Chapter 4 - Ice Skating

In the car.

"So, what major are you heading for?" he asks while focusing on the road.

"Chinese medicine."

Xu Mi turned her head and saw how tan he had gotten in the past two weeks.

"Did my handsomeness make you can't get your eyes off me?" Xiao Han says jokingly while noticing her stare.

"You're so full of yourself today." Xu Mi saids and lays back on the seat.

A quick smile went across his face, and he continued to drive.

"Where are we going?" as she asks him.

"You'll see when we get there."

Thirty minute pass, and they arrived at the indoor ice skating rink.

"We're going ice skating?" as she asks him.

"You don't want to?" as he turns around and looks at her.

Xu Mi wonders if he's serious. She remembers him saying that ice skating is for girls and that he would never go.

"Let's go," as Xu Mi saids happily and walks in first.

Today is the weekend, so there's a lot of parents with their kid. And because of the height difference, it looks like a father bringing his daughter to ice skating. Xu Mi almost laughed out loud when she thought of that.

"Do you know how to ice skate?" as she asks Xiao Han.

"Are you kidding? Of course I know how to," he saids while wearing the skating shoes.

She didn't even say that he doesn't, but his reaction almost made Xu Mi regret not recording it.

Xu Mi didn't wait for him and went into the rink.

It's almost a year that she hasn't gone skating, and slowly she's picking up the pace. She skated the whole round, and didn't see Xiao Han anywhere.

Xu Mi skates to the entrance of the rink, and sees a group of girls surrounded by him. All asking for his wechat.

Xu Mi isn't sure if she's mad or what. She pushes the groups of girls, and walks up to him.

"Ah Han, so you are here. I was looking for you everywhere," Xu Mi saids and puts her arm around his.

She then smiles at the group of girls, "is there something that I can help you."

All the girls noticed that Xiao Han didn't remove Xu Mi's hand, and so they thought they were really a couple. Then they started to leave.

"You're welcome," as Xu Mi saids and slips her hand away.

"I didn't even ask for your help." Xiao Han saids with a smile on his face.

Xu Mi slightly rolls her eyes. "Whatever. Are you going skating or not?" as she asks him.

As they are skating, Xu Mi couldn't keep her eyes from looking at him. Xu Mi never seen him skate before, and wonders where he got these skills from.

"Are you attracted to my look?" as Xiao Han saids.

"You funny," as Xu Mi saids and skates faster.

Xiao Han smiles and catches up to her.

After an hour of skating, they left the rink and went back.

On the ride going back, Xu Mi wonders what's with him today. He would never bring her out to play for more than an hour.

"Xiao Han, is this a prank or something?" as Xu Mi asks him.

Xiao Han glanced over at her with confusion. "What do you mean?" as he asks while eyes on the road.

"Why did you bring me to skate? You are a person who doesn't like to skate, and all of a sudden you brought me to skate. There must be a twist right?" as she looks at him forcefully.

'This girl,' as he said under his breath.

"You really forgot?" as he said.

Xu Mi doesn't understand what he means. "Is there something that I must remember?" as she saids.

Suddenly, Xiao Han pulls the car over to the side and unbuckles his seat belt.

"What are you doing?" as Xu Mi saids and notices how close he moves to her.

"You really don't remember?" as he voice gets deeper and closer to her.

Xu Mi isn't sure what he means. Is today some type of day or something? As Xu Mi wonders.

She shakes her head and innocently looks at Xiao Han.

"Forget it."

He got back to his seat, and started driving again.

The whole entire ride back, they haven't talked to each other. Xu Mi would glance over from time to time. But Xiao Han wouldn't speak a word.

'He's mad?' as she wonders.
