Chapter Thirteen: A Strange Encounter on a Spring Night

  On this intoxicating spring night, there are stars and moon, mountains and water, fragrant flowers and birdsong, as well as a fiery and arrogant heart. This is a season that needs nourishment, a season that needs love. How many calls are hidden in the dark of night, wordless whispers echoing the inexpressible heartbeat.

  Let the heart have a rain, and moisturize the spring scene of February. However, there is only this river moon color that needs to be shared with others. Xia Meng sat in the back seat of Li Han's car, humming an out-of-tune song, "The moon walks, I walk too!"

  This is a rare night of flowers and moonlight, picking off a fragrant flower, sending away the uneasy heart. The night quietly blooms. The nights of early spring and summer belong to lovers. Li Han wakes up alone on a spring breeze-intoxicated night, can't give Zhang Li an opportunity! The city's night is a world of light.

  When the sunset gathered its last rays, the streetlights on the streets lit up one by one. Looking ahead, they stretched endlessly, and looking back, they seemed to have no end, like a string of bright pearls suspended in the night sky, or a fiery dragon flying through the darkness.

  Li Han rode his bike at top speed, the wind blowing Summer's skirt high into the air, scaring her so much that she cried out from the back seat: "Slow down, White Egg!" Li Han laughed loudly with pride, unbridled in his youth.

  The colorful neon lights on both sides of the street are flashing with dazzling light. The stars on the billboards, under the illumination of the lights, smile even more brightly and attractively. The car lights coming and going, like flying fireflies, adorn the city under the night sky.

  The lights of the high-rise buildings, against the backdrop of night, were like a waterfall hanging on the stone wall, and also like a light waterfall pouring down, making the city look crystal clear and more magnificent. After crossing several roads, Li Han locked his car under a tree and took her into a small alley, stopping in front of a dessert shop.

  Inside, all kinds of mango desserts made Xia Meng's mouth water, and she swallowed hard. "Girl, you have a lot of weaknesses, do you know? I've been tolerating humiliation for over 10 years by your side, now do you know what to do?" Li Han stared at Xia Meng intensely.

  Xia Meng fearlessly met his gaze: "Are you going to rebel?" Li Han's eyes, which he thought were very cool and sharp, gradually dimmed under Xia Meng's intense stare. In fact, he really wanted to say: "You're not suitable for anyone, only suitable for me!" But he knew that if he said so, he would be in big trouble.

  Xia Meng ordered a large amount of food and drinks in front of her, while Li Han only asked for a cup of mango juice, drinking it slowly. "Where did you go when the fireworks were lit?" Li Han asked calmly.

  "Zhang Li invited me to the rooftop of Teaching Building No. 1." Xia Meng felt no need to hide her loyalty to her class.

  "What did he say to you?"

  "Nothing was said yet and you were called down by your phone!" Xia Meng replied with a bad tone.

  Li Han heard this and let out a relieved sigh. "Girl, to be honest, the kind of guy that's suitable for you needs to have a unique charm, wild, handsome, sunny, like me..."

  Xia Meng angrily stuffed a piece of mango into his mouth. "A jinx like you? Hey, do you know that the bag of mangoes you gave me at the beginning of school made me have diarrhea for a week! I couldn't even participate in military training, did you know that?"

  "What? No way?" Li Han stuttered, his face red and ears burning, "That was given to me by Qin Lang at school, you know him too, he wouldn't harm me, would he?"

  "Hmph, he won't harm anyone, but you will! Think carefully, as long as I'm alone with you, something's bound to happen! You're my natural enemy, born to torment me! Who knows what'll happen tonight!" Xia Meng kicked him in annoyance.

  "That's impossible!" Li Han felt a bit guilty. The most severe case was the eve of the junior high school entrance examination, when Li Han made an appointment with Xia Meng in the first floor hall of the newly completed teaching building. Since the new teaching building had not yet been put into use, very few people went there. When he stood in front of Xia Meng, just about to confess, before he even opened his mouth, suddenly a large piece of plaster fell from the top of the wall and hit Xia Meng's head.

  Xia Meng covered her head, and fresh blood flowed out from between her fingers! Her head was smashed with a hole, and she got 5 stitches in the hospital! "Hmph, do you remember? In the third year of junior high school, you nervously asked me to meet at the new teaching building, and I had to wear a hat to school after getting stitched on a hot summer day! What's even more torturous is that I couldn't wash my hair for a month, and it stank!"

  Li Han muttered: "If it weren't for this matter, who would have discovered that our school's engineering is corrupt!"

  "I'm now going out with you alone, we must be prepared to die!" Xia Meng glared at Li Han.

  Li Han burst out laughing: "If it weren't for this, how could you clearly remember every detail of our dates?!"

  With their stomachs full in protest, Xia Meng and Li Han finally left the dessert shop with satisfaction.

  The night is soft at this moment. The moonlight is hazy, the starlight is bewildering, the lamplight is resplendent, and the colorful lights are intertwined, flowing with a silvery glow. The wind is gently and softly flying, and the huge wings are affectionately touching everything. This moonlight, starlight, and lamplight, this gentle breeze, weave together into an infinitely charming net, wrapping up all things in the world, making people sleep contentedly in the warm atmosphere, sinking into a sweet and beautiful dreamland.

  Suddenly, a figure darted past in the darkness. A young woman shouted from behind: "Robbery! Someone's been robbed!" Li Han turned around and chased after the man in front. Xia Meng also hastened to chase after him.

  At the end of the alley, Xia Meng saw Li Han catch up with the boy who robbed him. The boy suddenly pulled out a knife and swung it viciously: "You little brat, mind your own business!"

