Love So Sweet

“Do you want me to carry you?” Zhang Yi Hai asked as he looked at his girlfriend.

“No. No. It’s not too far from the elevator. Why would I need you to carry me? I’m not that weak.” Fang Su Jin opened the door and alighted quickly. She forced herself to walk until they both returned to his apartment.

As soon as she walked in, Fang Su Jin slumped on the sofa, too lazy to make a move.

Zhang Yi Hai could not help but chuckle as he look at his girlfriend. He changed his shoes to his slipper before walking over to his girlfriend. Then, he sat down on the sofa and put her legs on his thigh.

Just as Fang Su Jin was wondering what Zhang Yi Hai was trying to do, the man started to massage her tired legs.

A soft sigh escaped her. Fang Su Jin could not describe just how comfortable it was to have her boyfriend massaging her legs.

“When is your flight tomorrow?”

Zhang Yi Hai’s question dampened her mood a little bit.

.....

At this time, Fang Su Jin wished that she could stay with her boyfriend a little longer and was not willing to think about leaving.

However, they both knew that tomorrow, she was going to return to Y City.

“My flight is in the evening.” Fang Su Jin stared at her boyfriend and asked, “Do you have class tomorrow?”

“My class ended in the afternoon,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “I’ll send you to the airport tomorrow, alright?”

Fang Su Jin nodded. Thinking that this would be the last night she will be staying with him made her heart grow heavier.

“Zhang Yi Hai,” Fang Su Jin called his name after a long silence between them. “You must remember to study hard, alright?”

“Alright. I promise that I won’t disappoint you.”

Fang Su Jin heaved a heavy sigh. She thought of how much she would be missing Zhang Yi Hai when she had to return to Y City tomorrow.

As the thought came to her mind, Fang Su Jin sat up and lay her head on Zhang Yi Hai’s chest. Her arms wrapped around his waist tightly.

“Zhang Yi Hai, I will miss you.”

His lips turned into a smile. He too would be missing Fang Su Jin a lot.

He lowered his head and looked at the person who was rubbing her head against his chest.

There was a fire burning inside him. However, Zhang Yi Hai had to suppress that thought away. He wanted to spend his time with Fang Su Jin like this a little bit more, where he could hug the person he loved without them doing anything else.

He quite liked the feeling of hugging his girlfriend like this.

Moreover... it was still too early for them to be moving to another stage. He thought that he should let Fang Su Jin be comfortable with announcing their relationship to everyone first before they could get intimate.

He wanted to let her parents know that he was dating their daughter first. Only then would he be more at ease.

For that, he first has to fulfill his promise to her.

He has to study hard and get good grades.

Zhang Yi Hai was still picturing their future together when he realized that something was a little off. He lowered his gaze and saw that his girlfriend had fallen asleep in his arms.

He could not help but chuckle at this scene in front of him.

It seemed that Fang Su Jin was too tired after playing around for a long time.

However... was it alright for her to fall asleep in his arms like this? Did she trust him so much that she would lower her guard like this?

Zhang Yi Hai continued to hug his girlfriend in his arms for a long time. After waiting for a few minutes, Zhang Yi Hai carried her into the guest’s room and tucked her into bed. He lowered his head to kiss her cheek before finally leaving the bedroom.

...

The next day, Fang Su Jin stayed in Zhang Yi Hai’s apartment until the man returned home in the afternoon. The couple had their lunch together before they left for the airport.

On their way to the airport, the couple did not talk that much. Both of them were feeling under the weather, knowing that Fang Su Jin was going to return to Y City. The next time they could see each other was probably a few weeks or months later.

Fang Su Jin thought that visiting Zhang Yi Hai in Capital City once in a while would be good. However, she could not do it frequently. Zhang Yi Hai was going to be busy with his study and Fang Su Jin did not want to disturb him that much.

As they both arrived at the airport, Zhang Yi Hai helped Fang Su Jin with some procedures before accompanying her until it was time for her to head into the departure hall.

The two of them sat on the steel chair, holding hands while reminding each other what they should do after Fang Su Jin left.

For example, Zhang Yi Hai wanted to have a video call with her. Although he could not be where she was, seeing her face might help him to go through his days.

Soon, the announcement for Fang Su Jin’s flight was announced.

Zhang Yi Hai walked his girlfriend to the entrance before pulling her over to kiss her lips. None of the passersby seemed to mind this scene at the airport.

“Remember to call me when you arrive,” Zhang Yi Hai reminded his girlfriend again.

“I know.” Fang Su Jin nodded obediently.

“Remember to miss me.”

Her lips turned up slightly. “I know.”

Zhang Yi Hai heaved a faint sigh. He kissed her lips one more time. Then, he hugged her tightly and nuzzled his nose in her long hair. Zhang Yi Hai then whispered, “Fang Su Jin, I love you.”
