Chapter 121 Liu Zhimin: I regret it (1W7 please vote)

After sending the message, Han Zhe suddenly felt a little regretful - he wondered why he suddenly got emotional and sent a message to his ex-girlfriend because he didn't drink either today?

What makes him even more troublesome is that Katalk can display whether the other party has read the message. That is, after the message is sent, a number 1 will be displayed. If the number 1 disappears, it means that the other party has read it. If it has not disappeared, It means that the other party may not have seen it or you may have been blocked.

Then, Han Zhe suddenly felt a little surprised.

It turns out that you haven’t been blocked yet?

Forgot?

Or is it that she, like him, doesn't really care about such things, or that she still has a regretful feeling for each other like him?

Han Zhe looked at his phone. After a minute, the other party still didn't reply, so he shook his head and threw the phone aside, not intending to look at it again. But just when he put down the phone, Liu Zhimin suddenly sent another message. .

[Yoo Jimin: Thank you~ Oppa! 】

This time it was Han Zhe's turn to be confused. Should we stop talking here or ask about the current situation?

He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to think too much about anything, just follow his heart and communicate naturally.

[Han Zhe: How are you doing lately? 】

[Yoo Jimin: That’s it~ Last year I was running around abroad, but this year I should be in China. The company has also stabilized, so I should be able to work hard. 】

[Han Zhe: Congratulations~ It’s almost time to make a comeback, right? 】

[Yoo Jimin: Well, there should be a preview song released on May 2nd, and the official comeback might be May 8th, right? 】

[Han Zhe: I will repost it on INS when the time comes. I hope it will be popular. 】

【Yoo Jimin: Thank you~】

【Han Zhe: (Shiba Inu laughs.jpg)】

The conversation suddenly came to a standstill. After a while, Han Zhe sighed. After all, he could never go back to the past. He had to think carefully about every word he said, not knowing whether it was appropriate or not.

He put down his phone, but unexpectedly Liu Zhimin sent another message.

[Yoo Jimin: Where is Oppa? Apart from work, how are you doing lately? 】

【Han Zhe: Not bad~】

Han Zhe originally thought that this chat would end with a simple chat about the current situation.

But he never expected that Liu Zhimin would suddenly send him a series of messages, as if he had been saving them for a long time.

[Ryu Jimin: There are some things that have really troubled me for a long time. I originally thought I could bear it and not ask, but since Oppa took the initiative to send a message, can I ask clearly without being offensive?

If I can't ask clearly, I will always have random thoughts in my heart.

Even if it’s just to put an end to the relationship, I still want to make it clear what I didn’t ask or say that day, is that okay? 】

[Han Zhe: Yes. 】

So, Liu Zhimin suddenly called.

Han Zhe connected directly. After the call was connected, both parties remained silent, and they could only hear each other's breathing. Finally, Liu Jimin's voice sounded softly.

It was as cold as in the memory, but now it carried some slight tremors that could not be suppressed.

"Oppa?"

"Yeah."

Han Zhe's voice was also a little low.

"I'm very sorry. I know that suddenly bringing up old scores and talking about the past may make Oppa a little troubled, but these things have really troubled me for a long time. If I don't ask clearly, I don't know how to deal with the relationship between us. So , can you please tell me the truth no matter what the problem is?”

At the end of Liu Zhimin's question, he felt vaguely excited.

Han Zhe just took a deep breath and said softly: "Okay, I won't lie."

".First thing."

After a moment of silence, she asked softly: "Does Oppa really like me? I mean before we break up."

"Of course." Han Zhe replied briefly: "During the process of dating, haven't you asked me many times? I guarantee that every word I say to you, whether I like or love you, is true. ”

"Then why didn't Oppa contact me once after the breakup, or even try to redeem me once?"

Liu Jimin tried hard to suppress his emotions.

"I tried to win you back that night, and until you left my car, I still sincerely prayed that you would regret it and come back to my car to say we wouldn't break up.

Even after that day, I kept waiting for your call, but when you didn't call, I felt there was no need to continue. ”

Han Zhe sighed softly and calmly stated his true thoughts: "I can never do what you ask for. Before Xiuyan abandons me, I will never abandon Xiuyan, no matter how much I like you. No, because I also have a commitment to her.

So, since you want to break up because of my troubles, then I can't change this shortcoming and problem, so how can I call you and how can I win you back?

If you only feel sad and painful when you are with me, these negative emotions are far more than our joy and happiness. How selfish do I have to be to continue to think of ways to keep you by my side? ”

After Liu Zhimin was silent for a moment, she didn't dwell too much on this issue. Maybe this was the thing she wanted to ask, and she was used to make things happen.

She just continued to ask: "Does Oppa have a new girlfriend after that? How many women are around Oppa? Does Jiang Soo-yeon know all of them?"

After Han Zhe was silent for a moment, he continued to speak frankly: "In fact, during our relationship, I also had a long-term and stable relationship with another girl. She has known me for a very long time, even longer than Jiang Xiuyan. It's just that the other party couldn't accept my relationship with Jiang Soo-yeon, so I kept delaying the relationship.

But after confirming the relationship with you, she also confirmed the relationship with me”

"That means Oppa really lied during our relationship with me, right?"

Yoo Jimin's voice became a little trembling: "When Oppa was dating me, he cheated with other women except Kang Soo-yeon, right?"

"If it's about confirming the relationship, yes, but if it's about feelings, no, because in this regard, you are the one who comes later."

George Han spoke calmly.

Liu Zhimin was obviously shocked by the news, and her voice was slightly crying: "Didn't you say you would never lie to me!"

"I'm sorry, but I was not honest about this matter." Han Zhe sighed softly.

"Why? Aren't you always honest? Why are you telling me now that there are lies that I don't know about even when you were on the show with Shin Yoona?"

She asked in a somewhat urgent tone.

Han Zhe just remained silent for a moment and then continued to tell the truth: "It's because I like you."

"Don't lie." Before she could finish her excited words, she was interrupted by Han Zhe: "Because I like you so much and don't want to break up with you, I lied to a girl for the first time!

I know you are different from other girls. Even if you just accept Jiang Xiuyan, it is difficult. Even if you know that I have other ambiguous partners, you cannot accept it, so you can only hide it.

I have been suffering every day since I spoke to you. I even wanted to lie to you for the rest of my life, but in the end.

