Chapter 362: Conflicted
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Jun finally found an opportunity to ask Yu Han out alone. The two of them strolled along a small path in the ecosystem.
The paths here were not very popular, so there were not many people walking by the roadside. A breeze blew past, and the shadows of the trees swayed under the dim yellow light. Yu Han felt a little cold in this situation, so she could not help but rub her arms.
When Ji Jun saw this, he suddenly remembered that there was a similar plot in the movies he had seen. When the girl was cold, usually the boy would take off his coat and put it on the girl. This was also a little fun for young couples.
Hence, he planned to imitate it. He raised his hand and touched his body, only to realize that he was also wearing a short-sleeved shirt. He paused for a moment before retracting his hand as if nothing had happened.
“Ahem.” Ji Jun coughed unnaturally. “Are you cold?”
Yu Han was too embarrassed to say that she wasn’t cold. She actually felt a little afraid to come to a remote and dark place at night. She could only nod and admit that she was cold. “It’s probably because this place is more remote and there are many mountains and trees, so it’s not that hot. The temperature will still be a little low at night.”
Speaking of which, the two of them had walked for almost a few hundred meters. Yu Han looked at Ji Jun curiously. “Do you have something to say?”
Seeing that he wanted to say something but could not voice it out, Yu Han thought to herself that if he had something to say, he should say it quickly. The earlier he said it, the earlier they could go back. As she walked on this dark path, she kept feeling that a person would suddenly jump out in front of her. It was quite scary.
Hence, she might as well hurry back to the courtyard and have a good time. However, she endured it because of Ji Jun’s “I have something to say” expression.
Now that Ji Jun had spoken first, she took the opportunity to remind him tactfully.
Ji Jun’s original plan was indeed to talk to Yu Han before she left the production team and improve their relationship. However, when he looked down, Yu Han’s expression was honest and her eyes were very clear. He could not tell that she had feelings for him, so he swallowed his words.
Hence, he was stuck in a dilemma about whether to say it or not.
However, if he didn’t say anything, this path would become more and more remote. Ji Jun was also a little worried that something would happen if he continued forward. After all, the ecological park occupied such a large area. It was hard to guarantee that they would encounter some dangerous people. It would be troublesome for the two of them if they were discovered.
Hence, Ji Jun suddenly stopped in his tracks. Yu Han wondered if he was finally going to say it.
Unexpectedly, Ji Jun suddenly said, “My mother even mentioned you to me two days ago. She asked you to go to our house for a meal when you’re free.”
Yu Han was stunned. “So you were conflicted for the entire night just to tell me about this?”
For some reason, Yu Han suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, although she did not understand where this emotion came from.
Hearing Yu Han’s words, Ji Jun’s eyes darkened for a moment and he remained silent with a straight face.
Because the streetlights were too dark, Yu Han did not notice his abnormal expression. She continued, “What’s so difficult about this? You can just tell me directly. However, 1 don’t have time recently, so I shouldn’t be able to agree to it for the time being. Help me apologize to Auntie. After 1 finish filming and the college entrance examination, I’ll have a lot more time. 1’11 visit Auntie then.”
The image of that gentle and amiable woman appeared in Yu Han’s mind. She thought of how the other party had taken care of her last time. “Moreover, 1 haven’t thanked Auntie properly for the inheritance last time. 1 should be the one to treat her to a meal, but because I’ve been too busy recently, 1 didn’t get to do it. I’m afraid Auntie will say that I went back on my word…”
Yu Han was walking slowly and talking non-stop. Suddenly, she did not pay attention and one of her feet stepped on the gap between the red bricks, tripping her. She lost her balance and was about to fall forward.
Yu Han cried out inwardly. At the same time, her body reacted quickly. She stabilized her other foot in a stance and stopped herself from falling in time.
Just as she thought that she had survived this disaster unscathed, Ji Jun’s hand reached over, grabbed her arm, and pulled her back forcefully. Her back bumped into Ji Jun’s arms, and Ji Jun let out a muffled groan.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Yu Han pulled out of his arms and turned to look at him. “Um, are you alright?”
Not only did he fail to save her, but he also hurt himself. Ji Jun retracted his hand awkwardly and muttered, “1 thought 1 had to save you again.”
Unexpectedly, Yu Han stood up on her own this time. She did not need his help at all..
