Xia Qingyi thought for a while to confirm that she had not drank alcohol at all. She had probably blushed due to the stuffiness of the room. Mo Han’s hand was very cold, and she was a little uncomfortable when he had suddenly touched her.

“I didn’t…” Xia Qingyi’s tone was incredibly soft as she spoke.

Mo Han felt that it was even more likely that she had drank after hearing her voice. “Did you drink it yourself, or did someone else ask you to drink…? How many times did I tell you not to drink alcohol…? Why can’t you remember?!” Mo Han sighed as he glanced at Xia Qingyi, who looked like she was in a daze. “Never mind, you’ll forget everything that I’m saying now when you’re sober.”

Mo Han said, “From now on, you can only stay next to me and not anywhere else, in case you go around creating trouble again.”

Xia Qingyi stood up while still leaning on the wall. “What kind of trouble could I create?”

Mo Han looked at her. There was a faint feeling that she was acting slightly differently today compared to how she usually acted when she was drunk. “Never mind. The gathering is going to end anyway, and they should be leaving soon. I should be able to control you alone.”

However, Xia Qingyi walked closer to him as she stared into his eyes. She said, word by word, “Was the trouble… that you were saying…”

She pulled onto Mo Han’s collar as she stood slightly on the tip of her toes and kissed him on his lips. “This…?”

There was not much fluctuation of emotion on Mo Han’s face, as if he had already expected that she would do this. He supported Xia Qingyi on her waist as he looked into her eyes when he suddenly noticed that Xia Qingyi’s eyes were unexpectedly sober after drinking tonight. It felt like a kiss by a real pair of lovers, and he could not help but to want to sink into it.

And that was why he had jumped into it willingly.

Mo Han corrected her, “It was like this.”

His hand moved up to support the back of Xia Qingyi’s head decisively to make her lean on him entirely. He tilted his head slightly and kissed her lips. She did not fight back, as she leaned on him as if she did not have a backbone. She let Mo Han’s tongue enter her mouth and twirled around her own. Xia Qingyi could hear Mo Han’s faint pants, which unexpectedly gave her a sense of comfort, as if this was all what ought to be.

After having been kissed by him for a while, Xia Qingyi felt drained throughout her body. Her head that was originally a little dizzy from in the room became dizzier, to the point where she felt that she had a lack of oxygen. As a result, Xia Qingyi could only hit Mo Han a few times to make him stop.

Xia Qingyi stared at him with hazy eyes. There was still some silvery glaze on his lips as he stared at her too. Neither of them spoke.

Xia Qingyi breathed in and out slowly before she hugged Mo Han. She said softly in his embrace, “Let’s try, Mo Han.”

Mo Han froze, as his body became stiff.

“Did you not realize that there wasn’t a trace of alcohol in my mouth when you kissed me earlier?” Xia Qingyi said calmly in his embrace.

Mo Han really did not know how to react.

“I’m asking you a question…” Xia Qingyi said as she let go of his hand to stand in front of him.

“What did you mean… about trying?”

Xia Qingyi said, “We… let’s try to be together… I realized that I cannot treat you as an older brother anymore… so, let’s try. If there was a day where you no longer like me, or I no longer like you… then we can break up… okay…?”

“Have you thought clearly?” Mo Han said.

Xia Qingyi nodded, “Yes… if we were to break up one day… I wouldn’t disturb your life, and you shouldn’t disturb mine too… let’s just do it nicely, alright?”

Mo Han could feel that she was more serious than she had ever been.

He said, “Okay.”

The two of them had continued to keep quiet without a word as they both stood at the corridor. After a while, people started to walk out from the room. They saw Mo Han and his younger sister standing at the far end of the corridor and walked towards them. “Hey… what are you two standing here for…?”

Mo Han heard it and glanced at Xia Qingyi once before the two of them walked over.

“Are you done eating?” Mo Han asked.

“We were done eating quite a while ago and were chatting in the room. We came out after seeing that the two of you haven’t come back in a while.” Liu Zhiyuan said. He asked when he saw Xia Qingyi’s red face, “Xia Xia, why is your face so red?”

Xia Qingyi replied, “It’s too stuffy in the room, so I feel a little warm.”

They walked out of the restaurant with the few people that had just walked out of the room. Surprisingly, Xia Qingyi spoke very little on the way. Even after everyone had left, and they were the only two people remaining, Xia Qingyi continued to stay quiet as Mo Han drove her home. She rested her head on her palm as she quietly stared into the view outside the car window.

It was already eleven P.M and there was a slight coolness in the wind at night. The air also smelled a little damp as the bright street lights were thrown behind them. Mo Han drove really slowly as the two of them did not seem to be in a rush. They seemed to be slowly appreciating the view outside during the ride.

“You can’t possibly be regretting it, can you?” Mo Han asked.

Xia Qingyi looked at him and laughed, “No. It just feels a little unreal.”

“You’re already my girlfriend now. There’s no way out.” Mo Han said.