Just because Shin Yoona, who I had an ambiguous relationship with at best, made us break up, didn't we? ”

Han Zhe's voice could be heard to be a little sad and emotional: "I don't want to separate at all? But apart from lying as much as possible, what else can I do to continue to be with you?

Even if it’s one more day or one more month, I just want to delay it as long as possible until I find a way.”

"Then Oppa can't just like me." Yoo Jimin was interrupted again by Han Zhe: "I have no way to stop, do you understand?

If you just say you don’t want to date new girls, well, I might really be able to do that for you, but what about your previous relationships?

Other girls have also bet their lives on me. How can I disappoint them?

If I break up with Xiuyan, what will happen to her life? She has given her all for me, how can I let her down?

The other one is because I have severed ties with my family. Now I am her family and her support. How can I leave her alone?

Even if I like you again, I can't hurt them because of you. This is my responsibility, do you understand? Jimin? ”

After Han Zhe finished speaking with a somewhat excited tone, he breathed a long sigh of relief and actually felt a little happy.

The separation from Liu Zhimin was too sudden, and he had some things accumulated in his heart. Now that the other party was questioning him, he simply confessed everything.

Yoo Jimin just choked on the phone and didn't speak for a long time. In the end, she just continued to ask: "So does Oppa have other lies?"

"No." Han Zhe said in a serious tone: "Maybe there are some places that I deliberately ignored, but the main reason is that I don't want to irritate you but there is no other place to lie."

".So Oppa plans to spend his life with many women. Even if he loses me for this, it doesn't matter, right?"

Liu Jimin asked tremblingly.

Han Zhe stroked his forehead sadly, and after a while, he whispered: "I really hope it doesn't matter."

The two fell into silence again.

After a while, a sniffling voice came from Liu Zhimin’s side: “So what Oppa means is that the women around me now are all people I met before me?”

"Yes." Han Zhe regained his composure, feeling relieved in his heart.

No matter what, he thought that after today, he could finally put an end to this relationship in his heart.

Tell everything, say sorry if you should be sorry, maybe make some amends if you should, and then he will move on with his life.

"Where is Shin Yoona? Is Oppa with her now?"

Yoo Jimin suddenly mentioned Shin Yoona.

Han Zhe was silent for a moment, and then said: "No, but the situation may change in a few days. She said she wanted to celebrate my birthday alone. I think she wanted to confess."

".Will you accept it?"

Liu Jimin asked in a low voice.

"Probably won't refuse."

Han Zhe gave the answer.

The conversation fell into silence again. After a while, Liu Jimin whispered: "I understand."

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Han Zhe asked again.

After a brief silence, Liu Zhimin asked the last question.

"On the day we broke up, Jiang Soo-yeon called me on your mobile phone. Did Oppa know?"

"I saw the call transcript but didn't ask her what exactly she said."

Han Zhe answered truthfully: "I still don't know what she talked about with you."

"She called me to block you, and said that I am a woman who has never given anything to you, nor is I a woman who truly loves you, nor is I qualified to ask you to change. What does Oppa think?"

Liu Jimin’s voice was obscure.

".That means that the reason why she called you was hoping that you would contact me proactively, but you didn't in the end."

Only now did Han Zhe know the content of their conversation, and in just a moment, he had already thought clearly about the purpose of Jiang Xiuyan's phone call.

The reason why Kang Soo-yeon asked her to take the initiative to blackmail Han Chul and even scold Yoo Jimin was, in a sense, to deliberately provoke him, hoping that the other party would realize her problem and take the initiative to win back Han Chul - it sounded a bit incredible at first. But Han Zhe firmly believed that this was Jiang Xiuyan's purpose.

Of course, if Liu Zhimin really blocks Han Zhe, it will naturally be a good thing for Jiang Xiuyan. This is her best conspiracy.

After Han Zhe's words, Yoo Jimin laughed at herself: "Oppa really trusts her. So what does Oppa think? It doesn't matter if he is blocked by me, or he hopes that I will not block him." Is Oppa better? ”

"The latter." After Han Zhe finished speaking, he said calmly: "I thought I had accepted the life of losing you, but today, I still couldn't help but send you a message, and I still looked forward to it

Are you looking forward to getting back together? It’s not necessarily that we have to go that far, but we just don’t want to become strangers.

After all, you are someone I really like, and in the final analysis, it is more my own fault.

I'm sorry that you fell in love with a man who couldn't help but look at you alone. ”

His voice became gentler, but Liu Jimin on the other end of the phone could only smile a little self-deprecatingly.

At this moment, she realized how completely she had lost. In other words, the moment she had the idea of monopolizing Han Zhe because of jealousy and jealousy, she was destined to never be able to compete with Jiang Xiuyan and win the battle with Han Zhe. Zhe's emotional victory.

He was still the same as before. Liu Zhimin's mood was complicated. He originally thought that it had been digested by him, and the emotions he no longer cared about came again like a tsunami. It wasn't until he heard his voice and words again that Liu Zhimin realized in despair - —I still can’t let him go.

"Ouba."

Her sad voice became choked and sounded a little pitiful.

"I can't get out"

Yoo Jimin made a clear cry, sobbing, and cried sadly and sadly: "I can't get out!"

"I obviously hate you so much that I say I hate you a thousand times in my head every day."

"But I will still miss you."

"Why can you be treated so tenderly by the person you like?"

"Why can you still fall in love with others and live a happy life after losing me?"

"Why am I the only one still trapped in the past and unable to get out!"

"I don't know what to do. I really don't know what to do!"

She cried loudly, but suddenly hung up the phone.

Han Zhe stared at the phone blankly, dialed, and was hung up. When he called again, the phone was turned off. After a while, he sighed softly and called Ningning.

The other party picked up the phone carefully: "Oppa, was it you who just called Jimin and Unnie?"

"Are you in the dormitory?" Han Zheyi said simply: "Shall I go over there?"

"Well, are you going to get back together with Jimin and Oni?" Ning Ning whispered uncertainly: "Winter went over to hug her and comfort her. She has always had some opinions about Oppa."

"No, I just couldn't help but send a message and we chatted afterwards. I'd better go there. No matter what, even if it's a breakup, I still want to know what she is thinking."

Han Zhe was silent and said softly: "Just tell her that we had a similar time in the past. At that time, she said she wanted to meet me in person, but the moment we met again, all the true feelings in her heart would change. Very clear.

