Chapter 9 I Only Believe in You 5
After comforting Su Han and finding that she was not completely sober yet, Xu Zhe simply let her continue to sleep well and went downstairs alone to continue helping his parents chat with the guests and to promote his upcoming art exhibition.
"Xu Zhe, can I talk to you for a minute?"
Qin Mumu leaned against the pillar in the living room. The light from the crystal chandelier made her gorgeous cherry blossom dress even more dazzling, but she looked lonely, as if she was alone outside the crowd.
Suddenly, Xu Zhe seemed to see Qin Mumu when she was a child. When they played hide-and-seek, she liked to hide behind this pillar, ready to rush over and hug his legs and call him "Brother Xu Zhe" when he found her.
Qin Mumu drank a lot of wine. She looked up at Xu Zhe who was looking down at her, with a stubborn beauty on her face: "Brother Xu Zhe, I really want to go back to the past. In this way...you will be mine alone."
Xu Zhe took the half glass of red wine from her hand and shook his head: "Don't be silly, I always left you alone at that time!"
"But... I thought as long as I followed closely, you would stay with me forever, until Su Han showed up... I was so angry, you never looked at me like that before."
Xu Zhe was silent for a while: "I'm sorry, I always treated you as my sister, but Su Han is the person I fell in love with at first sight, so no matter what, if you dare to hurt her, I will not let you go."
Qin Mumu looked at his face in disbelief, and when she found out that what he said was true, her whole body began to tremble. Xu Zhe did not walk away, but waited for her answer calmly. After a long time, Qin Mumu regained her previous elegance.
"Then...can I talk to Su Han for a few words? Don't worry, I won't say anything weird to her. Just trust me one last time, okay?"
Tears welled up in her eyes. Xu Zhe looked at her deeply and finally nodded.
After Su Han came down from upstairs, Qin Mumu asked her to meet on the lawn outside the door. There were not many people there. The moonlight shone through the thick clouds. There were only a few sparsely scattered stars in the night sky. Clear water flowed out of the fountain not far away, making a pleasant sound.
Su Han felt the night breeze for a while and became much more sober than before. Qin Mumu, who was standing opposite her, stared at her deeply for a while and suddenly smiled.
"Su Han, we haven't actually had a good chat! Because of Xu Zhe, I have always hated you."
Su Han was very surprised why she was looking for him, so he remained alert: "Yes."
Qin Mumu smiled, as if she recalled something, and looked at the stars in the sky with a distant gaze.
"I did a lot of wrong things today. When I think about it carefully, I feel really sorry for you, but I don't regret it either. After all, everything that happened today made me realize that Xu Zhe could never like me."
"You know what? He was the leader of the kids since he was little. All the girls in the class liked him, but he never liked anyone before. So I thought that as long as I kept pestering him, he would be mine... But do you remember the first time? I was downstairs from your house, and that time, he yelled at me for you... From that time on, I felt really scared."
Qin Mumu looked a little drunk, her cheeks flushed, and she didn't give Su Han a chance to interrupt.
"Originally, I thought Xu Zhe's feelings for you were one-sided. As long as you couldn't see his good side, he would still come back... But that time in the hospital, I realized that I was too naive. You also liked him... I was so stupid. What girl in the world wouldn't like him?"
Su Han shook her head, thinking of his constant little surprises and romance, and his unremitting efforts to pamper her every day, and she smiled unconsciously.
Qin Mumu touched the tears that had already slid down her cheeks. "Please, don't smile so happily, okay? I promised Xu Zhe that I won't bully you anymore. If you continue to smile so happily, I can't guarantee that I can hold it back!"
"By the way, did Xu Zhe give you the angel necklace? I saw him sketching it for an independent designer , and I guessed it was for you. Oh, when have I ever seen such a romantic Xu Zhe? How about it, do you like the necklace?"
Su Han felt as if her whole body was electrocuted and began to tremble... Was that angel necklace designed by Xu Zhe himself? She seemed to have thrown it away in a fit of anger, and now she didn't know where she threw it!
"Forget it. I'm really asking for trouble by asking you this. Just like today, I planned so much, but the result is just to prove once again that his love for you is so deep, even beyond my imagination."
"Because it's you, he can't stand the slightest bit of hurt, and you're the person he trusts the most... Oh my God! I can't say any more, how can he love you so much? This is the first time I've seen him vulnerable, the first time I've seen him lose his temper, and all of this is because of you!"
"Cherish him, Su Han. If one day I find out that he is no longer happy with you, I will still have a chance to snatch him away from you!"
There was a layer of mist in Qin Mumu's big almond-shaped eyes, but her expression was very stubborn. She looked straight at Su Han, as if she must get her guarantee.
Su Han couldn't explain how she felt at the moment. She had never seen Qin Mumu so talkative before. But it was precisely because of Qin Mumu's words that her heart couldn't help but beat violently, so fast, as if every cell in her body was calling out this person's name...Xu Zhe, Xu Zhe!
"I will make him happy. Thank you, Qin Mumu, thank you for telling me this."
After saying goodbye to Qin Mumu, she trotted to Xu Zhe and hugged his thin waist tightly from behind. Xu Zhe was startled, and when he felt the familiar body temperature, he couldn't help but smile and make a joke.
"What happened? I was attacked by a mysterious girl at my doorstep?"
"Xu Zhe, let me hug you tightly," Su Han pressed against his back, listening to his steady heartbeat, "I like you so much."
"I know... What's wrong, did anything happen?" Xu Zhe gently turned her around and stroked her hair.
"No, nothing happened ..." Su Han buried her head in his chest, took a deep breath, and raised her head, "I'm sorry, I lost the angel necklace you gave me."
Xu Zhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled like a spring flower: "It's okay, I'll give you a better one, I hope you won't dislike it this time."
Su Han raised her head, looked deeply into his eyes, and said seriously: "Xu Zhe, from now on, I will cherish everything you give me."
