The snow that hadn't melted yet creaked as she stepped on it, tightening the scarf around her neck. After walking for a long time, she only stopped a car when she felt a little cold.

Ever since she moved away from him, she had never contacted him again. It wasn't that she didn't want to contact him, it was as if they suddenly came to a tacit agreement that she didn't contact him and he didn't contact her.

"Creek." Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder from behind, causing her to subconsciously turn around.

"I've ordered two cups of coffee. Come, let's go sit over there." Han Hao said as he waved the coffee in his hand.

Chen Xi smiled and nodded her head.

The two of them found a table near the window and sat down. Han Hao passed the coffee in his hand to her.

"It's your favorite latte. Add milk and no sugar." Han Hao said softly.

"Thank you." Chen Xi suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry. He clearly remembered every one of her preferences, and other than saying thank you stiffly, she could not say anything else.

Han Hao looked at her somewhat embarrassed expression, and the actions of her unconsciously rubbing her coffee cup on the table. He knew that whenever she was nervous and embarrassed, she would make this small action.

"Brook, are you nervous?" Han Hao remained silent for a while, before smiling and asking.

"No, how could that be?" Chen Xi also laughed.

"How are you recently?" Chen Xi asked.

"Very good, but I'm a little not used to it." Han Hao replied very seriously as he looked her straight in the eye.

"Why?" Chen Xi blurted out these words without even thinking, and only then did she regret asking such a stupid question.

Han Hao laughed softly as he looked down at her with an extremely gentle expression.

"Do you really want to know?"

Chen Xi wanted to bite off her tongue, but she hesitated before speaking.

"Also, I don't really want to know."

"Brook, we were not like this before, when did you become so distant from me? Is it because you know that I like you? " Other than feeling awkward, the only thing Han Hao could do was to keep cold sweat flowing out of his body.

"No, Brother Han Hao, you know, I, I don't want to hurt you, but I can't hurt you either." For the first time, Chen Xi heard Han Hao's intentions. There was no joy in her heart, only bitterness.

"Oh, really? But you know you hurt me when you say that. " Han Hao shook his head with a wry smile.

"Brother Han Hao, I-you are indeed a very good and gentle person. When I was alone and at a loss, you gave me a lot of help, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. You and the Brother Yiran are both equally important to me, and also have the same position." Chen Xi's words were very cryptic, but she knew the smart Han Hao must know the meaning behind them.

Han Hao looked at her and saw that her face was slightly red. He knew that it wasn't because she was shy but because she was anxious. She was anxious to explain to him how she felt towards him, anxious that he couldn't explain it himself.

"You said I'm a very good person, but not the right person, and not even the person in your heart, right?" Han Hao said softly.

Chen Xi didn't want to deny what he said, but she was afraid that if she said it out, it would hurt his heart even more, so she just lowered her head and kept quiet.

Seeing her silence, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How could he not love such a simple and stubborn girl?

But he also knew that she did not love him.

"I saw the news." Han Hao suddenly said.

"What?" Chen Xi subconsciously raised her head.

"Tang Family's press conference." Han Hao looked at her as he enunciated each word clearly.

"Yes, yes? "Un, I, I am quite good with the video, am I right?" Chen Xi laughed awkwardly.

"Yes, she is very beautiful, very much like the President of the Tang Family's madam. She is also very suitable to be a Mrs. Tang." Han Hao said indifferently.

Chen Xi smiled sincerely.

"Thank you."

They fell silent again, each of them looking out the window.

The snow on the street was scattered by the people walking past, leaving only water on the ground. Chen Xi stared outside the window without saying a word.

"He'll give you the happiness you want, won't he? You love him a lot too, don't you? " In the end, it was Han Hao who broke the silence.

"Yeah, I didn't know what love was before, but he taught me what love was and made me fall in love with him. Brother Han Hao, thank you for helping me, but in my heart, you are just as important." Chen Xi suddenly felt as if she had opened up the two main meridians. When it came to Tang Hongbo, she suddenly no longer felt nervous or perturbed.