It was because of that meeting that we officially confirmed our relationship

Then let’s meet again.

If we just hate each other after meeting, then break up completely. I will delete Jimin’s contact information in the future. If you are reluctant to delete it, then calm down and think about the future.

After so much time, I think she must have a rough answer in her mind. ”

Ning Ning was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Okay, I understand, Brother Han, but this time you should really cherish me, Sister Liu. Since she broke up with you, she has become a lot more introverted, and she is always in a daze. , and sometimes secretly shed tears at night. She doesn’t allow me to tell you these things.

You are really awesome. It’s been more than half a year, but you just broke down again after just one phone call. You seem even more uncomfortable than the day you two broke up.”

Han Zhe sighed softly: "I will drive over and send you a message when I get there. If she doesn't come down, I will wait for her downstairs and I will be there until twelve o'clock at night.

If she doesn't come down, then I'll take it as if she has really made up her mind. ”

"I know." Ning Ning also sighed and shook her head: "Brother, you are committing evil."

She and Han Zhe did not have a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. Instead, she had a more thorough understanding of Han Zhe. In a relationship that did not involve the emotions of men and women, Han Zhe was really a rare good buddy. He was loyal, informal, and generous. , humorous, patient and meticulous, which makes people feel safe.

For Ning Ning, who came to a foreign country to work alone at a very young age, having a reliable rich man as a backup in the peninsula made her feel very proud and at ease, and she would not feel like she was in trouble when something happened. I don’t know who to count on for slander.

But only in the relationship between men and women, Ning Ning felt that Han Zhe was really blind. He was the first to find several girlfriends in an upright manner, and he was so confident that he didn't feel anything was wrong at all - this dignified sense of confidence, and It's really frustrating.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that Liu Zhimin can't let go.

After all, he is such a person. He has shortcomings that girls deeply hate, but he also has countless corresponding advantages. Often, as much as you hate his shortcomings, you love his advantages.

Tsk tsk, as expected, if you want to make a woman crazy, you have to be such a bad man.

Han Zhe could only say helplessly: "I can't help it, it's about feelings"

"Okay, okay, I'm almost brainwashed by you. Come on. I'll talk to Jimin and Oni when you get there. Let her calm down for a while. She's crying. It makes me feel bad even through the door."

After Ning Ning finished speaking, Han Zhe hung up the phone with a few words and immediately stood up and set off.

It had been a long time since he drove a Rolls-Royce out in person, and he walked through a road that seemed familiar to him. When the car parked in the parking lot downstairs of Liu Zhimin's dormitory, he sent a text message to Ning Ning.

Perhaps because of the anxiety or irritability in his heart, Han Zhe lit a cigar and quietly leaned against the car and puffed out the smoke, but Liu Zhimin never went downstairs.

He just waited quietly until all the cigars were smoked before sitting back in the car.

Time passed slowly, from evening to late night. Han Zhe glanced at the time from time to time, but had no intention of urging or leaving earlier. He did not even send another text message to Ningning for confirmation. During this period, Ningning sent him a message saying Liu When Jimin was hesitating, Han Zhe just replied that he understood and said nothing more.

The breakup with Yoo Jimin was like a bolt from the blue, and he didn't even savor the feeling after the breakup. Han Zhe originally thought that she had become a thing of the past, but only now did he realize that it was not the case.

Jiang Xiuyan also sent a text message asking him why he didn't go back. He just edited a text message truthfully to inform him of the situation. Jiang Xiuyan just told him to remember to eat and not smoke cigars in the car on an empty stomach - she still knew Han Zhe too well.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Han Zhe just sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed, until the sound of footsteps came from the quiet parking lot. Liu Jimin, wearing a baseball cap and showing some blond hair, but not wearing a mask, came from a distance. Get closer.

Han Zhe just calmly closed the window for ventilation and opened the door of the back seat on the other side.

Liu Zhimin sat in hesitantly and closed the car door.

The two of them stared at each other quietly without speaking, across the central control screen in the back seat, with complex expressions in their eyes.

In the end, it was Han Zhe who spoke first: "Blonde hair is pretty, isn't it?"

"Well, that's what everyone said." Liu Zhimin said, taking off his baseball cap, his blond hair fell down his shoulders, making him look whiter and more beautiful than his black hair.

Those bright eyes still looked a little red and swollen, and even the full makeup couldn't cover them up.

Han Zhe just smiled slightly: "I have watched Dongdan's MenagerSOLO, and it looks better in person than on the screen."

"Oh" Liu Jimin just glanced at him, withdrew his gaze, and sat upright on the side.

Han Zhe suppressed his smile, but showed a somewhat nostalgic expression and said softly: "It was very similar last time. You couldn't make up your mind and were hesitant, so you asked me to come and meet you."

"Oppa took the initiative to come this time." After Liu Zhimin finished speaking, he glanced at him again.

"Why don't you look at it openly?" Han Zhe just tilted his head and stared at her. Liu Zhimin tilted his head to one side. After a while, he turned around. Neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other. each other.

After a while, it was Yoo Jimin’s pale pink lips that moved: “Oppa looks a lot different too.”

"I know, many people praise me for becoming more handsome."

Han Zhe just raised the corners of his mouth, and then put it down.

Through the King of Money's infinitely charming skills, including the transformation of various systems, long-term skin care management, coupled with good physical function and consistent exercise, his charm attributes can reach an astonishing 87 even after just taking a shower. Point, this number does not include the BUFF bonus.

If like today, with the blessing of wearing a handsome suit and hairstyle, the charm value of the system panel is a terrifying 90 points - even if you take the photo of Han Zhe when he lost weight a year ago for comparison, you can see his beauty with the naked eye. The facial features seem to have become much more harmonious inexplicably.

Some fans even suspected that he had made slight adjustments and asked him which hospital he went to to get it done, which made Han Zhe dumbfounded.

"The narcissism and pretentiousness have not changed." Liu Jimin muttered.

"Isn't it the same for you?" Han Zhe laughed, looking at the corners of her mouth raised slightly, but he already had the answer in his heart.

In fact, when she decided to go downstairs to see him in person, she had already explained a lot - if she really had no nostalgia for Han Zhe, or had no regrets about her original decision, she would never go downstairs. .

So, he stopped smiling again and sighed softly: "Isn't it great?"

