As Han Junche left the research building, his gaze never left the ring on Chi Xia's hand.
When Chi Xia gave him the ring before, he was quite uneasy, afraid that Chi Xia would take this opportunity to return the ring to him and then not want it anymore.
At that time, everyone's attention was focused on the glass, and no one noticed him.
Han Junche wondered if he was a bit of a love-struck fool, otherwise why would he be concerned about the ring at that moment?
Fortunately, Chi Xia did not take this opportunity to quietly return the ring to him as he had expected.
His anxious heart finally settled down after Chi Xia put the ring back on.
Lin Yi and the others glanced at Han Junche, then left with smiles on their faces.
Only Han Junche and Chi Xia remained, walking slowly side by side behind.
Once Lin Yi and the others had disappeared from sight, Han Junche said, "Uncle Yin and Yin Wanrou have already left the base."
Chi Xia looked down at her toes and softly replied, "Mm."
The two fell silent again.
After a while, Han Junche spoke again: "Are you cold?"
"Hmm?" Chi Xia thought he was about to say some cheesy pickup line again, so she looked up at him.
Han Junche didn't say anything, but instead took her hand and held it in his palm, feeling it for a moment before saying, "Hmm, your hand isn't cold, so it shouldn't be cold."
Chi Xia found his expression amusing. Her gaze fell on their clasped hands, and she deliberately asked, "Since you know I'm not cold, why don't you let go of me?"
"I won't let go." Han Junche gripped her hand even tighter: "Every time I let go, you run away very fast."
Hearing this, Chi Xia stopped moving and let him lead her forward.
After walking for a while, Chi Xia suddenly asked, "Don't you think I'm being dramatic? Or petty?"
Han Junche paused, glanced at her, and shook his head decisively: "No."
"Really?" Chi Xia was a little skeptical: "I think I'm being a bit petty and it's not fair to you. I originally wanted to make it up to you, but since you don't think so, then forget it."
Upon hearing this, Han Junche's face stiffened: "It's not that I don't think so at all."
"Oh!"
Chi Xia stopped in her tracks and glared at him: "So you still think I'm petty and unreasonable!"
Han Junche: ...
Rarely, seeing his bewildered and innocent expression, Chi Xia chuckled, turned around, straightened the wrinkles in his clothes, and said with a smile, "Okay, I was just teasing you."
Han Junche breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled with a mixture of helplessness and doting affection.
Chi Xia smiled and took his hand to lead him forward, saying with a sigh, "When I was pursuing you, I was attracted to your aloof and noble appearance. I never imagined that you would be so cute after you fell in love."
Han Junche was stunned. He never expected that the word "cute" would be associated with him.
Chi Xia gently waved her hand: "People say that when two people are together, whoever loves more deeply is the loser. Who do you think will win and who will lose between us?"
"It doesn't matter." Han Junche looked at her deeply: "In a relationship, one person always has to give in first. It can be me or it can be you. It doesn't matter who wins or loses. What matters is that we will always be together."
"Okay." Chi Xia nodded. "So, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
Han Junche: ? ? ?
