Arriving at the hotel and checking into a room, Jiang Han handed the room card to Xu Hongdou and Wang Lin. With a mischievous smile on his face, he winked and said, "You guys go up first. Ling Xiao and I will go get some water and be back soon."
After saying that, he dragged Ling Xiao out of the hotel without any explanation.
The two quickly walked into a small supermarket, and Jiang Han casually took four bottles of water and walked to the front desk.
His eyes suddenly lit up and he picked up a box of Okamoto from the shelf above the cash register.
Ling Xiao's eyes were as sharp as an eagle and he caught this scene instantly.
His face turned red all the way to his ears, as if he had been caught doing something bad. He quickly turned around and walked to the door, pretending that he didn't know Jiang Han.
After paying, Jiang Han swaggered out of the supermarket.
He directly opened the box of Okamoto, tore off one, and forced it into Ling Xiao's hand like throwing a grenade.
Ling Xiao's eyes widened in shock, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg in. "What are you doing?"
Jiang Han rolled his eyes, put his hands on his hips, and said unhappily, "Why are you pretending? Just take it if I give it to you. Don't be so hesitant."
After saying that, he walked straight forward without looking back.
Ling Xiao turned around and glanced secretly at the cashier. The cashier's half-smile made him even more embarrassed. His face turned red like a ripe tomato, and he quickly trotted to catch up.
In fact, Ling Xiao felt very aggrieved. He really wanted to explain to Jiang Han that Wang Lin came to the hotel because she really wanted to have a date, and they were not yet at the point where they were so close that they could sleep in the same bed.
Fortunately, he held back and didn't say anything, otherwise, with Jiang Han's violent temper, he would definitely scold him and call him a big fool.
In Jiang Han's opinion, Wang Lin didn't want to do this kind of thing by not going home late at night. No one would believe it. It was obvious that Wang Lin wanted to promote the relationship between them.
Ling Xiao knocked on the door with trepidation and walked into the room with two bottles of mineral water tightly in his hands.
This is a small standard room with two single beds neatly placed and the bathroom right at the door.
The light in the room was dim and soft, not the bright and glaring incandescent light. In Ling Xiao's eyes, the light was like an ambiguous filter, making his heart pound.
He carefully placed the water on the table, scratched the back of his head awkwardly with his right hand, not daring to look at Wang Lin, and stammered, "Do you want to take a shower first?"
Wang Lin was actually quite nervous, but she pretended to be calm, raised her chin, and said casually, "I washed before I left home. You can go first."
"Okay." Ling Xiao quickly picked up two pieces of clothes and hurried into the bathroom as if he had received a special pardon.
After staying in there for five or six minutes, he came out, moving as quickly as a frightened rabbit.
He put the dirty clothes he had taken off into the plastic bag provided by the supermarket, planning to take them back to the dormitory to wash them tomorrow.
When Wang Lin saw him come out, she took a deep breath and went into the bathroom.
When she came out, Ling Xiao was looking down with his eyes fixed on his phone. He didn't know what he was looking at, but his fingers kept swiping across the screen.
When Wang Lin passed by the cabinet, he accidentally touched a plastic bag. With a "crash", the plastic bag fell to the ground.
They both looked at the ground at the same time.
Wang Lin's eyes widened instantly and a trace of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and hurriedly squatted down to pick up the plastic bag.
But just as she picked up the plastic bag, the Okamoto that Jiang Han had forced upon Ling Xiao slipped and fell to the ground like a naughty elf.
For a moment, time seemed to freeze, and the air grew unusually heavy. Ling Xiao rushed forward like a madman, picking up Okamoto. His face instantly flushed red as if on fire, and his ears burned red.
Wang Lin paused, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he pretended not to know and asked, "What is it?"
"Oh, it's...it's chewing gum." Ling Xiao's voice changed due to guilt. He was afraid that Wang Lin would ask him to stretch out his hands. As soon as he said that, he gritted his teeth and stuffed Okamoto into his mouth. He chewed it hard twice. His expression was so painful as if he was chewing Coptis chinensis.
Wang Lin's eyes widened with surprise at first, but soon a sly smile appeared on his face. He then asked meaningfully, "Was it given by Jiang Han?"
Ling Xiao nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice.
"Big fool." Wang Lin gave him a reproachful look, chuckled and shook her head, then turned around and lay back down on the bed.
Ling Xiao rushed into the bathroom as if his butt was on fire.
