four

The night sky, resembling blue velvet, is dotted with twinkling stars that shimmer like diamonds, reflecting in her smiling eyes

Are you going out with Zheng Hao later?

Hello, is this Su Han? I am currently out for a night run and will soon be downstairs at your building. Do you have time to come out? I would like to take the opportunity to discuss this week's training schedule with you

She hesitated and delayed: "Not here yet? Just wait a little longer, maybe they will come soon!"

Alright! Thank you!

Zheng Hao shook his head with a smile and suddenly walked towards her without any warning

Why not go to the right? Didn't Xu Zhe say he was unfamiliar with the terrain? How come he is even clearer than her?

Su Han turned off her phone's ringtone, but to her surprise, it rang again. She turned it off once more, and it rang again... In the tolerant gaze of Zheng Hao, she finally broke down and answered the call

Xu Zhe widened his eyes, wearing an expression that clearly conveyed "Are you kidding me?"

Su Han felt inexplicably guilty for a moment: "Um, you can leave the dishes there, I will wash them when I come back"

As soon as Su Han arrived downstairs and met Zheng Hao, her phone rang

How did you know we were going for a night run? Did you... did you eavesdrop on my phone call?

"Night run? Sure, sure!" Without considering the consequences, Su Han readily agreed, as she had just eaten quite a bit and needed to exercise. "I really need to work out! I'll head downstairs now, see you in a bit!"

"Why are you being so fierce?" came Xu Zhe's languid voice from the other end of the phone, "When is your delivery finally going to arrive? I'm about to mold from waiting!"

As soon as the words fell, suddenly, the noisy ringtone of a mobile phone rang out again

Su Han, if you are going to run later, just walk straight down the road to the left of the community. The road on the right has issues with the streetlights; the lighting is too dim and it is not safe

Zheng Hao is wearing a gray sports suit today, appearing both bright and handsome. He chuckled softly and said, "What? Is your cousin nagging again?"

I apologize, I apologize

Su Han tossed her hair and said cheerfully, "It's all good, everyone takes great care of me, I'm not tired at all!"

After hanging up the phone, she held the slightly warm device, reminiscing about Zheng Hao's steady and deep voice, leaning against the door with a look of longing.

Is it good or not? Please, I beg you! Seeing a glimmer of hope, Su Han employed her most endearing and charming techniques of coaxing.

Su Han, feeling compelled, could only come up with an excuse: "Oh! I just remembered, I have a package arriving later, and there can't be no one at home! Xu Zhe, could you please help me by staying at home to sign for it when it arrives?"

Su Han raised her eyes and met his deep gaze, feeling guilty and immediately pulling away: "It's not... he just cares about me, that's all."

She opened the door, and whether it was an illusion or not, she felt that Xu Zhe's voice and expression were not as cheerful as they had been a moment ago. He silently returned to his seat, no longer teasing her, and quietly took a few bites of his meal

Su Han was taken aback

She smiled apologetically at Zheng Hao and answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Su Han, do you want the last piece of braised pork?"

Su Han was already overwhelmed and quickly refused: "No more, no more!"

Su Han! You have eaten quite a lot today. Running too fast may cause stomach pain. Zheng Hao might not be able to take care of you, so please pay attention to your health!

Su Han maintained a slightly extended and rigid posture with her foot, and for a moment, her heartbeat accelerated to its peak. She exerted great effort to control herself and avoid becoming tongue-tied: "Yes, indeed..."

Every time during practice, as the assistant of the basketball team, Su Han has to prepare towels and water, ensuring that each player can fully recover their physical strength after training. However, she is just a petite and slender girl, and carrying those heavy drinks all day is truly exhausting

This ringtone was specially set by her for Zheng Hao; as soon as it rings, she knows it is him calling

Oh..." Xu Zhe replied somewhat unhappily

What is wrong with discussing work? I won't affect you! Anyway, I also want to go for a night run!

Su Han obediently put on her phone, and now Xu Zhe not only could find her to talk, but he practically wanted to engage in continuous voice communication, interfering with every move she made with Zheng Hao

At that moment, a melodious sound of the piano rang out, halting her restless hands. Su Han was taken aback, but soon, the anger in her heart transformed into joy

I am your cousin, what is wrong with going together? Besides, I just moved here and am not familiar with the area yet. What if I get lost while running at night by myself?

Before he could finish speaking, Su Han quickly hung up the phone

Her scalp tingled, and she instinctively refused: "No, we are here to discuss work!"

Alright, alright, alright... Have you received the delivery?

Xu Zhe looked over in confusion, while Su Han hurriedly grabbed her phone, ran back to her room, closed the door, and then pressed the answer button: "Captain?"

Zheng Hao couldn't help but break into a smile. He slightly parted his thin lips, just about to say something when suddenly, Su Han's phone rang again

In an instant, Su Han's face turned red. Although she was extremely nervous, deep down she wished that this moment could last longer, could slow down a bit... Fortunately, it was night, and her flushed face was not visible; otherwise, she truly feared that her long-hidden feelings of infatuation would be exposed.

The gentle evening breeze caressed her face, bringing a sense of comfort, yet she could not relax at all due to the presence of Zheng Hao beside her

This time, after hanging up the phone, Su Han resolutely set her phone to silent mode and turned to Zheng Hao, saying: "Captain, rest assured, I have put my phone on silent!"

In any case, reasoning with him is futile, she waved her hand and said, "Alright, but we really need to discuss serious matters, it wouldn't be good for you to go!"

Zheng Hao looked at her with focused eyes and said: "Having just become the assistant of the basketball team, how does it feel? Is it very tough?"

His expression changed repeatedly, and finally he had no choice but to say reluctantly: "Fine! But you have to take your phone with you; I don't want to be home alone, and I won't even be able to find someone to talk to!"

Su Han agreed ambiguously and ran out of the community in one breath, finally letting out a sigh of relief

Such a wonderful atmosphere has been ruined like this

Su Han suddenly froze, standing still in place, not daring to move, until the starlight was completely blocked by him, as if Zheng Hao was enveloped in sunlight, warmly surrounding her

"No." Xu Zhe's tone was very helpless, and there was a "tap tap" sound from the mouse on his side. "I plan to wait while watching a movie..."

Zheng Hao bent down and picked up the shoelaces that Su Han had loosened: "If you do this, you might trip over it without even realizing!"

Xu Zhe! What situation do you have again!

Suddenly, Xu Zhe's voice came from the door, startling her so much that she almost dropped her phone

Xu Zhe's face turned slightly red, and he stubbornly said: "That's not it; it's clearly that the soundproofing is too poor."

Fortunately, I discovered it. Zheng Hao carefully tightened the shoelaces on both sides.

In addition to these responsibilities, she is also tasked with recruiting new members and creating promotional posters for the basketball club

"No need for that," Xu Zhe said, slamming down his chopsticks with a 'bang' and glaring at her fiercely. "I will wash the bowl, but you have to take me with you!"
