Zhang Xin looked up slightly and saw Li Han smiling. She sighed softly and finally nodded.
Seeing her nod, Li Han suddenly felt so excited he wanted to jump up and down to express his joy, but he managed to restrain himself and coughed lightly, "Then... let's go."
"Um."
Zhang Xin and Li Han walked side by side, the streetlights casting long shadows of the two of them.
Neither of them spoke; only their breaths appeared rhythmically and then disappeared.
Although the silence remained, no one felt awkward; instead, there was a sense of peaceful tranquility.
After walking for a long time, Li Han finally spoke: "I'm leaving tomorrow."
Zhang Xin blinked. He had already said this before, but she still patiently answered again: "Yes, I know."
Li Han licked his teeth, his hands clenched into fists nervously in his pockets. After a moment, he finally mustered up his courage and said, "When I get back, will you be my girlfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin paused in her steps. She hadn't expected that Li Han, who had always been so composed, would suddenly say something like that, and so directly at that.
Li Han stopped and turned to look at Zhang Xin.
He regretted it a little, regretting that he had asked such a question on impulse. He was too excited and almost forgot how timid and insecure Zhang Xin was.
Li Han's palms were sweating, and he hurriedly said, somewhat flustered, "It's okay if it's not good, I'm not in a hurry, I can wait slowly, don't be angry, and don't avoid me..."
Seeing his helpless expression, Zhang Xin sighed inwardly.
In his heart, how heartless must she be for him to become so cautious?
He was a good person. Even though she was clearly not good enough for him, he was the one who carefully tried to please her.
Zhang Xin let out a long breath, looked up to meet Li Han's gaze, and said softly, "I'm three years older than you."
Li Han thought she was making excuses to refuse, and without thinking, he said, "A woman three years older is like a golden brick. Don't say three years older, I'd even accept ten years older. Just think of me as someone who lacks maternal love."
Both of them were stunned by these words. Li Han was so annoyed that he wanted to bury his head in his chest.
What the hell did he say?
What is maternal love?
Isn't this blatantly implying that Zhang Xin is too old?!
Being stupid is contagious; he must stay away from Liu Daniu from now on!
Seeing his frustrated, downcast expression, Zhang Xin couldn't help but slightly raise her red lips.
She coughed lightly and continued, "Not only am I three years older than you, but I also have nothing. Although I come from the countryside, all I know how to do is heavy farm work; I can't even cook. You, on the other hand, are not only a doctor but also an excellent cook. You're also very beautiful, and many women at the base like you..."
“But I only like you.” Li Han looked up at Zhang Xin, his eyes full of seriousness and determination: “Whether others like me or not is not important to me. I only want you to like me.”
This was the first time Li Han had so openly expressed his love for Zhang Xin.
Zhang Xin's ears turned red: "But I'm not good. You know my past. I've been kept by a sugar daddy, I've sold my body, I've been married, and I even killed my husband. I..."
Li Han quickly interrupted her: "I've also been in love, and I've also killed my girlfriend."
“They are different.”
Zhang Xin sighed: "I'm not like you. Not only is my body dirty, but my soul is dirty too."