"What?" Liu Zhimin was stunned at first, and then turned his head with dark eyes: "This is only the case when we meet."

is very good.

When I was with him, I even felt the sweetness of happiness flowing in the air.

But just thinking about the situation he was in and how carefree he was, this sweet smell turned sour.

"Really?"

Han Zhe withdrew his gaze from her, looked out the window, and said with absent-minded eyes: "Am I the only one who thinks of happy times?"

"Except for being in the room or in the car, we didn't do any happy things that were worth remembering as a couple."

Liu Zhimin was still arrogant, but when she turned around and saw Han Zhe's expression, she still couldn't be arrogant anymore. She could only turn her head and stare out the window, lowering her head: "Although it's not a sad memory when I think about it. ”

"Is it because what I did to you wasn't good enough?" Han Zhe suddenly asked.

Liu Zhimin hesitated and shook his head: "Whether it's the level of care or money, Oppa has never treated me badly."

"Then why are you so determined to push me away? You obviously can't let me go."

Han Zhe turned slightly, closed the distance between them, and stared into her eyes.

Liu Zhimin just dodged his eyes for a moment, then turned his head and stared at him with a stubborn look on his face: "Because you like someone, that's how it should be.

I want to be with him, want to get more care and love from him, it is completely unbearable that he still belongs to someone else

Doesn’t Oppa have the same requirements for the girls around him? Can it be said that I can love you and other men at the same time? ”

Han Zhe could not refute this and could only say frankly: "I can't accept it. You are right about this, but I can't look back now.

All I can do is try my best to live up to others' expectations and shoulder the responsibility until the end, that's all. ”

"Do you know what Jiang Xiuyan said to me that night?" Liu Zhimin suddenly said.

Han Zhe just shook his head.

"She asked me to think about whether I have done anything for you. She asked me to think about it. Even though I know you are a troublesome guy, I still want to get together, and in the end I break up because of your playfulness. It's mine. Wrong

I thought about this for a long time, and finally, I felt that what she said was completely wrong. ”

Liu Zhimin just stared at Han Zhe. The anger and grievances accumulated during the period were vented without reservation at this moment. Her little face was tense and a little serious. She looked into his eyes very seriously and said calmly:

"First, it's not that I didn't accept Oppa, but I originally only knew that Oppa had many romantic partners and women surrounding him, but he only had one girlfriend, and that was Kang Soo-yeon.

But suddenly, Oppa blatantly showed his affection towards Shin Yoona. Or is it just a matter of pure friendship that you brought her on your YouTube show? ”

Liu Zhimin stared at Han Zhe sharply. When Han Zhe looked at her, he suddenly realized that the little girl in front of him had grown a lot.

Yes, people are growing up, and when she first got together with him, she was only a college student.

"I have some vague thoughts of greed." Han Zhe had no intention of lying. He just said frankly and matter-of-factly: "She is beautiful and very good to me. Who doesn't like to have a beautiful little girl like Shen Youna next to her? , acting coquettishly with you every day, sharing my life, and even making no secret of my affection and curiosity for you

All I can do is draw the line as far as possible and maintain this distance. If the other party takes the initiative to cross this line, I can give myself a justifiable reason. ”

"Then why did Oppa keep his distance from her after she broke up with me?" Yoo Jimin just figured it out when she was upstairs. It was precisely because she figured this out that she finally made up her mind to go downstairs. Come and see him.

"." Han Zhe lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "I don't want her to be hurt like you, and I don't want her to experience being separated from you again.

So I would rather just leave it like this. I have made everything clear. If she is still willing to come over without hesitation, then I won’t have to do what happened next like when I faced you.

You even need to lie to try to maintain it, and worry about breaking up every day.

I'm sorry, but I can't explain anything except that I lied to you, including that I might have been lucky at the time, which made you feel very uneasy and even forced us to break up.

It can’t be said to be a fluke, I just feel that I am indeed qualified to be liked by many people, and I am also capable of taking on and managing many relationships around me.

But it turns out that I neither have the calmness and ability to manipulate emotions of a scumbag, nor the freedom and ease that a playboy should have. To be honest, I am just an ordinary man who is somewhat spoiled by the girls around me.

It is because of their pampering and patience that I have the life I have today, not because of my ability to maintain so many feelings without making them feel hurt.”

Han Zhe sighed softly, turned to look at her with sad eyes, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I can't do everything, and I can't do everything well. At least in our relationship, as a boyfriend , I was indeed a failure.”

Liu Zhimin looked at him quietly, and after a while, he slowly stretched out his hand, just like he did in the car on the night when the two officially dated, except that the person taking the initiative changed his identity, and it was Liu Zhimin's little hand. She took the initiative to hold his palm, and the moment their palms came into contact, they seemed to feel each other's breathing stagnating for a moment.

Ah.

Sure enough, I still feel excited.

Liu Zhimin showed a self-deprecating smile, saying that she was the one who broke up, and it was she who had clearly seen through that Han Zhe was indeed a scumbag. She realized that she had grown up a lot, and she would no longer be blinded by the love brain like before.

But now, just because they held hands, she confirmed once again that her heart would still beat faster because of him. She was also the unsatisfied woman.

"What is Oppa feeling right now?"

Liu Jimin asked softly. "It feels the same as holding hands before."

After Han Zhe answered, he paused, then turned his head and looked at each other: "How do you feel now."

Liu Zhimin just lowered his eyes, but after a while, his slender body fell towards him slumped, her head resting on his shoulder, her face buried where he couldn't see, her voice filled with helplessness and sadness that could not be concealed: " I regret it.”

"If instead of breaking up with you, I had clearly pointed out the good things about Oppa and asked him to make corrections, would he have changed?"

she asked softly.

"For example" Han Zhe was not sure.

"For example, I want you to stop that heart-thrilling challenge program and not discuss Jiang Soo-yeon and your previous woman. I just ask you not to have a new romantic partner in the future. Just like Shen Youna, I want you to always be with her. She keeps a suitable distance. Even if the other party takes the initiative, she must tell me first. Can she do it? ”

Liu Zhimin's voice was cold and full of exhaustion, as if she had relieved all the burdens. She lightly smelled the scent of him, and her other hand was just grabbing his sleeves, and she spoke in a weak tone. : "If I just say that I want Oppa to like me more, stop looking at other girls, and at least let me be your last girl. Will you agree? Can you do it?"