“I know.” Xia Qingyi asked him, “But I haven’t been in a relationship before. So I don’t know how we are going to act in the future.”

It was Mo Han’s turn to laugh this time. “We’ll act however you want to act, as long as you don’t run away.”

Xia Qingyi said, “Please don’t mind if I’m not doing very good. I will change slowly.”

Mo Han moved to hold her hands, as he interlaced their fingers together. “You don’t have to do anything, actually. I’m satisfied just with you by my side.”

Xia Qingyi stared at his hand. “If I… regain my memories in the future… and someone tells me he’s my boyfriend or husband again, what will you do?”

Mo Han paused before he held onto her hand tightly. He smiled. “Then we’ll see… if you like me more, or if you like that person more at that point… the decision lies with you.”

Mo Han continued to drive on. “Actually… I’m selfish too… I can’t be a person that is too generous… if you are boyfriend and girlfriend with that person, I will wait until the two of you break up… if you had married that person, I will wait until you’re divorced… I will still hope that you can be by my side as long there is a chance.”

“But… I will respect your decision… I cannot help you decide what type of life you choose to have… you’re the only one that can do it.”

Xia Qingyi stared at his side view as she leaned against the car seat with her head angled. Suddenly, she had faintly understood why she suddenly had the courage to try being in a relationship with him.

People like him deserve all the love from everyone.

She felt slightly happy about what she had done at the restaurant earlier. Maybe, she should have done this even earlier.

“Why are you looking at me?” Mo Han turned to ask her.

“Nothing, just looking at your handsomeness.”

Mo Han smiled. “Is it too late to know it only now? You were saying that I’m old a few days ago.”

“Well, compared to me, you are a little old.” Xia Qingyi retorted with a laugh.

“This is not old. It’s called maturity.” Mo Han said as the car drove into their housing estate.

Xia Qingyi looked ahead as she let go of his hand. “Are we home? That was fast.”

“It’s not early anymore. It’s already past 11 P.M.” Mo Han parked the car under their condominium block skillfully before he let Xia Qingyi get down from the car with her stuff.

After reaching home, the two of them entered the house and continued to do their own thing as per usual. They washed themselves up before going to sleep. Xia Qingyi was just about to enter her room when Mo Han stopped her. “Come here.”

“What happened?”

Mo Han beckoned her. “Come over for a while.”

Xia Qingyi walked over and Mo Han pulled her by the waist to kiss her gently on her lips. “Goodnight kiss.”

She pushed him away. “You scared me. I thought something had happened.”

“Have a nice sleep.” Mo Han said.

“Alright.” Xia Qingyi did not continued to speak with Mo Han. She rushed back to her room and hurriedly showered and got on the bed to sleep. She had a morning lesson the next day, so she had to wake up early.

The next day, Xia Qingyi hurriedly rushed out of her room, wanting to run to the porch to change her shoes and go out of the house. It was then that she saw Mo Han walk out from his room, dressed neatly and properly. He asked when he saw Xia Qingyi’s panicking state, “Do you want me to take you?”

Xia Qingyi lifted up her legs to wear her shoes as she used the chance to tidy her hair in the reflection available at the porch. “There’s no need to. There’s probably a huge jam outside. It would be slower if you take me.”

She opened the door with a hand carrying her bag. She waved behind her to Mo Han. “I’m leaving.”

Mo Han shouted from behind her, “I’ll come and fetch you after your class in the afternoon.”

The door shut with a loud bang right in front of Mo Han and he did not even know if Xia Qingyi had heard what he just said.

On the first day of them being together, everything continued as per their usual routine, though there were still some things that were secretly changing.

It was a type of blissfulness and happiness that could be felt in the air.

As a result, Mo Han was in a good mood for the entire day. Healso acted differently from how he was usually; when an assistant in the law firm had made a mistake and was waiting for be scolded while shivering with her head bowed. He had merely waved his hand and said, “It’s alright, just take note next time.”

In the afternoon, Barrister Wang, who had just entered the law firm, came to Mo Han’s office to get a document. He could not help but ask him a few things and chat about some private affairs with him when he saw that Mo Han’s mood was exceptionally good. That was why he continued to stand in front of his desk without leaving when Mo Han had passed him the document.

Mo Han asked him, “Is there anything else?”

Barrister Wang seemed to be a little embarrassed as he smiled. “Can I ask… for your younger sister’s mobile number?”

Mo Han said with his work-only voice, “Liu Zhiyuan should have her mobile number with him. You can ask him… also, is there any reason why you’re looking for her?”

Barrister Wang replied as he chuckled happily, “It’s nothing much. I just want to get to know her.”

Mo Han furrowed his eyebrows as he stared at him.

“During the meal last night, I thought that your younger sister was very beautiful when she smiled as she sat opposite of me. Why didn’t you tell us that you have such a pretty younger sister?”

“What should I say… should I say that my younger sister is really beautiful and that the few of you should quickly come and hit on her?” Mo Han was a little angry as he looked down, pretending that he was reading the document seriously.
