C54 (1/2)

The phone had just ended ringing when it rang again.

Zhao Yelin leaned her head against the wall and finally could stand Huo Yelin's persistence. She pressed the answer button.

After two seconds of silence, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. ”Where is it?”

”In the hotel room.” Zhao Yilin whispered pitifully.

Huo Yelin's tone was no different from usual.

”Did you see tonight's news?”

Zhao Yilin took a deep breath. ”No.”

”I knew you wouldn't.”

”So you're going to tell me the news yourself?”

Huo Yelin fell silent, as if he could hear the annoyance in her tone.

”Why aren't you speaking? You didn't call just to ask where I was, did you? ”

Huo Yelin said, ”I did indeed just want to ask where you are right now.”

”Boring. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first.” She hated herself for wanting him to tell her more. She even wanted to fly back to him right away, but as a woman, she couldn't tell him the truth.

Huo Yelin said, ”I'm speaking the truth. As for the matter of which room you live in, I'm too embarrassed to ask others, to ask the hotel reception, and to call your room several times but no one answered. I thought you were kidnapped by someone.”

A thought suddenly flashed through Zhao Yilin's mind when she heard the content of his words and the easy tone of his teasing. However, she did not believe him and asked, ”What do you mean by that? Why do you want to know where I live?” ”Why don't you just call me and ask.”

Huo Yelin smiled. ”Yelin, you should be more daring. Take a look at tonight's news. Perhaps, you won't ask me those questions just now.”

”You, wait a moment!”

Zhao Yelin called up the news, clicking on the entertainment news interface. The first thing she saw was the news of Huo Yelin and Zhao Yueran's engagement: the marriage contract had ended, and the relationship between the Huo and Zhao families had broken down.

Zhao Yilin clicked the title and read the details. She thought she was dreaming. She pinched her own face and cried out in pain, ”Ah!”

”What's wrong?” Huo Yelin asked nervously.

”It's nothing, this …” I don't know what to say. Is it really alright if you break off the engagement with your grandfather and your father in front of so many people? You see, Zhao Yueran has clearly gone mad, calling me Little San everywhere, even saying that she will provide evidence. This is too unbelievable, Huo Yelin. I didn't expect you to be so scary when you go crazy! ”

Huo Yelin's chuckle could be heard on the other end of the phone, ”I thought you were going to praise me like crazy when you saw the news. I didn't expect you to say I was crazy.”

Zhao Yilin was a little embarrassed. ”I was too excited. You can understand my feelings. I won the lottery in a single day. I just had a business the day before yesterday, and I still owe you a debt!”

”Ye Lin, you really are a beautiful person, a cute person.”

This was the first time that Huo Yelin had been sincerely praised by her. Although the words she used were somewhat strange, it greatly satisfied his manly mentality.

He pondered for a moment, then said, ”Don't be in such a hurry to finish your praises. Open the door and tell me face to face.”

Zhao Yilin looked at the door in disbelief. She slowly put down her cell phone and walked to the door step by step. She then carefully put her hand on the handle and pressed it.

The door slowly opened.

Huo Yelin stood in front of the door and looked at her with a smile.

Zhao Yilin covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. She put the phone to her ear again and asked, choked with sobs, ”Who told you to do this?”

Huo Yelin also put his phone to his ear and answered, ”This time, I was the one who thought of it.”

Zhao Yilin couldn't take it anymore and jumped into his arms.

Ah, a film festival, an engagement party, an affair, everything. She seemed to have come to Berlin just to meet him, to hug him, to kiss him.

Huo Yelin was finally satisfied when he saw that her tears and snot were flowing all over her body. He carried her in his arms and closed the door behind him.

There were only two bedside lamps on in the bedroom. The purplish-red lights were soft and romantic.

Huo Yelin placed her on the bed and their bodies sunk into the soft bedding.

Zhao Yelin drank some wine tonight. Coupled with the pleasant surprise Huo Yelin had given her, she seemed to have become a lot more carefree. Her body twisted unbearably as she took Huo Yelin's kiss while reaching out to untie his shirt.

The next day, Zhao Yilin woke up first and found herself lying on top of Luo Yuan. Her face was red as she carefully lay down on the side.

Huo Yelin was sleeping soundly, and even when he touched his lips, there was no reaction.

Zhao Yilin recalled what had happened last night and was still a little shaken.
