Chapter 1872: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (76)
Xia Cha did not respond to Huo Heng’s words. Instead, she clenched her small hands into fists and punched his shoulders.
As if she was still angry, she kicked his calf again.
The calf bone was the most fragile bone of human beings. A light kick would hurt, not to mention a hard kick from Xia Cha.
Huo Heng’s handsome face darkened.
What was wrong with this girl?
Huo Heng pursed his dark red lips and frowned slightly. “You hit and kicked me. How have I offended you?”
How dare he ask how he had offended her?
Xia Cha’s thick and long eyelashes fluttered like injured b.u.t.terfly wings. “Didn’t you see the message I sent you last night?”
Huo Heng narrowed his eyes, his expression dark. “I saw it.”
“Why didn’t you reply?”
Huo Heng was silent.
Seeing his att.i.tude, Xia Cha felt sour.
She turned around and was about to leave when Huo Heng pressed his hand against the door frame, refusing to let her go.
Xia Cha thought of the grievances and heartache she had suffered recently and wished she could slap him.
“Why did you steal my first kiss last time?”
Huo Heng’s tall body slightly bowed. He lowered his eyes to look at Xia Cha and trembled, as if his long eyelashes were injured. He said in a low voice, “I’ve said before that I like you.”
He had never hid his love for her.
Xia Cha’s mind went blank when she heard the word ‘like’.
Inside, her emotions were like a roller coaster that surprised her.
However, her face was still tense as she pretended to be angry and glared at him. “But I hate you. I really hate you!”
Huo Heng thought of the diary he had read, and his heart tightened unconsciously. He straightened his body and let go of the hand on the door frame. “I know.”
How did he know?
Wasn’t he an expert in love?
Why couldn’t he tell if a girl was speaking the truth or the opposite?
Xia Cha glared at him with red eyes. “You… close your eyes.”
Huo Heng’s gaze landed on Xia Cha’s face again. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Why?”
“I want you to know how much I hate you!”
Huo Heng’s handsome face changed. “Xia Cha, don’t push your luck!”
He rarely called her by her full name. Once he did, it meant that he was a little angry.
However, Xia Cha was not afraid of him. She lifted her chin like a proud peac.o.c.k and said, “I want to go overboard. Are you going to close your eyes or not?”
Huo Heng noticed that Xia Cha’s eyes had turned red and tears were welling up in them. He sighed silently.
Who asked him to owe her in his past life?
Even if she were to stab him in the chest with a knife, he would accept it!
Huo Heng closed his eyes.
After Huo Heng went to Harbor City to collaborate with Huo Third Master, he had been very busy and often stayed up late. His face was much thinner than before, and his facial features were more prominent.
Xia Cha’s gaze landed on his eyes. He had typical peach blossom eyes. His eyelashes were lowered, thick and long, just like a girl’s mascara.
Xia Cha looked at the handsome face in front of her, which looked like it was carefully carved by a craftsman. She thought of how he had saved her twice despite the danger, and her heart felt warm.
She tiptoed and approached him with her oval face.
She gently kissed the corner of his lips.
Huo Heng suddenly opened his eyes.
It was as if he had been struck by lightning.
He looked at the girl who kissed him in disbelief.
Was he hallucinating?
He actually knew that she had gone to the hospital to visit her grandmother yesterday.
Grandma had asked him to go on a blind date, but he had not rejected her. He had said it on purpose for her to hear.
He wanted to see her reaction.
When she returned, he received a message from her.
When he saw the message, he was both surprised and afraid.
Surprisingly, she was willing to contact him and even asked to meet him at the cafe.
What scared him was that he was thinking too much. Her asking him to meet her wasn’t what he’d expected.
He didn’t text her back as he had been caught in two extremes of emotion.
Actually, he went to the cafe at the appointed time.
However, he didn’t go in and let Jian Ming go.
She had not shown up.
Thus, he was certain that he was overthinking things.
She did not like him.
Her actions earlier had caused ripples in his heart.
It was the first time Xia Cha was so bold and proactive. She felt shy, embarra.s.sed, and fl.u.s.tered. Especially when Huo Heng opened his eyes, he just stared at her without any reaction.
Xia Cha covered her face with her hands and opened the door, wanting to leave.
However, the man closed the door after opening it a little.
Huo Heng held Xia Cha’s slender shoulders and turned her around.
They stood facing each other.
Xia Cha lowered her eyes. Her fan-like eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing the panic in her heart.
Huo Heng tightened his grip on her shoulders. “What… what do you mean?”
This time, it was his turn to ask her what she meant.
Xia Cha’s slender shoulders hurt from his grip. She looked up and glared at him. “What did you mean last time? That is what I mean.”
With that, her ears turned red as if they had been baked by the scorching sun.
Huo Heng’s throat seemed to be blocked by something.
When he was Huo Ze, he did everything he could to make her like him, but she only felt disgust and hatred toward him.
He could understand. After all, the harm he had done to her in the past could not be healed with time and compensation.
He had hoped and fantasized that one day, she would also fall for him.
The day had finally arrived.
His voice was filled with excitement and joy. “You’ve fallen for me?”
Xia Cha’s heart was about to jump out of her throat, but her little face looked fierce, “Yes, what about it?”
Huo Heng let out a low laugh, as if it came from his chest, lazy and hoa.r.s.e.
He suddenly extended his hand in front of Xia Cha.
Xia Cha’s eyes darkened. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her.
…
“Don’t push, don’t push…”
“It’s getting exciting!”
Xia Cha heard Jian Yi’s voice from outside. She pushed Huo Heng away and before he could react, she opened the door and ran out.
In the corridor stood Jian Yi, Huo Heng’s cousin, Xia Chuan, and the butler.
When they saw Xia Cha, they were a little embarra.s.sed.
Jian Yi was the first to speak. She walked in front of Xia Cha and held her little hand. “Cha Cha, seeing that you finally have a good impression of Heng, I’m happy from the bottom of my heart. Yesterday, when I heard the old lady say that Huo Heng agreed to go on a blind date, I was still angry at him!”
“We clearly agreed to get my daughter-in-law back!”
Xia Cha recalled that Huo Heng promised Grandma Huo that he would go on a blind date yesterday. If she had not taken the initiative to look for him today, would he really have gone on a blind date?
At the thought of this, she felt a little angry.
