Some things can't be understood by others unless they happen to you. Advising someone to be magnanimous or to forget is easy to say, but very difficult to do.
Li Han understood Zhang Xin's feelings, so he didn't rush to confess his love or make any promises. He knew that they were both past the age of impulsively expressing love and making promises. For them now, doing one thing is worse than saying a thousand words.
Li Han looked up at the light in the room upstairs. He had no intention of going in to say goodbye to Zhang Xin, nor did he expect Zhang Xin to come out on her own initiative.
He didn't want to put pressure on her, and he didn't want his feelings to become a burden for her.
He just wanted to stand there, look at the light in her room, and silently keep her company for a while.
The lights upstairs went out. Li Han exhaled a breath of hot air and walked towards his own apartment.
However, he had only taken two steps when he heard the door open. He turned around and saw Zhang Xin walking out carrying a trash bag.
Li Han isn't as naive as Liu Daniu; he wouldn't take it seriously and assume that Zhang Xin just happened to be throwing away trash.
He stood downstairs for nearly two hours. Her room was directly opposite upstairs, and a quick glance through the floor-to-ceiling window revealed him to be downstairs.
She knew he was downstairs, but she still came out...
The thought of what this meant made Li Han's hands, which were in his pockets, tremble slightly.
He tried his best to control his excitement, coughed lightly, and called her name softly: "Zhang Xin".
Upon hearing Zhang Xin's name, Zhang Xin paused, lowered her eyes, threw the trash bag into the trash can, turned around, and hummed in response.
Li Han took two steps forward, stopping two steps away from her. He looked at the silhouette cast by her long eyelashes under her eyelids, and after a moment of silence, said, "I...I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Zhang Xin hummed in agreement again, and then fell silent.
Li Han suddenly felt that his intelligence was trending towards Liu Daniu's level. She had finally taken the first step towards him, but he didn't know what to say.
There was a moment of silence.
Zhang Xin and Li Han stood silently, two steps apart.
Li Han racked his brains, trying to think of something he could say that wouldn't make her retreat back into her shell.
Will you miss me?
No, no, no, that's too abrupt; she'll definitely run away in fright.
Why aren't you asleep yet?
No, no, no, this sounds like they're trying to shoo people away.
Just as Li Han was getting anxious and at a loss, Zhang Xin spoke up: "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
Hearing this, Li Han's excited heart suddenly calmed down. He felt that this was enough. He saw her before he left, she knew his feelings and responded, and that was enough.
There's plenty of time in the future, so there's no need to rush.
He smiled at Zhang Xin and nodded slightly: "Okay."
"What a load of rubbish!"
As soon as Zhang Xin left, Chunli, who had been hiding in her room spying on her, couldn't help but open the window and yell at Li Han with exasperation, "What are you talking about next to the trash can? Is it because of the smell or the atmosphere? At a time like this, you should have asked Sister Zhang to walk with you! How can you be even dumber than Liu Daniu!"
After saying this, Chunli slammed the window shut and said angrily, "Ugh, this is so frustrating! You're so stupid!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xin and Li Han both felt embarrassed.
Looking at Zhang Xin, whose ears were slightly red, Li Han suddenly realized that Chunli was right; he was too stupid.
So he slightly raised the corners of his lips and said, "Could you walk with me for a bit?"
Fearing she might disagree, Li Han quickly added, "It'll be over in a minute, it won't take you long."
