Fang Su Jin stared at the pair of slippers in front of her. After a while, she finally put it on. The slippers were too big for her feet. Looking at them made her smile.

“Su Jin, do you want to drink anything?”

Fang Su Jin followed the voice and saw that Zhang Yi Hai was standing at the kitchen entrance. “Water is fine.”

Zhang Yi Hai nodded before he opened his cabinet and took out a glass.

Meanwhile, Fang Su Jin took this chance to observe the surroundings.

Zhang Yi Hai’s apartment was not that big, but it should be comfortable for him to live alone. Before she came to his apartment, Fang Su Jin had expected that Zhang Yi Hai’s place would be a little boring and lifeless.

However, it seemed that she was wrong.

Zhang Yi Hai’s place was well decorated. Although the theme was still minimalized, the space looked quite cozy. Fang Su Jin could already imagine Zhang Yi Hai returning to this place after his classes to rest.

“Go ahead if you want to look around.”

Fang Su Jin looked at Zhang Yi Hai again and saw that he was holding a glass of water.

“Here, have a drink first.”

She reached for the glass and took a sip. “Then, I’ll go and look around first. Is there any room that I cannot enter?”

Zhang Yi Hai smiled. “Su Jin, you are free to enter anywhere you like.” A thought came to his mind. “That’s right.” He turned around and took out a cube of ice. Zhang Yi Hai wrapped it up with a handkerchief before handing it over to his girlfriend. “Don’t forget to ice your eyes.”

Her heart skipped a beat.

A woman and a man were alone in this apartment.

At this time, Fang Su Jin wondered if the person who would be in a dangerous position was Zhang Yi Hai instead.