A few seconds later, Wang Lin heard a retching sound coming from inside. She turned sideways, covered her mouth with her hands, and laughed so hard that her shoulders were shaking.
Compared with the two of them who were reserved and shy, Jiang Han and Xu Hongdou seemed much more unrestrained.
As soon as Jiang Han returned to the room, Xu Hongdou stuck to him like a docile kitten, hugging his arms with her arms and resting her head on his shoulder.
When she heard Jiang Han complain about back pain, her eyes lit up immediately and she said excitedly, "Dear, lie down on the bed and I'll give you a massage."
As she spoke, she pushed Jiang Han onto the bed, sat lightly on top of him, and gently kneaded his waist with her small hands.

227: Red Beans: Give Birth to a Baby
The next morning, soft sunlight shone into the room through the gauze curtains, gently covering the two people on the bed like a layer of gauze.
The air conditioner was turned on at 22 degrees Celsius all night. Xu Hongdou was frozen and curled up into a ball, like a little hedgehog, and kept burrowing into Jiang Han's arms.
Her long hair fell on the pillow like a waterfall, and her fair shoulders were gently covered by Jiang Han's big hands. The two of them snuggled up tightly, lying on their sides facing the same direction, like a warm painting.
Xu Hongdou opened her eyes first, glanced at the air conditioner temperature in a daze, wrinkled her small nose, and reached out to adjust the temperature to 28 degrees.
She turned her head and saw Jiang Han still sleeping soundly. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a mischievous smile.
She quietly changed her direction, lay down again, and then quietly put one leg on Jiang Han's leg.
Jiang Han seemed to have telepathy and put one foot on her leg. The two of them soon became tightly entangled like an octopus.
Xu Hongdou put her face against Jiang Han's chest and rubbed it gently, her voice as soft as a spring breeze: "No matter how busy you are tomorrow, stay with me for another day."
Jiang Han's arms tightened, his voice still thick with sleep as he mumbled, "We weren't planning on being busy on May 520th anyway. Let's go to Wang Jing's house this morning. She's expecting a baby at the end of September."
"Oh." Xu Hongdou responded with a hint of laziness in her tone.
Wang Jing is Xu Hongdou’s mother’s best friend. She majored in fashion design and recently settled in Kyoto after returning from abroad.
Afterwards, Jiang Han recruited her into Jiayue.
"Also..." Jiang Han paused, deliberately keeping the question in suspense.
"What else?" Xu Hongdou raised her head, blinked, and looked at him curiously.
Jiang Han opened his eyes and looked at her seriously, but there was a mischievous glint in his eyes: "Also, I have to go to the hospital to check my ears."
"What's wrong with your ear?" Xu Hongdou immediately became nervous and frowned slightly.
"I don't know either, I just haven't heard you say 'I love you' recently." Jiang Han raised his lips with a wicked smile.
Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, then reacted. She coquettishly twisted Jiang Han's waist with her small hands and said, "Hateful!" She cupped Jiang Han's cheeks with both hands, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly, "I love you... Do you hear me?"
"No." Jiang Han shook his head in a serious tone.
Xu Hongdou persisted, her voice soft but firm: "I love you, I love you, I love you! What about now?"
Jiang Han finally couldn't help laughing out loud, his eyes curved into crescents: "Now I hear it."
He suddenly turned over and pressed Xu Hongdou under him, with a sly smile on his face: "It's still early, let's hurry up and finish what we didn't do last night."
"..." Xu Hongdou's face flushed instantly. She pushed him gently, but he held her tightly.
?
At around ten o'clock, Jiang Han and Xu Hongdou came to Wang Jing's house hand in hand.
Wang Jing, who is due to give birth at the end of next month, has a bulging belly that looks like a fruit full of hope.
She sat on the sofa with a happy smile on her face, but there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
As soon as Xu Hongdou entered the room, she ran to Wang Jing like a happy little deer, lay on her belly, her eyes shining, and listened carefully to the fetal movements.
Jiang Han sat on a chair nearby and said to Wang Jing with a smile, "Auntie said she will come around the 25th of next month."
"I already know." Wang Jing nodded with a smile, a hint of anticipation in her tone.
Wang Jing sighed softly, frowning slightly: "I didn't intend to trouble your aunt, but the closer it gets to the due date, the more panicked I become.
Without anyone around, I feel like there's a little rabbit in my heart, always scared."
