Chapter 184: Responsible for You
Chen Zihan didn't make a sound and quickly sprinted downstairs.
Xiao Han was standing at the entrance of the residential complex, driving an old Golden Van. The delivery van was now being used by him for commuting.
Although Xiao Han had always wanted to buy a car, he didn't have a driver's license, and secondly, it seemed a bit conspicuous for a high school student to buy a car, so his plan to buy a car was put on hold for the time being.
"You can drive?" Chen Zihan looked at Xiao Han in surprise.
"Just learned." Xiao Han chuckled and said, "Li Dapang used to drive small trucks for people, he taught me a month ago."
"Then... can you go on the road?" Chen Zihan didn't care about the consequences and directly got into the passenger seat.
"No problem!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "Although I don't have a driver's license, there is absolutely no problem hitting the road."
While speaking, Xiao Han had already started the ignition.
Chen Zihan's face lit up with excitement, dispelling the gloom from before. She hugged Xiao Han's arm and then kissed him on the cheek.
"Hey, be careful." Xiao Han hurriedly said.
The steering wheel had veered off due to Chen Zihan's pull just now. They almost had a traffic accident. Chen Zihan, the girl, not only wasn't afraid but started giggling, "Hehe... hurry, hurry, your jalopy doesn't even have air conditioning?"
"Hehe, someone else's grocery car," Xiao Han laughed and said, "It's not a fancy car. I'll take you for a ride someday when I buy a car."
"Sounds great!" Chen Zihan nodded, but her heart felt a pang of sorrow. The thought of possibly having to leave the country for several years filled her with an indescribable discomfort and misery.
"What's wrong? Why are you feeling off?" Xiao Han asked anxiously.
"Oh, it's nothing!" Chen Zihan smiled and then said, "Isn't the college entrance exam the day after tomorrow? I'm a bit nervous."
"Ah, that's it," Xiao Han suddenly realized. Before the college entrance exam, many people experience stage fright. After all, it's a normal mental state when facing significant, huge events, everyone inevitably feels fear and apprehension, more or less.
Although Xiao Han didn't experience it because his mind was strong enough. How strong a person's mind is determines how much pressure they can handle. When Hanmen Technology and Hanmen Catering opened, how much pressure did Xiao Han bear? How big were the risks he faced? Initially, he was the person who dared to say 'no' to Liu Si. How many in the entire provincial city could do that?
Anyway, Xiao Han had been through a lot.
"Don't worry!" Xiao Han smiled and said, "With your grades, you will definitely be admitted to Shuimu University."
"Xiao Han, with your grades, you could totally attend a very good university!" Chen Zihan looked at Xiao Han with a smile and said, "Why not consider Tsinghua University and Peking University? After all, these two universities are currently the top institutions in the country."

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "But, Beijing is too far from here. I decided to apply to Shuimu University. It's in the provincial city. That way, it's more convenient for me to go home, and my mother is sick now, I need to take care of her more."
"That makes sense," Chen Zihan nodded.
Xiao Han drove to the dessert shop.
"Mango?!" Chen Zihan was startled.
"Right, a new dessert shop in Wangjiang District!" Xiao Han grinned and said, "Last time you treated me to that one, this time, it's my turn to treat you here, how about it?"
"Yeah!" Chen Zihan immediately nodded.
Chen Zihan is a very beautiful, pure girl. Just those eyes alone were enough to mesmerize countless men. When she smiled, they resembled a pair of curving crescents, clear and bright. Coupled with her perfectly proportioned, delicate features, she was absolutely stunning.
Chen Zihan took Xiao Han's hand and then said, "Let's go."
Her flowing long hair swished as if she was a spirited fairy, spreading a pleasant fragrance that was very comforting. Xiao Han suddenly felt a wave of happiness, being able to win over such an exceptionally gorgeous and beautiful woman was certainly the fortune of his lifetime.
Hand in hand, that's when it really feels like being in love.
The two entered the dessert shop, it was the first time Chen Zihan let herself go a bit, not worrying about her figure anymore. She ordered several desserts. They sat on the sofa, and for the first time, Chen Zihan actively snuggled into Xiao Han's arms and nestled there.
She hugged Xiao Han and said, "Xiao Han, will you always love me?"
"I will!" Xiao Han nodded.
"How long will you love me?" Chen Zihan asked.
"A lifetime!" Xiao Han said seriously, his hand gently stroking Chen Zihan's hair, then said, "I can't promise forever, but a lifetime I can do."
"Hehe..." Chen Zihan giggled and said, "Then... if we end up in different places, will you still love me?"
