Chapter 155

When Xiao Han heard this, her heart started beating rapidly, as if it was about to jump out.

Although Xiao Zimo had previously seen Xiao Han write his name on paper, and felt that she must still have him in her heart, he still wanted to hear her admit it personally.

Xiao Han looked at him as the scene of her accidentally knocking Xiao Zimo over and accidentally kissing him flashed through her mind.

Mo Mo had said before that if you like someone, you would definitely not dislike kissing them. If you don't like them, kissing them would definitely feel disgusting!

She didn't dislike kissing Xiao Zimo last time, but that was an accident. She wanted to try again!

Thinking this, Xiao Han suddenly bent down and caught Xiao Zimo's lips in a surprise kiss.

Xiao Zimo was completely dumbfounded and did not react for quite some time.

After kissing for a while, Xiao Han left his lips and mumbled, "It doesn't seem to feel repulsive..."

In fact, it even felt rather nice?

Just as she was about to get up, her waist was suddenly pulled over by a strong hand. Xiao Zimo directly pulled her into his embrace, hugging her as he lowered his head to cover her lips with his.

He had always upheld propriety, but Xiao Han's kiss just now shattered the cage of his reason.

Their lips and tongues entwined as the temperature of their bodies rose sharply.

Xiao Han was kissed by him until she almost suffocated. She pushed against his chest with her hand.

But Xiao Zimo firmly grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers together, kissing her even more deeply.

Xiao Han really didn't expect that beneath Xiao Zimo's cultured appearance was actually such...

By the time Xiao Zimo released her, Xiao Han was gasping loudly for air. She complained unhappily, "Xiao Zimo, are you trying to kill me?!"

Xiao Zimo looked at her lips, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly. "Of course not. I'm a doctor, I naturally know your limits."

"..."

Xiao Han rolled her eyes at him. "Let me down quickly!"

Xiao Zimo held her and did not let go. "You haven't answered my question yet."

Xiao Han was annoyed. "You've already taken advantage of me, and you're still asking?!"

"It was you who took advantage first."

"..."

Oh for goodness sake!

"I want to hear you say it personally." Xiao Zimo looked at her gently. "Do you...like me?"

"Like, like, like, like! I like you so much the sky turns dark, I like you so much the sea dries up and rocks decay!" Xiao Han was truly infuriated by his nitpicking.

As an unfeminine woman, how was she supposed to spout sweet nothings? Wasn't he trying to kill her? She finally realized that this Xiao Zimo was here just to torment her!

Hearing her words, Xiao Zimo's mouth curved up involuntarily. "Han Han, I like you too."

Xiao Han shuddered at his term of endearment for her.

Her face grew hot. "Xiao Zimo, you really are nauseatingly mushy! Let me go!"

Xiao Han struggled desperately, and Xiao Zimo's gaze darkened as his hand around her waist tightened.

He whispered in her ear, "Han Han, don't move like that."

Xiao Han froze, suddenly realizing what Xiao Zimo meant. Her face instantly turned crimson.

"Then let me go!" Xiao Han shouted.

Right after saying that, her mouth got sealed shut again.

"Mm..."

...

When Xiao Han returned to the room, she still felt rather guilty. She tiptoed as she quietly opened the door and went inside.

She had only gone to find Xiao Zimo, but things had progressed way beyond her expectations!

She subconsciously touched her somewhat swollen lips that Xiao Zimo had kissed, inwardly cursing, "Xiao Zimo is nothing but a gentlemanly rogue!"

She had clearly stepped right into his trap one step at a time!

"You're back?" Mo Mo's lazy voice drifted over.

Xiao Han was startled. "Mo Mo, you're not asleep yet?"

Mo Mo immediately sat up. "How could I sleep when all of you are out on dates?"

Xiao Han sneaked over and whispered furtively, "Mo Mo, let me ask you, what’s it like when you kiss Wu Ying?"

Mo Mo's gossip instincts were immediately aroused as she grinned and asked deliberately, "What's this? You kissed Xiao Zimo?"

"Uh...I guess so. I just wanted to confirm whether I really like him or not."

"Confirm with a kiss?"

"Wasn't it you who said that if you like someone, you won't dislike their kiss! So I tried it out..."

"And what was the outcome? Not only did you not dislike it, you actually liked it a little? Got a bit excited? Wanted to throw him down a little?" Mo Mo asked salaciously.

"Oh stop it, I'm nowhere near as loose as you! But I did not dislike it and got slightly aroused." Xiao Han used her fingers to demonstrate just a little bit.

"Yeah right!" Mo Mo slapped her hand. "You gals are all hypocrites!"

Right then, Hua Wuyou sent Xia Miaomiao and Sang Li back as well.

As Gu Zhi left, he turned back to look at the four women laughing together.

He had an inkling his sister was hiding something from him.

...

Since there were still people who had not fully recovered from the epidemic, they did not leave for the time being.

Xiao Han said they had to see things through, and would leave Lianhua Village only after the epidemic was over.

So the group temporarily stayed in Lianhua Village.

In a flash, over ten days went by. By then, everyone quarantined had fully recovered, and Older Xiao had recovered completely too. Xiao Han organized them to disinfect the entire Lianhua Village once more.

Although this ordeal had taken quite a toll on Older Xiao’s health.

But Older Xiao still hosted a banquet at the Xiao residence to thank Xiao Zimo and Xiao Han.

Most villagers came to express their gratitude.

Lianhua Village had been dead silent for almost two months. Today it finally became lively again.

"I didn’t expect this young man to actually be a woman. It really opened our eyes!"

"Yes, truly impressive!"

"Our Lianhua Village is really blessed to have Young Master Xiao and Miss Xiao!"

...

Xiao Han had been heartily enjoying her food, savoring the pig trotters. She paid no attention to the praises the villagers were singing of her and Xiao Zimo.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zimo was at the other end speaking with Older Xiao.

Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder. Xiao Han turned around to see a kind old granny smiling as she asked, "Miss Xiao, may I ask if you are betrothed to someone?"

Xiao Han put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, just about to speak.

Her hand was suddenly held. She turned her head to see Xiao Zimo, who had appeared beside her.

"Granny, I'm afraid Han Han is already promised to me as my wife-to-be who has yet to pass through my door." Xiao Zimo said politely.

The old granny immediately understood, smiling as she clapped and said, "Doctor Xiao and Miss Xiao are indeed a perfect match!"

The granny tactfully left them alone. Xiao Han glared at Xiao Zimo, "Since when did I become your wife-to-be?"

Xiao Zimo smiled. "Didn’t you already agree to marry me previously?"

"..."

"Han Han, may we go out for a bit please?"

Xiao Han looked at the remaining pig trotters in her bowl, complaining, "But I haven't finished eating!"

"Then I'll wait for you to finish. Do you really enjoy eating this that much?"

"Yes! Delicious food is one of life's pleasures, isn't it?" Xiao Han replied before continuing with her meal.

On the other table, the trio of sisters looked on at Xiao Han interacting with her boyfriend, stifling their laughs.

Xiao Han sensed she was being mocked.

She eyed Xiao Zimo, noticing how gentle, refined and otherworldly he seemed.

Meanwhile, here she was, gorging so crudely!

Oh well, perhaps maintaining appearances once in a while was necessary.

"Ahem...Xiao Zimo, actually I'm already full. Shall we go out?" Xiao Han said in an unnaturally prim voice.

"Pfft..." Mo Mo could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing.

Xiao Han shot a glare at Mo Mo before ushering Xiao Zimo out in his wheelchair.

Xiao Zimo helplessly shook his head, smiling all the while.

Because what he loved was Xiao Han's most authentic self.
