The cold past
Back home, sitting on the couch, feeling tired. Thinking of Han's father, she indeed felt a bit sympathetic towards him, running into such a father isn't great either, and she couldn't help but mock herself, wasn't she like that too? Thinking about time, it's almost here.
..
The next day,
"Then then, he came looking for you yesterday, did he say anything? How are you?" Yan had not yet entered the classroom when she saw a worried-looking Han.
"It's nothing, didn't say anything." He replied with a poker face.
"That's good, that's good. But I'm afraid." Looking at Han's cold demeanor, Ran felt a little heartache, but she knew that she only treated him as an older brother and didn't have any extra feelings for him.
"It's okay." He patted him comfortingly. Perhaps he didn't notice that she was no longer as cold-blooded as before, and also knew how to care about others.
Han didn't say anything and pulled Ran out to run away. He started his limited edition Ferrari and sped away like the wind.
By the sea
"Ah~~~" Han shouted towards the vast ocean, "Ran, do you know? Every time I'm feeling down, I come here, see the sea, and feel a little better." Han turned his head to gaze at Ran with deep affection, Ran shifted uncomfortably.
"Heh, maybe you don't know, but being born into a so-called noble family isn't all that great." Han said with self-mockery. "From a young age, I had to do many things and do them well, or they would be unhappy. Only my mother encouraged me, and that was the happiest time for me. When I was 5 years old, my mother left because of him. So I've always hated him, hated him for making my mother leave." Han clenched his fist, but then grasped his hand, giving him silent encouragement. "From then on, I slowly grew up, and to make him lose face, I would date a new girl every day, at most for a few days. I didn't like them, and I knew they only liked my money and status. I'm tired, really tired." Han looked up at the sky, with tears welling up in his eyes.
"Why bother about others? As long as I'm fine, isn't that enough?"
"Seriously, this time... I'm really serious, I really like you, really. I don't know why either, maybe it was because I felt a bit disgusted when I first saw you, but now, I..." Chān hugged his head with both hands, muttering in pain.
"It's cold, you know, I..."
Han interrupted what was about to be said, "Ran Ran, I know what you want to say, don't say it out loud, let me keep some illusions."
"Sorry." But he had always been cold-blooded, yet he really felt heartache for this boy.
"No, don't say sorry to me. Then, even if I can't be with you, let me be your knight and guard you forever. Don't refuse me, okay?"
"Alright."
Hearing this answer, Han smiled coldly and laughed happily.
Many years later, when asked if he had ever regretted it, he still replied with the same firmness. Of course, these are all afterwords.
————————
When I first met you, I didn't know that the current me would love you so dearly. Perhaps that figure is forever etched in my heart and cannot be erased. However, even if we can't be together, I'll still protect you, as long as you're happy. From now on, no matter what happens, you are an important part of my heart. I love you.