She paused, and even said as if she was giving in: "Even if it's just up to Shen Youna."

".Can."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Han Zhe did not reply immediately, but really thought about it seriously for a long time before giving a positive answer.

"Has Oppa ever regretted it?"

Liu Zhimin raised his head: "Have you ever thought about it, it would be great if there were no other girls, so that you can always be happy with me."

".Yes."

Han Zhe sighed softly, looking at the face in front of him that he had not seen in person for a long time, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch her cheek: "If the first person I met was not Xiuyan but you, maybe I wouldn't It’s bold to think that you can have so many confidantes at the same time

But I don't regret it either.

I always feel that fate is like this. If I had met you first, maybe you would not have even looked at me at that time, but would have led me to another, worse path. ”

Liu Zhimin was thoughtful and asked after a while: "Is this what Oppa looked like before plastic surgery as circulated on the Internet?"

"Obviously before losing weight." Han Zhe was also a little helpless. Since he became popular, there have been a lot of rumors on the Internet. Some said he was a liar, that he was an agent, that he had plastic surgery, and that he was a C fan. Yes, some people say he is an agent

Among them, the rumor of plastic surgery was also popular for a while, because a guy got Han Zhe's previous work ID photo from somewhere and posted his chubby appearance on the Internet - of course, the rumor was quickly debunked, because even though Even when Han Zhe was a fat man, he could vaguely see what he looks like today, especially his eyebrows, which are loved by many female fans, and are almost the same as they are now.

Liu Zhimin raised her lips and smiled, and then just whispered: "Maybe"

"So, do you want to get back together?"

Han Zhe looked at her and asked softly.

Liu Zhimin just raised her eyes and looked at him. After a while, she kissed his lips gently, but it only took a few seconds before she moved her face away slightly and sat up straight: "No."

She laughed.

Han Zhe blinked and looked at her, but Liu Zhimin just looked at him with a smile, staring at him with very complicated eyes and said: "Just keep this relationship, the so-called ambiguous relationship.

No, it should be a deeper relationship than an ambiguity. After all, we have done so many things. ”

She said softly, just looking at Han Zhe, and Han Zhe could easily see the entanglement and reluctance in her eyes.

"If I become your girlfriend again, none of your ambiguous partners will be able to turn around. Oppa's chaotic relationship with women makes me feel so painful just thinking about it. Instead of becoming your girlfriend and enduring all this, I would rather It’s better to put yourself further outside.”

Ryu Jimin laughed: "And, for Jiang Soo-yeon, is it more dangerous for a woman who has become your girlfriend, or for a woman in my position?"

She sat up straight and stared at Han Zhe in a calm manner. The love in her eyes was finally no longer concealed, but her expression was still a little sad and her smile was a little forced: "I regret it so much. If I go back to the past, I don't have to look like Are you so confused now? As long as you keep going, you may be able to find the ending of the story.

I'm sorry, at least now, I don't have the courage to be your girlfriend anymore

Shin Yoona probably wouldn't dare, even if she dared, hehe, that guy would only be more fragile than me. Oppa should be prepared. ”

Han Zhe just looked at her, and after a while, he suddenly took her hand: "No."

"What?" Liu Zhimin looked at him in surprise.

".Jimin must be my girlfriend."

At first glance, his words sounded a bit nonsensical and quite unreasonable.

But Yoo Jimin's expression lost its calmness. Even a professionally trained idol couldn't control his current expression at this moment.

He just stood up and changed positions in the car, just like he did to her in the Maybach, pressing her down on the seat. Only this time, she was not as panicked as the first time, but she started with both hands. He lifted it up slightly, and then put it down naturally, without resisting, just staring into his eyes, which were slightly trembling and misty, biting his lips lightly.

"I want Jimin to be my girlfriend and I want you to be my wife and the mother of my child."

"But I really can't stand Oppa being with other girls. Just seeing it makes me sad. Is this okay? We may break up again, and I will still be sad.

Didn’t Oppa say that he doesn’t want to see me feel sad again because of you? ”

She just looked up at him.

"But aren't you laughing now?"

Han Zhe put his face close to her and smelled the smell of her body - it was still the smell of the perfume he gave her before, with a hint of grapefruit.

"You said it was you who broke up, then it's up to me to get back together."

"Let's get back together."

“This time, it’s up to Shin Yoona.”

"I will explain everything to her, and it is up to her to decide whether to participate in our future life.

From now on, I will also explain everything about myself to you

The girls around me are all very good girls, even if they are ambiguous partners, they are like this. You just don’t know them, so you feel like you are out of tune with other people.”

Han Zhe kissed her lips gently, and Liu Zhimin did not resist. She even reached out and put her hand gently on his back. However, she did not take the initiative, but just catered to her. Although there was love in her eyes, she was also a little confused and hesitant.

"But."

"When you like someone, you really want to occupy all of her. There is nothing wrong with Jimin. This time, what I have to do is to make Jimin feel that even if I am not just yours, I will be the best in your life." ”

Han Zhe looked at her with burning eyes and said softly: "Looking into my eyes, would you rather watch me from a distance with others, or would it be better to be by my side?

For other problems, let's find a solution together. The fact is that the situation is like this. I can't leave them behind, but I don't want to be separated from you either

Wouldn't it be better for us to find ways to be happy together?

From now on, I will never have an affair with a new girl. Even if a very beautiful girl with a good personality approaches me, I will say that my girlfriend is very jealous and has already tolerated it to the limit, so please don’t Seduce me, or let you tear her apart.

May I? ”

He said seriously, holding her face gently with both hands: "Jimin has to be my girlfriend, otherwise I won't even let you be my idol."

".Is Oppa threatening me?"

Liu Zhimin laughed silently, but his mood actually became much more relaxed at this moment.

"Yeah! I will buy SM, within five years, no, within three years. By then the fate of Aespa's members will also be in your hands. Jimin, sacrifice yourself, even if it is for the members."

Han Zhe also laughed.

".You are cheating." Liu Zhimin sniffed, obviously smiling, but tears flowed down unconsciously.

"Don't even think about running away. If you go to JYP, I will buy it from JYP. If you go to YG, I will buy it with YG."

Han Zhe just stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and then stretched out his hand to hug her from the seat into his arms. Although the posture was a bit awkward, as if he was kneeling on the seat, he still held her tightly.

