Han Yi shook his head, "Vacation... How come you’re walking alone in such hot weather?"
"I..." Lin Wan just opened her mouth, then didn’t know how to express her feelings to Han Yi. Finally meeting him, she didn’t want to be reserved anymore. Lin Wan felt if she continued to be reserved, she really would have no chance.
Having lived another lifetime, it’s just a confession. They say the barrier between a woman pursuing a man is as thin as a veil; if Han Yi refuses, she’d just shamelessly cling onto him. She can’t miss Han Yi again in this life.
As Lin Wan spoke, she lowered her head. Today, she wore a white cotton short-sleeved top with a simple, waist-fitted floral dress. Her hair was styled into a simple braid hanging at the middle of her back.
Her appearance was not bad, so, Han Yi probably wouldn’t reject her, right?
"Cough... you speak first," Lin Wan felt a bit nervous, sweat bursting out from her palms. The umbrella in her hand felt slippery; in her nervousness, it seemed it might flip over at any moment.
Overhead, Han Yi let out a light laugh. His body visibly relaxed, and Lin Wan wondered if he was nervous too. Suddenly, she felt her wrist heat up as she was pulled under the shade of a tree on the roadside.
Lin Wan looked up at Han Yi and found that he’d tanned slightly since winter, becoming even more steady.
"...Oh, is there something you wanted to talk about?" Lin Wan was eager to know what he wanted to say to her.
"Actually. It’s nothing much," Han Yi said, and then his eyes, which had been flickering, suddenly fixed steadily on Lin Wan. "Just wanted to ask you a personal question."
"Do you have a significant other?" After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked.
He’s asking me, "Do you have a significant other?" Lin Wan’s nervous heart soared like a thermometer thrown into a furnace, instantly reaching its peak. Joy, excitement, and surprise flooded in all at once, making her heart race uncontrollably.
Seeing Lin Wan just staring at him without answering, Han Yi felt a bit uneasy, suddenly feeling he acted rashly. He slightly furrowed his brows.
Just when he felt it was hopeless, Lin Wan suddenly spoke up. She shook her head, maintaining as much composure as possible, "Not yet."
Han Yi suddenly rejoiced, hesitated again, and asked, "What do you think of me?"
"You’re quite good," Lin Wan suddenly smiled brightly. She had been waiting for this day for so long.
"My name is Han Yi, I’m 23 years old. I’ve lived with my grandma since childhood. I am a soldier in the People’s Liberation Army and currently an emergency official. My monthly salary is thirty-five, and I usually have some benefits as well. This is my basic situation, and I’m looking for someone I can marry immediately. Would you... consider me?" Though his words were embarrassing, coming from Han Yi’s mouth, it sounded like he was reporting a result.
But Lin Wan noticed carefully that Han Yi’s earlobes were flushed red.
"Do you want to date me?" Lin Wan couldn’t help but tease him.
Han Yi shook his head and corrected, "To marry."
In her past life when she went on a blind date with Han Yi, he also said he wanted to get married immediately. At that time, she cared about his salary and house, completely ignoring this.
Lin Wan didn’t know what happened to make him suddenly think of marriage.
"I... want to get married," he said. Some things he didn’t want Lin Wan to know. These past few days, he’d met a few potential matches but felt something was missing with each. Regardless of the circling, none seemed suitable. He wanted to find someone to marry quickly, but didn’t want it to be so casual, either. During these blind dates, he’d occasionally find Lin Wan’s image flashing through his mind, vaguely feeling maybe Lin Wan likes him too. When he met with today’s match, he thought to himself, if only it were Lin Wan instead.
With that fleeting thought, Han Yi lost interest in continuing the meeting; he rejected it hastily and wandered aimlessly down the street. His mind was chaotic.
Lin Wan was indeed very pretty. No matter what era, people always like beautiful, pleasant things, not to mention a girl with a good disposition, fair skin, and bright eyes. Her clear eyes made her seem even more vibrant. Standing there quietly, she exuded an indescribable tranquility. When Han Yi looked at her, his breath hitched, as something surged from his heart, an unspeakable feeling arose.
Words couldn’t aptly describe the subtlety.
Perhaps feeling his previous words were inappropriate, Han Yi hurriedly explained, "Feelings can develop over time. Sometimes even those who start dating may not end up together. We’ve interacted a few times. I really like your personality, as long as you don’t dislike me, we can certainly cultivate feelings gradually."
Lin Wan didn’t speak, her eyes filled with laughter as she stared at Han Yi. In her heart, despite some differences from her past life, she ultimately didn’t miss out.
"Did you... agree?" Receiving her gaze full of laughter, Han Yi understood and, for the first time, gave Lin Wan a smile. The tension from earlier suddenly dispersed into smoke.
