Chapter 53 Imported Cotton Candy!
Chapter 53 Imported Cotton Candy!
Under the interplay of light and shadow from the streetlights, Han Xian and Dilireba walked side by side.
Their intertwined fingers had long since separated, after all, this was on the sidewalk, not in a pitch-black movie theater.
But their shadows had begun to overlap, and their hands, big and small, had never been separated.
Neither of them spoke, both enjoying the rare quiet atmosphere.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Han Xian could smell the light, delicate fragrance emanating from Dilireba.
Dilraba would occasionally glance at Han Xian from the side, then quickly look away, her gaze strange.
Noticing Dilraba's subtle movements, Han Xian raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Why are you looking at me like that? Get to the point. Of course, don't say anything you shouldn't, or you'll have to bear the consequences."
Dilraba bit her lip lightly, remained silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Just now at the movie theater... why did you...?"
She didn't finish her sentence, but Han Xian understood. He chuckled lazily, "Why didn't I take the opportunity to kiss you, even though I'm so shameless?"
Dilraba's eyes widened as she hurriedly explained, "I didn't say you were shameless!"
Han Xian smiled and said, "So you're curious why I didn't take the opportunity to kiss you? The reason is simple: I don't need to take the initiative to kiss you; I can wait for you to do so."
Dilraba blushed. "I would kiss you on my own initiative? No way!"
Han Xian raised an eyebrow and grinned mischievously, "Didn't you kiss me first in tonight's scene? We'll film that scene again tomorrow night, and you'll kiss me first again. If you don't kiss me well, we'll have to keep NGing and keep kissing, and you have to keep kissing me until Director Chen yells 'time' before we can stop!"
"..."
Dilireba opened her mouth, but was speechless, because what Han Xian said was true.
He doesn't need to take the initiative to kiss her; he can just passively wait for her to kiss him. There's no need for him to accompany her to meals, shopping, or movies to cultivate any so-called feelings.
and so……
Dilraba hesitated for a long time but couldn't help asking, "Since you don't need to take the initiative, why did you accompany me to dinner, shopping, and movies to build rapport?"
Han Xian pondered for a moment before speaking: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Dilireba thought for a moment, "Let's listen to the lie first."
Han Xian said, "The lie is that I think you're pretty and I'm after you. I accompany you to dinner, shopping, and movies just to see if I can win your heart."
Is this a lie?
That's such a jerk, he deserves a beating!
Dilraba's eye twitched. "And the truth?"
Han Xian stared at Dilraba's flushed lips, "The truth is, even if I can't win your heart, I'll still win your body first. The first step is to take your first kiss! The second step..."
Han Xian paused for a moment, then slowly uttered four words: "We'll talk about it later."
Is this the truth?
He's even more despicable and deserves a beating!
Dilireba took a deep breath. "Han Xian! Have you ever heard of a palm technique that moves from left to right?"
This sentence...
That doesn't sound like a compliment!
Han Xian instinctively became wary. "I only know of one palm technique that descends from the sky—the Tathagata Palm."
Dilraba raised her hand, smiling broadly, "I don't know the Tathagata Palm, but I do know a palm technique from left to right! Watch this!"
"Damn! You're serious!"
"Don't hide!"
"Do you think I'm stupid?! If I don't dodge, I'll get a big punch from you!"
"Then let me fan you with a big fan!"
"I must be out of my mind to let someone slap my big lap!"
"If you're so capable, then stand still."
"No way!"
The two played around for a while, but eventually stopped because Dilireba couldn't keep up and was panting.
The sidewalk fell silent again, with the occasional car passing by, stirring up a gentle breeze that ruffled the hem of the clothes of the two people standing side by side.
Han Xian walked lazily, occasionally stepping on the tactile paving to feel the unevenness under his feet.
Dilireba transformed back into the beautiful, kind, easy-going, quiet, and serene exotic beauty she once was, peacefully accompanying Han Xian as they walked forward, showing no trace of her earlier madness.
After walking a dozen steps, she bent her left pinky finger and hooked it around Han Xian's right pinky finger, her gesture gentle, her smile faint, and her voice soft, "Thank you, Han Xian."
Han Xian raised an eyebrow. "I'm about to win your heart and your body, and you're still thanking me? Dilireba Dilimulati, maybe you should go get your brain checked!"
Dilraba pursed her lips slightly, a smile playing on her lips. "I know you were just trying to make me happy, not that you really had any ulterior motives. After all that playful banter last night, I feel much better, so I sincerely thank you!"
Dilireba explained a few words, her smile becoming even brighter.
Han Xian said he could have her body if he couldn't have her heart, but what was the reality?
He put his arm around her waist twice, both times because she almost fell.
He took her hand because it was too dark in the movie theater, and he was afraid she would fall.
He hugged her twice, both times for the sake of filming.
He said he wanted to exchange first kisses with her, but he hasn't kissed her yet, and instead made her angry once.
If she can't tell whether Han Xian is good or bad, then she must have gotten her head stuck in a door and kicked by a donkey.
Tsk!