He moved his face into her blond hair. The texture of the permed and dyed blond hair was much worse than when she had black hair, but it was still smooth. Her fragrance still made his heart beat fast. Han Zhe had to admit— -He really likes her.

I liked it so much that I decided not to be a playboy anymore, but started to accept it. Of course, the so-called acceptance does not mean that I have accepted it all, but that it is enough for now.

"Then what if I still can't help but be so angry and sad that I want to break up." She couldn't help but hugged him tightly and buried her face completely in his arms.

"It doesn't matter what you say from now on. Why should you break up with me if you want to? I'm a chaebol."

Han Zhe lowered his head and kissed her forehead. It was clearly a joke, but it sounded like he was telling the truth: "Even if I buy the entire peninsula, you will not be able to escape to Siberia. I will also I will catch you back.

Unless one day you say you don’t like me at all, then I will let you go. ”

"Before that, even if you still like me a little bit, I won't let you run away again."

After Han Zhe finished speaking, she finally couldn't help crying, hugged him and sobbed, and soon she was out of breath from crying. She sobbed and said, "This is what you said in case I don't like it." Don’t bother me again”

"Okay."

Han Zhe solemnly made a promise.

"And, ugh, don't do this with Shen Youna. If she can't stand it, let her go. You must tell her that I don't like her stealing my man. If she makes me unhappy, you must come. Coax me. If she and I go on a date with you at the same time, you can only come to me and that Jiang Xiuyan unconditionally. I hate her!”

Liu Zhimin cried and said: "You must tell her that you also like me. Don't treat me badly because of her words. Isn't she very generous? Then you must spend more time with me to make me feel that you really Only if you like me very much"

She almost had to sob every time she spoke a short sentence before she could continue: "Forget it this year, after next year, Obama's spokesperson can only find me! Otherwise, he can find my friends, not other beautiful idols.

And”

She cried while talking, and kept making wishes to Han Zhe as if he were a wishing machine. In the end, Han Zhe was amused by the way she burst into tears and muttered endlessly.

He simply picked her up and kissed her hard no matter what she said.

"I don't care what you say. Where do you come from with so many demands? You have to be my girlfriend no matter what!"

He said unreasonably, picked her up, and changed to a more convenient position, letting her sit on his lap, kissing each other: "What about Shen Youna? I don't want to do it now. Think about it because Jimin is the only one in my mind right now"

This sentence was more useful than anything else. Liu Zhimin, who was still crying and not very cooperative, acted like a different person, hugging him and kissing him hard.

No matter how mature he becomes, Yoo Jimin will temporarily lose his mind because of his love words.

There was no need to say anything else. He and she were in the car and became obsessed with each other like Jack and Rose in Titanic.

The car window was covered with fog and covered with two small handprints.

When she calmed down, she just curled up in Han Zhe's arms and rested her head on his shoulder with a reddish face. While trying to calm her breathing, she later felt ashamed: "Why did you get discovered?" Let’s do it”

"Whatever?" Han Zhe just hugged her contentedly, lowered his head and kissed her cheek: "Do you want to go back today?"

"I" Liu Zhimin hesitated and rubbed his shoulder with his face: "It would be a bit embarrassing if I don't go back. I get taken down every time I meet you"

"Then come again." Before he could finish his words, Liu Zhimin covered his mouth with his hands. Seeing the ridiculous and speechless expression on her face, Han Zhe couldn't help laughing, hugged her tightly, kissed and hugged her hard, After a long while, he said softly: "No matter whether you are busy with activities or not, unless you go overseas, you will go home with me for one day every week from now on."

"Go home?" She was slightly stunned.

"Well, our home." Han Zhe looked at her with gentle eyes, gently stroked her back, and chuckled: "I bought it."

".That apartment?"

Liu Jimin's eyes widened.

"Well, at first we just didn't want our house to be used by anyone else. Even if we don't have the chance to be with you in the end, it's fine to keep it for Shin Yoona to live in."

As soon as Han Zhe finished speaking, she stretched out her mangosteen fist and tapped him lightly on the head in shame: "How dare you say that!"

"Anyway, I will go home every week from now on. I will wait for you at home."

After Han Zhe finished speaking softly, he looked at her and emphasized seriously: "You have to come, we have to meet every week. You have to make time every holiday to go out with me for a date. Do you know that I have a private plane now?" If it’s not convenient to go home, we’ll go to Dongda University, Neon, or wherever we want.”

"When the idol's contract period ends, if you don't have any career ambitions, we will get married"

Han Zhe said jokingly: "With your body condition, you have to give birth to at least two for me."

"Ah~ Oppa! What is that?" she said coquettishly, but there was a gentle light shining in her eyes. Under the light from the starry ceiling in the car, her cheeks were like white jade with its own shimmer.

In the end, Liu Zhimin just sighed softly, and then collapsed on him. She was actually at a loss about her future, but no matter what, at least at this moment, she finally felt stable again in her heart after a long absence—— Since the breakup, the feeling of emptiness and inexplicable sadness that I would feel from time to time has finally disappeared, leaving only a full sense of peace of mind.

"If you lie again this time, it will really be over, you know? Oppa."

She leaned against him, looked at the side of his face, and reached out to gently stroke his cheek.

"Keep what you say. Then you are just jealous. You are not allowed to say we broke up in the future."

Han Zhe agreed seriously.

Liu Zhimin also pursed her lips and nodded: "But you can't think that I am jealous and troublesome and don't want to coax me. Also, you are not allowed to be nicer to Shen Youna than me. The one before can't compare. Can the one after that still be in the same place?" Are you going? Moreover, the ambiguous relationship is over here. No more is allowed until Shen Youna. If she comes again, it means that that woman is more important than me. Just go with her and don't look for me."

"And."

She had a stern face, and the more she thought about that woman, the angrier she became: "Sooner or later I have to meet Jiang Xiuyan. If I can't quarrel with her, you have to help me."

"Huh?" Han Zhe was stunned.

"If I win, you can coax her afterwards, but if I can't quarrel, you have to stand up. Do you understand?"

She pinched Han Zhe's cheek and said angrily: "I have to say this. What did she say? I am a ruthless and selfish woman?