"That's normal." Jiang Han quickly comforted her, his tone gentle but firm, "Auntie, have you thought of a name for the baby?"
"I've thought about it, a lot, but I still can't make up my mind."
Wang Jing's eyes lit up, and she excitedly opened her phone and handed the names she had chosen to Jiang Han. "Just in time for you to come, help me see which one sounds better."
Xu Hongdou also came over, and the two of them studied the names carefully together.
Jiang Han frowned and said seriously: "Wenyi, Siyang, Zeyu, Zixuan... Auntie, forget about Zixuan. Many people use this name these days. It's too similar and has no uniqueness."
"Then delete it." Wang Jing nodded with a smile, a hint of helplessness in her tone.
The three of them gathered together, carefully selecting names, and spent most of the day just looking at the names.
Jiang Han used his intelligence to eliminate several names that he was not satisfied with. Xu Hongdou also followed suit and picked and chose, and finally only five names were left.
Jiang Han's eyes lit up, and he suggested with a smile, "Write these five names on a small piece of paper. When the baby is born, give him the name he catches. Let him decide for himself. How meaningful it is."
"Good idea!" Wang Jing clapped her hands happily, and the worry on her face was lessened a little.
?
During lunch, the topic naturally turned to the summer catwalk show.
As the company's guest designer, Wang Jing has been following this event.
She hadn't expected Jiang Han to make this event so successful, creating such a huge impact online. She couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up and praised him, "Jiang Han, you're amazing! You've made this event so successful."
When talking about this, we have to mention the YW new product fashion show on October 2nd.
This event is scheduled to be held on October 2nd. Even if Jiang Han goes back at the end of the month, he will definitely not have enough time.
Wang Jing smiled and said, "Li Xiaoli has already told me about this. I called Gu Jia and gave her the WeChat of a show director. This person has a lot of experience in this area. If she does it, it shouldn't go wrong."
"That's great." Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
?
After dinner, while Jiang Han was in the bathroom, Wang Jing took Xu Hongdou's hand, her eyes gleaming with gossip, and asked softly with a smile: "Hongdou, I heard from your mother that you and Jiang Han are already living together. How is it going? When are you going to get married?"
Xu Hongdou's face flushed instantly. She lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise: "It's... still early."
Her voice was as light as a feather, yet full of sweetness.
Wang Jing looked at her, her eyes full of tenderness: "Okay then, Jiang Han is a good boy, and I will be relieved if you two are together."
Xu Hongdou raised her head, her eyes sparkling with happiness: "Thank you, Auntie, we will be fine."
The two smiled at each other, as if everything was said without words.

The afternoon sun shines through the gaps between the mottled leaves and falls on the paths in the courtyard, forming patterns of interwoven light and shadow.
Xu Hongdou sat quietly on a bench in the garden, holding an exquisite collection of poems in her hands, immersed in the beautiful verses.
At this time, Aunt Yang Lin came slowly from the corridor with light steps. Her face was filled with a gentle smile and her eyes were full of concern.
Xu Hongdou was slightly startled and the poetry collection in her hand almost slipped. She quickly sat up straight and nodded obediently, with a faint blush on her face.
Everyone around her already knew about this matter. It was like a tacit secret among everyone, and there was really nothing to hide. Xu Hongdou herself hadn't realized that she didn't feel embarrassed at all when it came to this topic. It was as if everything had become so natural.
Aunt Yang Lin walked over to Xu Hongdou, sat down gently, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"
That gentle tone seemed to carry an invisible magic that made people feel extremely at ease.
Xu Hongdou's cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Auntie, please don't ask anymore."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and unconsciously fiddled with the corners of her clothes with her hands. She looked shy, like a flower in bud waiting to bloom.
Aunt Yang Lin looked at Xu Hongdou's adorable appearance and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha, now you know how to be shy."
She reached out and gently took Xu Hongdou's small hand. Her action was full of love, as if she was treating her own daughter.
Aunt Yang Lin, with a smile on her face, said earnestly, "Your mother should have told you everything I need to tell you. I'll just teach you one thing: love is like multiplication. As long as one side is zero, the answer to love is zero.
Dating and living together are two different things. Dating does not require you to meet every day, but living together requires you to stay together for years and months.
When two people stay together every day, conflicts are inevitable.
But before you get angry, think carefully about the consequences.
Although love is strong, it is also very fragile."