  "Be careful, Li Han!" Xia Meng shouted anxiously.

  "Mind your own business and leave quickly!" Li Han shouted back at Xia Meng.

  In the instant Li Han turned around, the boy stabbed at him with a knife. Li Han dodged to the side, and the knife grazed his shoulder. He kicked out with one foot, striking the boy's hand that held the knife, causing the man to stumble backward several steps! "You little brat, you're looking for death!" The knife-wielding man charged at Li Han, stabbing wildly. Li Han remained calm and composed, not panicked or flustered. He ducked down, avoiding the man's knife, then turned around and grabbed the man's hand that held the knife. The boy fiercely kicked Li Han in the lower body with his foot.

  Li Han Yi exerted his strength, pinning the boy's hands behind his back. The boy struggled with all his might. Xia Meng picked up a stone from the ground and slapped it onto the boy's head with a "slap" sound. The boy let out a muffled groan as the knife fell to the ground. This was absolutely Xia Meng's style, Li Han Yi looked at Xia Meng in front of him, without revealing any surprise in his eyes.

  "Just let you go, why don't you leave?" Li Han blamed Xia Meng, but he also knew that Xia Meng would definitely not leave.

  "I won't let you go!" Xia Meng said calmly. Li Han knew that he hadn't misjudged, this girl was someone he needed to cherish for his whole life, and he couldn't afford to lose her just because he was in a hurry to rush off.

  Just then, the young woman arrived with the police.

  The police looked at Li Han, who was injured, and said: "You all come with me to the police station for a statement!"

  After finishing the transcription at the police station, it was already past 3 o'clock in the morning.

  At this moment, the night is already very deep. At this time, the city has returned to calmness, and even the bustling streets during the day: those ear-piercing hawkers' calls; those crowded and noisy scenes; all have become unusually quiet. In the sky, the twinkling stars are still blinking with bright eyes, tirelessly decorating this dark and romantic night. The moonlight pours down without any obstruction, like water, and the hazy moon color is like a veil that appears and disappears, adding a unique beauty to this silent night.

  "Let's go, let's get the wound bandaged at the hospital!" Xia Meng looked at Li He's cut mouth, which was about 6 centimeters long, but the wound wasn't deep.

  "I'm not going to the hospital, I want to go home, bandage me!" The heroic demeanor from just fighting with the thugs was gone, replaced by a look that needed protection.

  Xia Meng couldn't help but push the cart, "Meaning to say, I have to ride a bike with you?"

  Li Han pointed at his wound, deliberately showing a painful expression, "A patient like me..."

  Xia Meng was speechless, Li Han sat in the back seat, smiling contentedly. "Hey, I'm asking you, how many kilograms are you? You're so heavy!" Xia Meng rode the bike, but the head of the dragon refused to listen and twisted away.

  Li Han wrapped his arms around Xia Meng's waist from behind: "Height is probably 187 cm +, weight is about 145!"

  "What's wrong! Let go of me! Are you going to let go or not? If not, I'll throw you out onto the street!" Xia Meng grasped the handlebars, staring straight ahead, her hands trembling with fear.

  Li Han pouted and reluctantly withdrew his hand. "Is this how you treat patients?"

  The gentle breeze blew the unique scent of Xia Meng's body into Li Han's heart, and he became intoxicated, lost in this spring night.

  Xia Meng brought Li Han home, drew hot water, took off Li Han's top, and carefully wiped the bloodstains around his shoulders clean. When she looked up, she found that Li Han was staring at her absent-mindedly.

  "Are you kidding me? Didn't I say so? As long as we're alone together, something unexpected always happens!" Xia Meng said.

  Li Han just smiled and watched as Xia Meng worked busily with her hands and feet moving like a spinning top.

  Xia Meng used disinfectant water to first disinfect Li He's wound, then sprayed medicine on it.

  "Look at the muscles on me, aren't they robust?" Li Han puffed out his chest and walked back and forth in front of Xia Meng.

  "It seems like nothing's wrong with you now, the sky is brightening up, I didn't get any rest all night, and I have to head back to school!" Xia Meng said while packing her things.

  "Ow, ow, it really hurts! Is it because I lost too much blood? My hands can't even lift a bit of strength!" Li Han hurriedly groaned in pain, curled up on the sofa, and half-closed his eyes to observe Xia Meng's reaction.

  "Stop pretending to be pitiful! Get up!" Xia Meng kicked him in the body.

  "It's really painful! I want to take a bath, but my pants, my hands are weak, can't take them off!" Li Han was delighted in his heart, but his face was innocent.

  "If you can't take it off, then don't wash it!" Xia Meng looked at him with an expressionless face.

  "I won't be able to sleep if I don't take a bath. Considering we've been classmates for over 10 years, can you help me out?"

  Here is the translation:

  "Here we go again! Xia Meng couldn't help but look at Li Han in front of her, who was lowering his eyebrows and looking pitiful. "You... you... you..."

  Xia Meng roughly climbed onto the sofa, lying on his legs, first unbuttoning his pants and then pulling them down. Li Han's inner heart couldn't help but surge with excitement, a hot flow rushing down to his lower body. Li Han prayed: Ah, second brother, you must hold back a bit, don't get hard at this time and scare her! But the one part of his body that Li Han couldn't control was his second brother, which often thought independently and didn't listen to orders!

  This fire came too fiercely, burning too strongly, as if it wanted to burn Li Han into ashes. Li Han couldn't help but repeatedly beg for mercy: "I suddenly feel energized! I'm energized!" and fled in a hurry.