She also said that she would never let you come to me. By the way, she also said that she would never let you come to me, but didn't you come anyway? ”

Liu Zhimin actually felt a little proud, raised the corners of his mouth, and laughed twice: "You must tell her when you go back that you came to me to beg me to get back together today. I only agreed after being begged to no avail, do you hear me?" ”

Han Zhe blinked with a strange expression: "Isn't this a lie?"

"What lies." Liu Zhimin blushed and stood up to adjust his clothes, and glared at him angrily: "You will say the same to others in the future. After all, wasn't it that I was forced to kiss you here, so I had no choice but to agree to you?

Didn't I agree to get back together because you threatened to make me lose my idol?

No? ”

Han Zhe wondered for a moment and nodded, indeed.

At least that's the process on the surface.

As for the fact that after saying these words, she took the initiative to hug him, kiss him and ask for it, just put it in her mind and slowly savor it.

"I know, I will say that it was because of my strong request that you finally agreed because you were soft-hearted and had no other choice."

After Han Zhe finished speaking, Liu Zhimin adjusted his shirt, hummed softly, and showed a bright smile for the first time in a long time: "Say you love me."

"I love you."

"Add name, reason. Why do you love me?"

She took out her mobile phone, pressed the record button in front of Han Zhe, and then raised her swan neck: "Say it."

"Because Jimin is so cute, so beautiful, and so charming. No matter how long we are apart, just seeing each other will still make my heart beat so much. I just want to be with you."

Han Zhe helplessly cooperated and finished a sentence.

Only then did Yoo Jimin feel satisfied and pressed the button to end the recording: "If you make me sad, I will expose you as a scumbag."

Han Zhe nodded with a strange expression.

"Then I have to go back. It's been more than an hour." She blushed and raised her fist again: "Remember to go to the security room to get rid of the video and so on. Aren't you rich?"

"Got it."

Han Zhe picked up the baseball cap and put it on her, and then he just touched her face lovingly and kissed her: "I'm sorry for making you wait for so long."

Liu Zhimin also fell silent, her little fist turned into a palm, touched his face, lowered her head and kissed him: "I'm not sorry, I will never say breakup willfully again, I really regret it

In fact, even if Oppa doesn’t contact me, I probably won’t be able to hold on for long before he takes the initiative to send you a message. At least on your birthday, I will tentatively send a birthday congratulations

But you can’t blame me entirely, I really want to break up, but”

She sighed helplessly and hugged him again reluctantly. She really didn't want to separate: "I can't forget that you will think of Oppa when you see sweet TV series, and you will think of Oppa when you see sad TV series. Even when you watch Sweet Zombie dramas like Homeland will remind you of Oppa”

"Me becoming a zombie?"

Han Zhe laughed: "That must be scary."

"No."

She buried her head: "I would think that if monsters appear in the world, even if there are scary mutated zombies like "Sweet Home" everywhere, Oppa will come to save me, right? Oppa will definitely be able to defeat those monsters, right? ? Although it feels like random thoughts, I still think so.

I also miss you when I listen to music. It’s even worse when I drink alcohol

Where is Oppa? Why did Oppa think of me now? ”

"Because I deliberately control not to think about it, I just keep hinting that I have passed by, and looking for you will only bring you misfortune"

Han Zhe also buried his face next to hers: "Just because Shen Youna suddenly sent me a message, I thought of the day we broke up, so I couldn't bear it anymore and searched for you on the Internet. I couldn’t help but send you katalk

Even if we are friends, we don’t want to live without contact, but when we meet, we don’t want to be friends at all

Jimin has to be my girlfriend.”

The two people looked at each other, and the atmosphere was about to get heated again, but Yoo Jimin had to stop at the cliff, knowing that if it was later, he might not be able to lie to the members - mainly because he was so tormented, every time he went back, he just looked at her She was so weak when she walked that she could cover her mouth and laugh half to death. Ning Ning was so curious that she had to ask for details every time because she lived in the same room, which was so embarrassing!

Only Minhang frowned stupidly and asked her if Han Zhe was bullying others.

He can bully others, but in a sense, it can be regarded as a good thing. At least Liu Zhimin thinks that Han Zhe is better in this regard, otherwise there are so many women, wouldn't they have to eat it long ago? Finished?

She had just started enjoying it with Han Zhe a few times. To put it bluntly, it was still the time when she had just started to taste the marrow.

"I'm leaving. Remember to make it clear to Jiang Xiuyan! It's you who came to find me!"

She opened the door and got out of the car, but couldn't help but come back and kiss him again.

After taking two steps and seeing him nodding, I couldn't help but walk back and hug him, smelling his scent with nostalgia, and nuzzling his neck with my face, before finally choosing to leave.

It wasn't until she got on the elevator that she sighed, sighing secretly that she was really spineless, and she was fascinated by his few words. This guy was really unreasonable, and he became more handsome and taller. Okay. Is there no end to the improvement of Oppa’s personal charm?

When the elevator reached the floor, she raised her head, but she saw the reflection of her makeup on the metal door - it was over, her makeup was already a mess, messed up by sweat and kisses.

Now I go back and say that I was just chatting, who would believe it?

She looked around and realized that she had brought a mobile phone with her when she came down. There was no way to put on makeup now, so she had to open the door.

As soon as they entered, the three members sitting on the sofa turned their heads and looked at Liu Jimin, who was covering his face.

Yoo Jimin didn’t say anything yet.

Ning Ning laughed heartily and stretched out her hands to both sides with a triumphant look: "I won! Bring it! Fifty thousand yuan~fifty thousand yuan~"

She even sang!

Giselle shook her head, took out a 50,000 yuan note and slapped it on Ning Ning's hand. Jin Minhang just clicked his tongue, and then looked at Liu Zhimin sideways. After a while, he sighed, "Hey..." He muttered directly in dialect: "What are you doing? This is Ernie Zhen"

Liu Zhimin blushed, and finally put down her hand: "Ah! He begged me. Even people as powerful as him begged me to get back together!"

"Nei~nei~ we broke up without saying a word for more than half a year, and suddenly we got back together after just one phone call. Ah, to be precise, I cried all night after just one phone call, and when I came back after being out for more than an hour, the sun was shining brightly."

Before Kim Minhyang could finish his words, he let out a yelp, and Liu Jimin threw him down on the sofa, warning fiercely: "Minhyang! You don't have to speak if you don't know how to speak!"

