416 Sneezing

Zhang Yi Hai noticed the strange look on Fang Su Jin’s face and peeked at her phone. The look on his face changed the moment Zhang Yi Hai saw her sister’s face on the phone.

Unexpectedly, his sister was making a video call to Fang Su Jin.

The two of them exchanged a glance.

Zhang Yi Hai inhaled a deep breath to calm down. Then, he moved slightly away and motioned her to pick up the phone.

Fang Su Jin inhaled a deep breath before she finally swiped her finger on the screen.

“Su Jin!” Zhang Li Xue’s cheerful voice was loud and clear. She looked around and was quick to notice her friend’s surroundings. “You’re outside?”

“Uh-huh.” Fang Su Jin glanced at Zhang Yi Hai before she quickly looked away. “I was out for dinner. Why are you calling at this time?”

“Of course, I’m calling to check on you,” Zhang Li Xue said. “It was your exhibition opening day yesterday. I sent you a bouquet through my brother. Did he not send it to you?”

It was then that Fang Su Jin recalled that yesterday, Zhang Yi Hai had shown up at the exhibition center with two bouquets in his hand. He did mention that one of them was from his sister.

.....

Fang Su Jin planned to text her friend and thank her for her support. However, she was busy with some matters yesterday. When she finally returned to her room again, her mind was preoccupied with something else. Because of that, she did not get enough sleep and in the end, Fang Su Jin forgot to text her friend.

“I got it,” Fang Su Jin spoke quickly. “Your brother stopped by the exhibition center yesterday and sent me the flowers. Li Xue, thank you.”

Zhang Li Xue smiled brightly upon hearing her friend’s words. “Su Jin, I’m sorry. I didn’t get to attend your exhibition again this time.”

“It’s alright. Just focus on recuperating from your injury first. Next time, you can attend my exhibition with Doctor Bai.”



Zhang Li Xue had a sheepish smile on her face. “How was it? I saw the report on the internet. The review looks good.”

Just then, a gust of wind blew over and Zhang Yi Hai sneezed.

Zhang Li Xue’s sharp hearing picked up the sound. Her brow furrowed as she found that the sneezing sounded a little familiar.

“Su Jin, are you with someone?”

Fang Su Jin gripped her phone tighter and forced herself to calm down. Fortunately, Zhang Yi Hai was standing away from the camera and Zhang Li Xue was unable to see him.

“No. Why do you ask?”

Zhang Li Xue put a hand on her chin. “That’s strange. I thought that the sneezing sounded familiar.”

“It was probably the passersby,” Fang Su Jin spoke quickly. “I’m taking a walk at the park to digest my dinner. There are a few people, but no one that I know.” She glanced at Zhang Yi Hai and saw his smile. Fang Su Jin quickly looked away before she would do something that would make her friend suspect that she was telling a lie.

“Maybe I was just thinking too much.”

Fang Su Jin heaved in relief when her friend no longer thought about the sneezing.



The two friends continued to chat about Fang Su Jin’s exhibition for a long time.

Suddenly, Fang Su Jin suddenly saw a familiar figure on the screen.

Zhang Li Xue turned around and smiled happily. She looked at Fang Su Jin again and spoke, “Su Jin, I have to go now. Bai Qi had just returned from the hospital.”

Fang Su Jin stared at the screen speechlessly as she watched Zhang Li Xue’s happy expression. She wondered if Zhang Li Xue was only calling her because she was bored because her Doctor Bai was not home yet. Now that the man was at home, this friend quickly wanted to end the call. After exchanging a few words, the two of them finally ended their call.

She inhaled a deep breath as she slid her phone into her purse. Fang Su Jin was glad that her friend did not notice anything.

When she looked up again, Zhang Yi Hai inched closer with a strange smile on his face.

“What are you smiling about?” Fang Su Jin pretended to be angry.

“Su Jin, I just thought that you are adorable.”

Fang Su Jin narrowed her eyes. Clearly, she did not believe in Zhang Yi Hai’s nonsense.

“Are you that scared that my sister will learn about us?” Zhang Yi Hai heaved a sigh. “How long are we going to hide our relationship from others?”

Her brow rose. “Are you anxious to let others know that we are seeing each other?”

“Of course.” Zhang Yi Hai nodded. “You are my girlfriend. Why should I hide it from others? Actually, I think that my sister would be thrilled for us if she knew that we are together. My sister likes you very much.”

“I know.” Fang Su Jin lowered her gaze. Her cheek reddened as she recalled how Zhang Li Xue had asked her to call her ‘sister-in-law’. “But, let’s not rush into it. We only got together for a day. Let’s wait for a while longer.”

“How long should I wait?”

Fang Su Jin pondered over his question. “Let’s wait until you graduate.”

Zhang Yi Hai frowned. He might be in his final year, but Zhang Yi Hai thought that it would take a while before he could graduate. He wanted to be in a relationship openly, but he decided to respect Fang Su Jin’s wish.

“I know that your parents wanted you to focus on your study,” Fang Su Jin spoke. “I don’t want to get you into trouble.”

“Are you worried about me?”

Fang Su Jin met his gaze and nodded. “Your parents can be quite strict. The last time they misunderstood our relationship, I saw that you were almost beaten by your father.”

She still remembered his father’s dark face as he stood in front of her door. It scared her so much.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi Hai’s mother was also around. Otherwise, she did not know how scared she would be.

Zhang Yi Hai stretched his hand and patted Fang Su Jin on her head. It was a strange feeling, but thinking that Fang Su Jin was worried about him made him feel happy. Zhang Yi Hai gathered her into his embrace and pressed a kiss on top of her head. “You don’t have to worry about this. When the time comes and my parents learned about us, I promise that I will handle them. Su Jin, you don’t have to be afraid. Just stay beside me and let me do the rest.”