"Why do we have to be apart?" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.
"I was just making an analogy!" Chen Zihan pursed her lips and said, "If we were to be apart for several years, unable to meet, would you still love me then?"
"Even if we couldn't meet for a lifetime, I would still love you!" Xiao Han said with seriousness.
"Alright, alright, I believe you now," Chen Zihan said. As she did, tears began to stream down her face.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Han held her and asked curiously, "Why are you crying?"
"It's nothing. Who asked you to say something so touching!" Chen Zihan buried her head in Xiao Han's chest and sobbed, "Who made me cry? You bad person, you are just a bad person. I hate you, I hate you!"
Xiao Han held Chen Zihan, but a smile appeared on his face. If a woman says she hates you with a coquettish tone, she definitely likes you; if a woman tells you she hates you, chances are she's fallen in love with you.
"Silly girl!" Xiao Han laughed. "I was telling the truth!"
"It's precisely because you were telling the truth!" Chen Zihan bit her red lips and said, "That's why I'm so moved."
As she spoke, Chen Zihan looked up at Xiao Han.
As their eyes met, sparks flew. Chen Zihan's beautiful eyes twinkled, making her look exceptionally charming and moving. Xiao Han was captivated by her clear, transparent eyes; she was so beautiful, so touching.
Unknowingly, the distance between them had closed to a mere finger's breadth.
Chen Zihan gently closed her eyes. Xiao Han immediately kissed her moist red lips. The summer air was hot, but the air conditioning inside the dessert shop was more than enough, blowing comfortably and warmly on them.
Xiao Han skillfully pried open Chen Zihan's moist lips, his tongue darting into her pearly teeth. The fragrant red mouth, with a hint of electricity, felt like a catalyst, triggering the hormones in Xiao Han's body.
Xiao Han immediately fervently kissed her red lips, then bit her mouth. They held each other tightly. Chen Zihan's breathing became a bit hurried; although this was not their first kiss, each one felt profoundly memorable and uniquely different.
Xiao Han was free of all distractions, just holding and kissing her continuously.
The two kept kissing, continually embracing each other. They wished this moment could last forever, until the seas were dry and the stones rotten.
Whoosh...
Chen Zihan pushed Xiao Han away and took a long breath out. She felt almost suffocated, almost on the verge of collapsing. That's why she pushed Xiao Han away.
"Bad boy, you almost suffocated me." Chen Zihan huffed coldly.
"Hehe..." Xiao Han chuckled, as Chen Zihan's lips were almost swollen from his kisses.
"What are you laughing for?" Chen Zihan said shyly, "Taking advantage of someone and still laughing."
"So, what should I do?" Xiao Han asked curiously.
"You need to take responsibility for me!" Chen Zihan said coquettishly.
"Isn't that obvious?" Xiao Han immediately took Chen Zihan's hand and said, "Of course, I will take responsibility for you and do so for my entire life!"
"Those are your words," Chen Zihan looked at him seriously and said, "No matter if we are apart or how long we are separated. You must think of me, love me, take responsibility for me. No backing out!"
"Of course, I won't!" Xiao Han vowed earnestly, almost wishing he could show her his heart.
Chen Zihan curled the corners of her mouth, a smug smile spreading across her face. She looked at Xiao Han contentedly and said, "With those words from you, I'm satisfied."
"On the day after tomorrow's exam, you need to give it your all," Xiao Han encouraged her, "We agreed to attend Shuimu University together."
In Xiao Han's opinion, with Chen Zihan's capability, getting into Shuimu University was a piece of cake. Not just Shuimu University; even Tsinghua University and Peking University should be no big challenge. Therefore, Xiao Han was already prepared for a wonderful university life.
"I…" Chen Zihan's expression changed slightly, then she immediately regained her composure and said, "Alright. But let's make a promise, starting from tomorrow until the end of college entrance exams, we won't see each other to bring out our best performance, okay?"
"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "The college entrance exam is not an ordinary mock exam. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leap over the dragon gate, and I will definitely not give up such an opportunity. I will bring out all my strength. And so will you!"
"Yes!" Chen Zihan nodded.
With the day after tomorrow's SATs, after seeing Xiao Han, Chen Zihan slightly adjusted her mentality; she was ready for the exam. Since Xiao Han was working so hard, how could she give up? If she missed this exam, her life might just pass by Xiao Han.
Imagine, if she hadn't taken the college entrance exam or the SATs, she would only be a high school graduate. What accomplishments could she achieve in society then? Since her mother was determined to stop her from taking the college entrance exam, then she could only take the SATs.