Ning Ning just smiled and took away 50,000 yuan from the panicked and struggling Jin Minhang: "NICE~ Hey, you still say that I don't understand Jimin and Unnie, but I think you don't understand Han Zhe and Oppa at all~ ”

"Yeah! Give it to me!"

Liu Jimin blushed and stared at her.

Ning Ning's eyes widened in panic: "Onie! Robbery is not allowed!"

"Ah! I also paid 50,000 yuan! Half for each person~!"

Liu Zhimin smiled and stretched out her hand, and Ning Ning couldn't help but laugh, and handed her a piece of paper with joyful expression: "Really? Yes, the makeup on his face is like this. It seems that Ernie has paid a lot, or maybe Say, Obama paid more?”

"Ah! Ning Ning!!" Liu Zhimin's ears turned red, she let go of Jin Min Gang who was begging for mercy, raised her little hand and rushed towards Ning Ning fiercely, and Ning Ning ran away.

Aespa's room became lively, only Giselle shook her head, sat, and after a while, she also laughed.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Yoo Jimin as happy as she is today.

After returning home, as expected, Jiang Xiuyan was sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes and reading a book. When she saw him coming home, she yawned: "Go take a bath first, I guess you didn't bother to eat." Let Run'e Erni leave the food and go to bed first. I'll heat it up for you. Then brush your teeth after eating."

"I'll do it myself." Han Zhe looked at her apologetically, but Jiang Xiuyan just approached slowly and took off his clothes: "Hurry up, you smell like a little fox. Wait until you finish washing and warming yourself up." What time is it? Hurry up and finish your meal. Or are you full from eating out today? ”

Her eyebrows were crooked, but there was a hint of jealousy in her smile.

"Eat, I'll eat." Han Zhe laughed. After he leaned over and kissed her, Jiang Xiuyan patted his back: "You are not allowed to kiss me now, but I told her not to see her. Now I It’s embarrassing.”

"You didn't tell me." Han Zhe muttered.

"Nonsense, after I told you, you're not even more upset. Isn't it just to make it easier for you? Okay, don't act like a good boy when you get an advantage. It's annoying."

She coquettishly hit him with her head, and then she covered her head and rubbed it: "Why do you exercise so hard?"

"For you to use." Han Zhe winked and got into the bathroom with a smile.

But when I was washing, I still couldn't help but sigh.

After all, Jiang Xiuyan still knows everything - this guy's emotional talent is fully worthy of her SSS rating, much better than hers.

Han Zhe sincerely felt that even if he met Liu Zhimin or other girls first, and then met Jiang Soo-yeon, he would be hooked by her sooner or later. Ninety-nine percent of women would not be Jiang Soo-yeon's opponent. This guy was put in ancient times , what a perfect material to be a queen.

After washing up and going out, she had already put the food on the coffee table. Han Zhe sat down and ate honestly. She poured herself a glass of red wine, then squinted and sat next to him watching TV and slowly ate until he was full. , went to throw things into the sink outside. When he came back, he looked at Han Zhe who had finished brushing his teeth, and then gently opened the shoulder straps of his pajamas in front of him with a lazy and calm posture.

The silk pajamas slipped off instantly, only to get stuck in the middle.

She slowly opened her hand: "My dear, my clothes are stuck. Help me~"

"I knew I wouldn't wash it." Han Zhe shook his head and stood up to cooperate.

Jiang Xiuyan snorted softly, jumped into his arms, and bit his lips: "I don't want to smell her grapefruit smell. I won't eat grapefruit at home anymore."

"You have the final say, Queen."

Han Zhe jokingly hugged her and landed on the bed, but he just put his hands behind his head. After lying down, he smiled and squinted at her: "My dear, I don't want to move today."

"Have you exhausted all your energy with her? Can you do that?" Jiang Xiuyan didn't take this trick, she just raised the corners of her mouth and looked at her with contempt: "How about you just sleep tonight?"

Han Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly and said lightly: "You won't go to work tomorrow?"

"Idiot. When I wake up, it's Saturday!"

She burst into laughter, but she still leaned down gently and kissed him first: "Just lie down. No matter how powerful the Queen is, doesn't she have to serve the Emperor?"

But Han Zhe stopped her. After hugging her tightly, he stared at the face with gentle eyes for a long time. Finally, he just whispered: "I am not an emperor, just an ordinary person who is lucky to be liked by Xiuyan.

Thank you, Soo-yeon. Without you, my life would probably be a mess.

I figured it out when I went to see Jimin today. Without you, I might have been a completely bad guy.

It doesn’t matter what you say and I become a bad guy. But it’s precisely because of you that I will always be the Han Zhe you like. ”

Jiang Xiuyan didn't speak, but her eyes became gentler and she reached out to touch his face.

"Only you can make me feel like a master of relationships. After all, I'm actually not good at anything."

He spoke softly, staring into those charming fox eyes, as if he wanted to carve them into his soul: "I'm just a lucky guy, and I also brought the goddess of luck home

In the future, you will always be by my side, right? ”

Jiang Xiuyan smiled and stroked his cheek affectionately: "Until you and I turn into ashes, I want to stay by your side

It's just that you are not allowed to say these love words to me casually anymore. I already like you very much. If you treat me so well again, I will not be able to help but be greedy."

"I'm yours." Han Zhe just gave an affirmative reply: "Not part of it, it's all of it. It's just that I'm very carefree. I hope you can allow me to give a little of your part to others. Is that okay?"

"If you say that, what should I do if one day I don't want to lend it to others?" Her charming eyes were full of affection, and everything in her sight faded away with the words, leaving only the man in front of her who was extremely clear. At this moment, She bit her lip lightly, held his hand, and placed it on the place where her heart was beating, letting him feel that although her heart was calm on the surface, it was actually beating rapidly.

"Xiuyan has always doted on me. If I plead with you, you will be soft-hearted, right?"

Han Zhe smiled and held her hand and placed it on the spot where his heartbeat was.

"Yes, I, because I like you so much, no matter what you want or do, I can't do anything to you"

She lowered her head, and after a moment of kissing, she raised her head with a smile, lifted her hair, and simply tied it behind her head: "You can also beg me to do anything for you now. What do you want? Like, like this?"

She moved her eyes with a smile, stretched out her finger and tapped the corner of her mouth playfully: "Do you want it?"

"Yeah."

Han Zhe nodded repeatedly.

"There's really nothing I can do about you~" she said, but the smile on her face became even brighter.
