Chapter 365
Fang Su Jin was following him from behind closely. When he made an abrupt turn, Fang Su Jin could not stop in time and her nose bumped into his chest.
Her nose turned sour. When Fang Su Jin looked up again, her eyes had already turned a little red.
Zhang Yi Hai looked at the woman in front of him anxiously.
He wondered if Fang Su Jin was made of water. It seemed that she could cry easily.
Seeing that her tears had started to flow down her cheek, Zhang Yi Hai subconsciously raised his hand and wiped the tears with his finger.
The warm feeling from his finger against her cheek startled her.
Fang Su Jin took a step back in a hurry. Her action almost caused her to fall back. Fortunately, Zhang Yi Hai stretched out his hand in time and held her waist just in time.
“Sister Fang, are you alright?” Zhang Yi Hai asked.
.....
Fang Su Jin raised her head and met Zhang Yi Hai’s gaze. Her eyes widened upon realizing that they were too close to each other. Their noses were just inches from each other. If she had leaned in a little bit...
Her breath hitched.
All of the sudden, Fang Su Jin recalled all those dramas that she has been watching.
The scene right now... wasn’t it similar to the one she had watched previously? The female lead slipped on something and was about to fall when the male lead caught her in time.
It was one of the cliche scenes she often saw in her drama, but each time that it happen, it never failed to make her squeal. This exact scene from that drama was happening to her at this moment.
Her heartbeat accelerated.
Fang Su Jin found that she was unable to look away from that person.
She had always thought that Zhang Yi Hai’s eyes were similar to his sister, but now that she looked at them again, she realized that his eyes were more similar to his mother’s. They were quite... gentle.
“Sister Fang?”
Fang Su Jin snapped out of her trance.
“Are you alright? Can you stand?”
Fang Su Jin nodded. “I think so...”
“Then, I’ll release you, alright?”
Fang Su Jin nodded again. Then, Zhang Yi Hai helped her to stand properly. Once she was standing on her two feet again, Fang Su Jin took a step back, creating a distance from Zhang Yi Hai.
“I’m sorry,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “I did not mean to startle you.”
Fang Su Jin waved her hand. “It’s alright. It was me who are not careful enough.”
“Does it hurt?” Zhang Yi Hai stared at her reddened nose.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Zhang Yi Hai continued to observe her for a while. Seeing that she was really alright, he finally heaved a breath in relief. After a while, he took out a packet of tissue paper from his pocket and handed it over to Fang Su Jin.
“Sister Fang, you should wipe your eyes with this.”
“Oh.” Fang Su Jin took the packet from him. “Thank you.” A few seconds later, Fang Su Jin realized that Zhang Yi Hai was still watching her. Fang Su Jin looked at him awkwardly. “That... should we go back now?”
“Mmm...” Zhang Yi Hai finally retracted his eyes away from her.
It was only then that Fang Su Jin felt more at ease.
Seeing that Zhang Yi Hai had started to walk again, Fang Su Jin quickly went after him. However, after a few steps, Zhang Yi Hai made a stop again. This time, he was careful enough not to make Fang Su Jin run into him again.
“What’s wrong?”
“Sister Fang, don’t walk behind me,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “It would be dangerous if you accidentally run into me again.”
“Oh.” Fang Su Jin walked over to his side. Then, the two of them walked to the elevator together, side by side.
Zhang Yi Hai lowered his gaze as he tried to match Fang Su Jin’s pace. It was then that she realized that Fang Su Jin would walk slowly. Without realizing it, the corner of his lips began to tilt up.
Their journey back to Fang Su Jin’s place was very quiet.
The two of them were feeling a little awkward with each other after the little accident at the mall.
Sitting in the passenger’s seat, Fang Su Jin could not help but steal a few glances at Zhang Yi Hai again.
Her heart was beating hard each time the scene at the mall appeared in her mind. It felt as if there were a thousand deer running stampede in her heart.
This was not the first time that she had felt this way. In fact, recently, this feeling had occurred more frequently each time she ran into Zhang Yi Hai again.
She could not remember just when she began to have this feeling... As far as she could remember, Zhang Yi Hai has always been like a little brother to her.
Fang Su Jin felt as if she should say something to break the silence. In the end, she did not know what she could say to him. Other than Zhang Li Xue, it seemed that the two of them did not have anything that they could talk about.
Fang Su Jin kept hesitating about making her first move. When she looked up again, Fang Su Jin realized that Zhang Yi Hai had entered her house area.
A faint sigh escaped her. Fang Su Jin was feeling a bit disappointed with herself.
After a while, the vehicle pulled over in front of her house.
Zhang Yi Hai turned to Fang Su Jin and spoke, “Sister Fang, we’re here.”
“Oh.” Fang Su Jin fumbled with the door and alighted quickly. Taking a deep breath, she held the art supplies bag in her hand and looked at Zhang Yi Hai with a smile. “Zhang Yi Hai, thank you.”
“Mmm...” Zhang Yi Hai nodded. “You’re welcome. Sister Fang, it’s getting colder. You should go in first.”
“Then, I will see you around again,” Fang Su Jin spoke before she turned around to leave.
Zhang Yi Hai stayed at the spot and watched the woman until she entered the house. Once he could no longer see her, Zhang Yi Hai finally retracted his gaze. His eyes shifted to the hand that was wrapped around Fang Su Jin’s waist a while ago.