Is this the legendary "Friend Card"?
It was just some playful banter that led to Dilraba sending it to me?
The problem is, I really have ulterior motives towards you!
You gave out your "good guy" card too early, Dilireba!
Han Xian gazed into Dilraba's clear eyes and, seeing that she wasn't feigning modesty, smiled faintly and said, "Just having a meal, going shopping, and watching a movie with you, and your mood has improved? Your needs are quite low, huh?"
Dilraba stretched, revealing half of her shapely figure. "My schedule has been getting busier since last month. I've been flying between different cities to keep up with my schedules. Being able to relax for one night like this is already a blessing."
"Are all beautiful female celebrities this busy?"
"I'm not a beautiful superstar," Dilraba shook her head. "I'm so busy because Yang Mi signed a performance-based agreement with Shangshi. I can't help Yang Mi in other ways, so I can only rush to events to earn money for her!"
"That's a true friend!" Han Xian gave a thumbs up and added, "Here's what we'll do! If you're tired, just come to me. As long as you give me something in return, I guarantee you'll feel relaxed and happy for days!"
"What benefits?" Dilireba looked at Han Xian warily.
"What do you think?" Han Xian smiled as he looked at Dilireba's pink lips.
"You...dream on! We'll talk about it tomorrow night when we film the kissing scene!"
Dilireba blushed and retorted coquettishly, but she didn't turn her head to block Han Xian's view, nor did she take a few quick steps to get out of Han Xian's sight.
She let the streetlights soften her profile, and let Han Xian admire her luscious red lips.
Noticing Dilireba's subtle movements, Han Xian slightly raised the corners of his mouth, but said nothing.
Having received the "friend zone" card, even if you do nothing, some things will still go smoothly.
Maybe... it will go even more smoothly than we imagine.
"Han Xian! Cotton candy~"
Suddenly, Dilireba tugged at Han Xian's sleeve, her beautiful eyes shining as she pointed at the cotton candy stall across the street. Her voice unconsciously took on a slightly childish tone, making her look just like a kindergarten child seeing her favorite snack.
Without needing any extra facial expressions or gestures, Han Xian understood Dilraba's thoughts.
He strode across the street and bought an extra-large cotton candy, fluffy, soft, snow-white, and sweet, much like white clouds under a blue sky.
Upon returning, Han Xian handed a basin-sized cotton candy to Dilireba, who was drooling.
"Eat!"
Dilireba took the food but didn't start eating. Instead, she turned her head to look at Han Xian.
Aren't you going to eat?
"You eat first."
Han Xian smiled, his gaze falling on Dilraba's pinkish lips.
He likes sweets, provided that the sweetness has other flavors as well.
For example—imported cotton candy!
With the giant cotton candy in her hand, Dilireba's attention was completely diverted from the cotton candy. She didn't notice Han Xian's gaze and took a bite out of the cloud-like cotton candy.
Ugh~
So sweet~
So delicious~
The fluffy marshmallows melt in your mouth, and the sweetness spreads from the tip of your tongue to your entire taste buds—it's the same sweet taste as when I was a child.
As she ate, Dilraba's eyes and mouth began to light up, her expression full of joy and happiness.
Han Xian, however, was looking at Dilraba's glossy pink lips.
A few wisps of cotton candy, like white clouds, clung to her red lips, and a faint sweet aroma could be smelled.
I really want to try this imported cotton candy.
Noticing Han Xian's gaze, Dilireba shook the cotton candy with the chipped end.
"Try some? It's very sweet!"
"good!"
Han Xian raised his hand in response, but instead of catching the cotton candy, he grabbed the slender hand holding the cotton candy and pulled it upwards, causing Dilireba's body to collide with him.
A soft, gentle sensation washed over him and entered his mind, but Han Xian's eyes remained fixed on Dilraba's glossy pink lips.
A few strands of cotton candy melted on her lips, making the sweet taste even clearer.
Now I really want to try the taste of imported cotton candy.
"You...I..."
Stared intently at by Han Xianliang's bright, star-like eyes, Dilireba was instantly captivated and fell silent.
She blinked her beautiful eyes nervously, then slowly closed them. Her face began to flush, and her lips unconsciously moved upwards.
Looking at the exquisitely beautiful exotic face in front of him, Han Xian thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"Dilraba, I wasn't lying when I said I'd get you even if I couldn't win your heart! I'm a real jerk, so if you don't want to get hurt, you'd better save your first kiss for tomorrow's scene, otherwise..."
"Shut up!"
Dilraba, furious, opened her eyes and kicked Han Xian, interrupting him. "The atmosphere's already this heated, what are you dawdling about? Are you even a man?!"
Gan!
Dare to say I'm not a man?
I'll show you right now whether I'm a man or not!
Han Xian raised his hand and held the back of Dilireba's head, then lowered his head and kissed her glistening pink lips without saying a word.
It was a little cool, a little sweet, a little soft, and a little tender—much better than the imported cotton candy Han Xian had imagined.
His thoughts on the imported cotton candy were simple: after just one bite, he wanted to keep eating.
