But he brought her fingers to his lips...
At that moment, Tian Xin’s heart felt like it was going to jump out.
Perhaps it isn’t so easy for a woman to remain calm around a man she’s once been intimate with!
She evasively closed her eyes in that instant.
Tang Baijin knew she wasn’t ready; he didn’t scare her but let her go, smiling lightly, "Is there any more soup to drink?"
"Yes, in the kitchen..." Tian Xin immediately stood up, then hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Tang Baijin watched her fleeing back and thought to himself that as a successful hunter, he needed to know when to cast the net, when to leave an escape route, and when to capture his prey.
Indeed, he was a bit anxious, but how could he not be moved by this scene?
Tian Xin ran to the kitchen, and looking at her reflection in the glass, she wondered if she had overstepped the bounds with him?
She knew she couldn’t handle being so close to him; she thought she had forgotten what happened that day on the island!
But, some things are not so easily forgotten!
Just like how she occasionally still thinks of Yang Junyi, she’s beginning to despise herself—sometimes there are two men in her dreams!
She must have been single for too long; that must be why these wild thoughts are creeping into her head!
She decided that after cooking this meal, she would leave. As she came out with the soup, she saw Tang Baijin on the phone: "There’s an issue at the construction site, okay, I’ll be right over!"
He hung up the phone, didn’t even change his clothes, and headed outside: "I’m going to the construction site, not sure when I’ll be back. You should head home early and not worry Auntie."
Tian Xin watched him leave and let out a sigh of relief.
Perhaps he really meant nothing by it. She shouldn’t overthink it. Thinking this, she started to feel more optimistic.
However, what she didn’t know was that Tang Baijin didn’t actually have urgent matters to attend to. He was just pretending to leave and was killing time in the coffee shop downstairs. He could tell that the little bunny was planning to run away, and he probably scared her!
Better to let the little bunny think of escaping than for the big bad wolf to leave first.
Tian Xin had her fill at his place, cleaned up the kitchen, washed and hung up his clothes in the room before leaving.
Tang Baijin saw that she left an hour later. Returning home, he saw the neat house and the clothes just hung out in the sun. Burying his face in them, smelling the scent of soap, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction...
Little bunny, you can’t escape!
When he understood what kind of life he wanted, and what type of woman he wanted to share it with, everything became clear as if a path of flowers was laid out before him.
Of course, he didn’t tell her that he had promised Tian’s mother he would date her with marriage in mind. He knew she hadn’t moved on from her feelings for Yang Junyi.
Being a kind and silly girl, he was willing to open her heart knot, give her time to adjust, willing to wait for the day she falls in love with him.
Of course, he had quietly paid for Song Xuyao’s medical expenses when Tian’s mother was short on cash. The despicable have their pitiable sides too; Song Xuyao was indeed hateful but also a man of deep affection.
He’s indifferent towards money; he didn’t care about it and didn’t want the family to know what he had done.
Tang Baijin lit a cigarette; he needed to start planning a place, personally design a house for their marriage, to see her move into the house he designed, to live with him.
Radio.
After Ji Su finished her broadcast, she didn’t want to go home.
She walked out of the radio station leisurely, then facing the late spring evening breeze, suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of melancholy.
Suddenly, with a "squeak," a car stopped beside her.
He Chenxiang got out of the car, then opened the door, "Hurry up, get in, there’s no time to lose!"
"What’s the matter?" Ji Su, seeing his urgency, forgot to ask and hurried into the car, buckling the seatbelt.
He Chenxiang didn’t tell her, but he drove to the seaside, checking his wristwatch as he went.
When Ji Su arrived at the beach with him, she saw a heart-shaped pattern made with candles, with burning candlelight surrounding the LED lights spelling out "Happy Birthday"!
She couldn’t believe her eyes when she looked at him—it was her 30th birthday!
He Chenxiang also gazed at her—he had seen her birthday on her hospital records: "Quick, make a wish! It’s almost past midnight!"
"You’re studying abroad, and you believe in this too?" Ji Su smiled gently, yet with deep emotion.
"Some traditions shouldn’t be discarded!" said He Chenxiang.
Ji Su never expected such a surprise on her 30th birthday!
A woman’s 20th birthday is romantic!
A 30th birthday on an ordinary day is touching!
She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the candles around her, the flames jumping with the sea breeze.
"Miss Ji, happy birthday!" He Chenxiang opened his arms to her.
Ji Su stepped forward and threw herself into his embrace, sobbing, "Thank you..."
The scent of the sea breeze, the scent of a man who cared for her, was silently spreading through this night.
He looked down at her, while she, embarrassedly wiped away her tears, not wanting others to see her vulnerability.
He Chenxiang reached out and gently wiped the tears from her cheek.
Ji Su felt shy; she struggled free of his embrace, then said, "Doctor He, you can really move me..."
Her words were abruptly cut off by the sound of her phone.
Ji Su took it out and her expression changed.
Of course, at such a beautiful moment, she didn’t want to answer the phone, so she put it back in her purse and turned it off when it rang again.
Ji Su seemed to have made a decision and said to He Chenxiang, "Doctor He..."
His eyes were intently focused on her, anticipating her answer.
"I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me. I need to sort out my own issues first before I can peacefully be with you. Can you give me some time?" said Ji Su softly.
He Chenxiang was overjoyed, "Of course! If there’s anything I can help with, just ask!"