Even in front of Han Hao, she did not cower. Even if she knew that saying such words would harm him, she just wanted to tell him that the person he loved was Tang Hongbo.

"I understand, I will never be able to enter your heart, but what if I met you first? Will you fall in love with me? " Han Hao asked.

Chen Xi smiled faintly.

"How can there be so many 'ifs' in this world? Even if there is, I will still meet him in the future. How can you guarantee that I won't have any feelings for him? In fact, sometimes love really does not distinguish between the first and last, and it has always been like this. "

"So, no matter who you meet first, the person you love won't be me, right? So, no matter who we meet first, as long as it's Tang Hongbo right? " Han Hao said calmly.

Chen Xi sighed.

"Brother Han Hao, you actually know my answer very well, why do you need to confirm it again and again? It will only hurt you a little more, but I don't want to do it, you know? Brother Yiran told me to not hurt you, and to minimize the damage. Brother Han Hao, you know everything right? " Chen Xi said as she choked with sobs.

Han Hao's eyes flashed with tears, he turned and looked out the window, not allowing Chen Xi to see his expression.

When he turned around, he had already regained his calm appearance.

I don't want to leave any thoughts for myself. In the past, I can still lie to myself, and as long as you don't tell me who the person in your heart is, I still have a chance. But now, I can't lie anymore, other than making myself give up, what else can I do? I know that my love cannot compare to his feelings for you, but the one I lost to wasn't him, but you, because I don't have your determination and perseverance, so I can always wait with no hope.

Chen Xi's eyes reddened. She even said that it was unavoidable that she hurt him.

"I'm sorry..." Chen Xi covered her face with her hands and sobbed.

"Don't say you're sorry, I'm the one who should be apologizing. It was I who interrupted your life and tried to squeeze into it, bringing you trouble and inconvenience." Han Hao laughed gently, but Chen Xi could clearly see bitterness and sorrow in his smile.

She knew that the fact that she did not love him was already hurting him.

She could only have one heart, and could only love one person in her entire life.

Even if she refused, he was still so gentle. He always had an important place in her heart, not love but family love.

"No, Brother Han Hao, I have let you down. As long as you need me in the future, as long as I can do it, as long as you ask me, I will definitely help you." This was the only promise Chen Xi could give his.

"Alright, I believe you." Han Hao said.

Chen Xi looked at him, thought for a while, and asked with uncertainty.

"We're still good friends, right?"

"As long as you need me, I will always be behind you." Be your friend, be what you want me to be.

As long as you turn your head, you will see that I am willing to be your safe haven for your entire life. But maybe, you will never stop, Han Hao muttered in his heart, as if he was making a promise to himself.

"You see, it's snowing again?" Chen Xi turned her head to look out the window. At some point in time, snowflakes that were like catkins had begun to float outside.

"Yeah, it's almost the new year." Han Hao muttered.

"Yeah, time passes really quickly, I've been back for quite a few months already." Chen Xi replied softly.

"Will you be going back to France this year?" Han Hao asked.

"I don't know, I don't think so. You know, my parents always travel during New Year's, and there are only Brother Yiran and I at home. He should be back this year, right? What about you?" Chen Xi asked.

"I've booked a plane ticket for next week. I'll leave as soon as this business is over." Han Hao said.

Chen Xi was startled.

"Why so sudden? What about a month before the new year? Why are you leaving so early? "

"It's nothing. I don't have anything to worry about here anymore. Besides work, there's no point for me to stay. Why don't I go back earlier? My mom already started urging me to go back last week." Han Hao said unconcernedly.

When Chen Xi saw the sorrow in his eyes, she really wanted to say, could it be that she and Chen Yiran were not worth his concern? But she couldn't say it.

Because she had no right to say that now, she couldn't give him any hope, so even if she wanted him to stay and join her first jewelry show, she had no reason to.

"Is that so …" She could only reply with these two words.

"Happy New Year, Creek." Han Hao suddenly said. Nonsense.

"What?" Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh, thinking that he was joking.

"There's still more than a month before the new year?" Chen Xi added.
