Chapter 2086: Chapter 2287: Open the Door for Me!!!
Previously, Hao Jian’s gaze had been avoiding Zhang Danlin, but at this moment, he fixed his eyes on her, staring straight at her, directly into her pupils, and said, "You are not inferior to her; you are even better than her, a hundred, a thousand times better!"
"A person is perfect as they are; you don’t need to compare yourself to anyone. You don’t need to compare yourself to her or anyone else. You are perfect; you are not inferior to anyone!" Hao Jian said.
Zhang Danlin listened, seemingly thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "Really?"
Hao Jian nodded sincerely, saying, "Really!"
Zhang Danlin evidently believed Hao Jian’s words. Whatever Hao Jian said, she believed. She was slightly unhappy at first, and her mood was beginning to stir, but after Hao Jian’s words, a trace of joy appeared on her face. Yes, she was now a little happy. Hao Jian couldn’t be lying to her, and so, in his heart, at least she wasn’t inferior to Liang Xiaohan; at least she was comparable to Liang Xiaohan, and that was good enough.
"Can you kiss me?" Zhang Danlin suddenly said.
Hao Jian was slightly taken aback. At this moment, she suddenly made such a request, seemingly he had no reason to refuse. If he refused, it would make his previous words seem false and insincere. He thought for a bit and then asked, "On the cheek?"
Zhang Danlin suddenly glanced at him and retorted, "Did you want to kiss on the lips?"
Hao Jian immediately laughed. He didn’t expect Zhang Danlin to joke with him. That meant she had understood and realized the truth and relationship within and wouldn’t be so upset anymore. He laughed and nodded and then quietly stepped a little closer to her.
Zhang Danlin suddenly closed her eyes, and he slowly leaned in and, as she requested, kissed her on the cheek. The kiss was very quick, merely a touch on the face. Non-ceremonious, neither invasive nor impolite, his kiss on Zhang Danlin’s cheek was just a gentle touch that was quickly withdrawn.
However, just as he was about to pull back, Zhang Danlin’s hand suddenly pressed against his waist, holding him in place. The incident happened so suddenly that he had no time to resist, and was directly pressed toward her. The distance between them was already not far, just a few fists apart, and with Zhang Danlin’s press, Hao Jian lunged toward her, and then she moved, and the two suddenly... kissed.
In an instant, Hao Jian’s eyes widened. He never expected Zhang Danlin to use such a tactic. He originally thought Zhang Danlin just wanted a kiss and would then let everything go, but he didn’t expect it was all her "scheme." All she wanted was to distract him and at the same time draw him closer so she could act.
He never thought he, Hao Jian, would one day be forcefully kissed by a woman. His current feeling was wonderful; the feeling of lips touching was so marvelous that it made him feel like he was floating, and meanwhile, the two were in extremely close proximity.
Zhang Danlin stared into Hao Jian’s eyes, seemingly wanting to read something from his eyes. Yet, aside from surprise, there was nothing else in Hao Jian’s eyes. However, from Zhang Danlin’s eyes, Hao Jian read many things that surprised, shocked, and puzzled him, leaving him at a loss for words.
Within those brief dozens of seconds, they seemed to have thought of countless things, and countless soul exchanges happened. In an instant, it seemed like they saw through each other, not in a way that sees through and ignores, but more like being more fascinated and wanting to explore more after seeing through.
At that moment, Hao Jian seemed to forget himself, forgot to resist, just letting Zhang Danlin hold him. He was completely stiff and his thoughts were frozen, not knowing what to think. It was as if he went back to when he first came to Yun City, first joined Yawen, first met Zhang Danlin, seeing her smile, and her rolling eyes.
No one knows how long it lasted, estimating three minutes, but for them, those three minutes felt like half a century. After three minutes, Zhang Danlin slowly released Hao Jian, her face a rosy blush, embarrassingly red, and Hao Jian, due to the sudden event, also had a faint hint of red.
"You..." Hao Jian was just about to speak.
For some reason, Zhang Danlin once again pressed Hao Jian, and they kissed again. This was Hao Jian’s first experience with such an initiative, and earlier he was startled and didn’t recover from the shock, making it hard to push Zhang Danlin away. At this moment, he saw the emotion in Zhang Danlin’s gaze, and it seemed if he pushed away, it would be a disservice to her.
He had already let her down and didn’t want her to be more upset. If he pushed away, she would surely be very sad, perhaps thinking she was being too forward, thinking Hao Jian didn’t like her that way, and that he disliked her forwardness, thinking she was an easy girl.
At that time, her mind would be filled with these thoughts, so Hao Jian couldn’t do it. If he did, it would be more unjust to her. He was at a loss, letting it go, or maybe he was immersing himself in a certain feeling.
"Um..." Zhang Danlin suddenly leaned into Hao Jian’s ear, "I want to give you."
In an instant, Hao Jian cleared up, wanting to get up. He didn’t hear wrong, Zhang Danlin’s words weren’t misheard; he was a bit stunned, feeling the suddenness, brain a little muddled. But no matter how muddled, this time he needed to stay rational.
He had already disappointed Zhang Danlin, and if he went further, he would be nothing but a scumbag, no, even scumbags wouldn’t do this; he’d be a beast. In an instant, he was getting up from the bed. Zhang Danlin was a bit surprised, not knowing why after just that sentence Hao Jian reacted so strongly and tried to hold onto him, not letting him sit up.
However, if Hao Jian wanted to sit up, how could a girl like her restrain him? Even ten Zhang Danlins couldn’t do anything to Hao Jian.
Hao Jian sat up and then stood immediately, touching his head, trying to come back to his senses from the previous state. Zhang Danlin’s face was adorably red, but more so confused, not knowing how things ended this way.
She had read that to capture a man’s heart, a girl must win over his body, so she thought of this tactic. Many guys covet her, wanting her as their girlfriend, but she wasn’t at all interested, not even a possibility.
She wanted to belong to Hao Jian, making her his woman. She knew it was hard for guys to control themselves in such situations, but when she voiced her intentions to Hao Jian, she never expected him to respond with surprise, shock, panic, and to break free immediately.
She was now at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"I..." Hao Jian suddenly said, "It’s getting late, we should head back, or we’ll be late for class."
He knew Zhang Danlin felt awkward and didn’t know what to do, so he broke the silence and awkwardness, trying to make her less embarrassed. After all, it was already hard for a girl to do such a thing, beyond imagination, yet she did it, though it surprised him.
But this was something he could never accept; accepting would make him a beast.
Zhang Danlin was evidently a bit reluctant, thinking she did all this, yet Hao Jian remained unfazed, was her charm not enough? Not enough to allure Hao Jian, causing him to reject her immediately. She was overthinking, countless thoughts popping into her head at once.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The door suddenly sounded with a hurried knock.
Hao Jian and Zhang Danlin were standing there awkwardly, neither knowing what to do or say, both at a loss. But hearing the urgent knocking, they both simultaneously looked at the door, puzzled, wondering who could be knocking.
Could it be the hotel staff?
But hotel staff should knock gently and certainly wouldn’t be this hurried and loud, without considering the people inside, so it couldn’t be hotel staff. But if not hotel staff, who else could be knocking?
Questions filled their minds. Yet, the next voice resolved their doubts.
"Open up!" Liang Xiaohan’s voice came from outside.
Liang Xiaohan!
How did Liang Xiaohan get here?
In the next instant, the name Liang Xiaohan and this question popped into both Hao Jian and Zhang Danlin’s minds simultaneously.
