Even when she held a concert in the stadium with ten thousand people, Xia Cha had never been so nervous.
She bit her lip with her teeth, her long eyelashes lowered, as if she was thinking whether she should agree to Huo Heng’s request so quickly.
Just as she was about to answer, Huo Heng said, “I’m joking. I’ll call Royal Palace’s manager later. You can go over if you want to eat.”
With that said, Huo Heng walked toward Xia Cha.
Xia Cha met Huo Heng’s smiling eyes. He must have guessed her thoughts.
Her face heated up and she ran out with her heart thumping under everyone’s gaze.
Not long after, Huo Heng chased after her.
“Did I cause any trouble for you?”
The cool wind blew over and the heat on Xia Cha’s face dissipated.
She did not look at the man beside her, her clear eyes staring at her toes. “Let’s go watch a movie!”
She took a few steps forward.
She suddenly realized that the man was not following her.
She turned back to look at him.
Huo Heng walked up to her hesitantly. “Did you just say you want to go watch a movie with me?”
“That’s right. Aren’t you going?”
Huo Heng smiled. “Of course I am.”
At this moment, he was laughing like a big boy who had gotten a piece of his favourite candy, and was not as serious and cold as he had been during the conference earlier.
Before they arrived at the cinema, Huo Heng had already bought movie tickets on his phone.
After getting the tickets, Huo Heng went to buy popcorn and coke.
Xia Cha sat in the lounge and waited for him.
There were many people who were buying popcorn, and Huo Heng stood in line.
He was wearing an exquisite black shirt and perfectly ironed suit pants. His figure was tall and straight, and he exuded a noble air that was especially eye-catching as he stood there.
Several girls stood by the side and pushed each other around, before one was pushed out.
The girl walked to Huo Heng with her face red.
Because of the distance, Xia Cha couldn’t hear what the girl was saying to Huo Heng, but she saw Huo Heng turn around and look at Xia Cha very quickly.
Xia Cha understood two words from the way he spoke to the girl: girlfriend.
The girl glanced at Xia Cha and saw her. The girl lowered her head and apologized before leaving.
When the girls left, they deliberately passed Xia Cha.
They sized her up.
Xia Cha was wearing a white short shirt and tight jeans with her long hair draped over her shoulders. Her face was fair and smooth, exquisite, and classic. Girls would find her beautiful, not to mention boys.
Seeing the girls looking at her, Xia Cha smiled at them.
The girls fled in embarrassment.
After they had walked far away, one of the girls could not help but ask, “Don’t you all think that beautiful lady just now looks a little familiar?”
“Yes, I feel like she’s a celebrity.”
“I think she’s better-looking than a celebrity with her looks and aura.”
…
Huo Heng brought the food over and Xia Cha took a glass of coke. “Did that girl just ask for your contact details?”
“Yes, she wanted to add me on WeChat.”
Xia Cha smirked. “You’re quite popular, President Huo.”
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha. “I told her that you’re my girlfriend.”
Xia Cha was speechless.
After checking the tickets, Xia Cha quickly walked into the theater.
They sat in the middle. After they sat down, Huo Heng saw that Xia Cha was silent and narrowed his eyes slightly. “Are you angry?”
Xia Cha lowered her eyes and drank the coke. “What do you think?”
Huo Heng was silent for a few seconds. “I was too anxious.”
He had never been in such a pure relationship before. This was the first time he was so serious and patient in wooing a girl.
But he enjoyed it.
The movie started very quickly and the theater darkened.
Huo Heng had bought tickets to a popular Hollywood film.
The beginning was rather long, and Xia Cha felt sleepy.
Suddenly, a well-defined hand took the coke away.
The theater was dim, and Xia Cha looked at the man beside her from the corner of her eye.
He drank two mouthfuls of the drink, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down.
He put down the coke and suddenly thought of something, turning back to look at her.
“I took the wrong one.”
Xia Cha was speechless.
In order to relieve his embarrassment, Xia Cha asked him softly, “Did you used to come to the movies often?”
She remembered when he was still Huo Ze, he did not care to come to the cinema. After all, his family had a home theater.
“This is my first time,” he replied seriously.
“Have you watched movies with a girl you liked before?”
“I only like you.”
Hearing his words, Xia Cha knew that he had liked someone before, but she couldn’t help but feel pleased.
Her lips curled up subconsciously. Worried that he would see that something was wrong, she said seriously, “Continue to watch the movie!”
The story gradually got better, and Xia Cha stopped dazing out and focused on watching it.
In one scene, the protagonists, who had already broken up, met with danger and they got back together. The male protagonist hugged the female protagonist and kissed her.
Xia Cha saw the couples in front of her were now embracing each other.
Xia Cha shifted her eyes away awkwardly.
Just then, a large hand reached over and grabbed her hand.
Xia Cha was about to retract her hand when she heard the man’s slightly sullen voice. “I’m just going to hold your hand.”
Xia Cha looked at the man. The light on the screen shone on his face, flickering between light and darkness. The eyes looking at her were filled with an overwhelming affection.
Xia Cha did not struggle anymore and let him hold her.
…
They came out of the cinema.
Xia Cha really wanted to retract her hand from the man’s large palm.
But he held on tightly.
Xia Cha coughed. “My hands are all sweaty.”
He then let go.
They ate at the mall’s dining area.
By then, the sky had turned completely dark. They did not take a car, but instead walked along the road.
After walking a distance, Huo Heng saw the hotel in front. “I’m staying there. Do you want to go up and take a seat?”
Xia Cha looked at the expression in his eyes. Seeing that he was purely inviting her to go up, she nodded in agreement.
…
He was staying in the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel.
He poured a glass of milk and heated it before handing it to her.
Huo Heng received a call and he walked to the balcony to take it.
Xia Cha stood up and took a sip of milk. Seeing that Xiaofan had sent a message asking if she could return to the dormitory at night, she replied, “I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you just stop coming back? The person on duty has already left.”
“It’s not what you think.”
“Haha, I’m not thinking of anything.”
Xia Cha ignored Xiaofan. Seeing Huo Heng walk in after taking the call, she said, “Let’s sit and talk!”
Huo Heng pulled her onto the sofa.
Xia Cha looked at his handsome and thin chin and said softly, “Although I’m still a little afraid and don’t know if we’ll separate after we get together, I don’t want to test you anymore. Let’s officially be together!”
“But we can’t develop this relationship too quickly. You have to wait for me to graduate.”
When Huo Heng heard Xia Cha’s words, he knew what she was afraid of. Reaching out his long arm, he pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on the top of her head. He smelled the faint fragrance of her hair and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer like that again.”
“I’m already tied.”
