On the way home, I felt a bit down. Zhao Hanyu seemed to notice my mood and smiled, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy because you didn't perform well after the argument?"
"Of course not," I sighed.
"Then why?"
I looked out at the scenery passing by and my thoughts drifted away. "I just feel like my judgment used to be a bit poor."
Zhao Hanyu paused for a moment, then his expression turned slightly unpleasant. "You... liked him before?"
I shook my head and then nodded. "I wouldn't say it was liking; I just thought that guy was pretty good—handsome, good at studying, and had a sense of justice."
Zhao Hanyu scoffed, his tone filled with disdain. "What is he? Does he even compare to me?"
I looked at him, feeling somewhat helpless.
Zhao Hanyu hugged my arm and gently shook it. "Why do you think he's good-looking? I'm much better looking than him."
That was true. Zhao Hanyu's appearance was indeed outstanding.
I nodded. "That's because he helped me."
Zhao Hanyu looked at me with some confusion, waiting for me to continue.
I sighed again. "It was during the school anniversary; the teachers were strict about uniforms, and anyone not wearing one would be punished."
"I wasn't wearing a uniform at that time and was worried about being scolded by the teacher while rushing down the hallway when Ji Hui lent me his uniform."
Zhao Hanyu looked bewildered. "Huh? That happened?"
I nodded. "At that time, I really thought he was a good person."
Zhao Hanyu tugged at the corner of his mouth, looking at me with a complicated expression. "Are you... sure that person was Ji Hui?"
I was taken aback for a moment.
Zhao Hanyu cleared his throat. "I was also punished that day, and I was wearing a mask too."
I froze, suddenly feeling that something was off.
Zhao Hanyu sighed. "Were you too anxious back then to see clearly? After you brought back the uniform, I looked at it for a long time; there was a piece of fruit candy on it, and it smelled like grapefruit."
I was stunned.
With what Zhao Hanyu said, I suddenly remembered that the uniform did indeed smell like grapefruit. Because I had mentioned before that I really liked the scent of grapefruit, Zhao Hanyu must have remembered it.
Seeing me silent, Zhao Hanyu grew anxious. "Are you really sure that person was Ji Hui?"
I carefully recalled the situation from that day. Ji Hui and Zhao Hanyu were standing together, both wearing masks. I couldn't see their faces clearly; I only felt they were both quite tall. Then Ji Hui handed me the uniform.
Suddenly, it hit me: "The person who gave me the uniform that day was you?!"
Zhao Hanyu nodded. "Yeah."
I stared wide-eyed at Zhao Hanyu, momentarily at a loss for words.
Zhao Hanyu held my hand gently and said, "Think about it, I'm much taller than him. Even if I were to lend you clothes, it should be from me. His clothes would definitely be too big for you."
"And besides, how could he voluntarily lend you his clothes? He's such a particular person; there's no way he would tolerate his clothes getting dirty."
I was taken aback.
Zhao Hanyu was right. Ji Hui was a very particular person; he would never willingly lend me his clothes. At that moment, I was too close to being scolded by the teacher to think much of it, but looking back now, it really was suspicious.
I frowned and asked, "But why would Ji Hui impersonate you?"
Zhao Hanyu scoffed, "Because he hates me."
"Hates you? Why?"
"Because at that time, he was very popular with the girls and had better grades than I did. Plus, he mistreated small animals to maintain his image, so he framed me with rumors."
Suddenly, everything clicked into place for me.
Zhao Hanyu held my hand seriously and said, "He impersonated me and spread rumors about me. I will not let him get away with it."
I nodded and reminded him, "And we can't just let the animal abuse thing slide either."
Zhao Hanyu nodded, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.
As we went upstairs, I noticed that Zhao Hanyu was still a bit upset.
I couldn't help but hold his hand to comfort him. "I really didn't know before, that's why I..."
Zhao Hanyu suddenly threw me onto the bed.
He pinned me down and spoke in a low voice, "Do you know that you've mistaken me three times?"
I paused for a moment before realizing.
The first time was during a dare when I almost kissed someone else.
The second time was when I got out of the car and almost mistook someone else for him.
The third time was just now in the private room when I almost mistook someone else for him again.
I weakly explained, "I have face blindness..."
Zhao Hanyu gently pecked my lips and said, "Face blindness is not an excuse; wrong is wrong."
"So... what do you want?"
Zhao Hanyu kissed me again and said, "Of course, you'll have to pay the price."
Later on, I found out I was pregnant.
Zhao Hanyu was both happy and worried.
He was happy because we were about to welcome a new life.
He was worried because my symptoms in early pregnancy were quite severe.
Every time I saw Zhao Hanyu's face, I couldn't help but feel nauseous.
Zhao Hanyu found this very puzzling.
He couldn't understand why his face made me feel sick.
He tried not to look at me, but he was worried about my condition and could only call to ask how I was doing. I found it amusing when I heard him. In fact, it wasn't that I felt nauseous just by seeing his face; it was that my morning sickness was so severe that I felt like throwing up no matter what I looked at.
Zhao Hanyu felt a bit relieved after hearing my explanation. However, he still thought that his face had been misunderstood. A few days later, he suddenly ordered a mask. The face on that mask belonged to the male protagonist of a game, my favorite character.
Zhao Hanyu noticed that ever since he started wearing that mask, I no longer experienced any nausea. Not only did I stop feeling sick, but my appetite also improved. Zhao Hanyu felt a bit wronged; he thought his face had been unfairly judged. Looking at the grievance on Zhao Hanyu's face, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He shot me a glare and said, "You're still laughing!" I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, taking off his mask and giving a gentle kiss on the corner of his lips. "What's wrong? Don't you like this face?"
Zhao Hanyu huffed, "No, I just think my face is quite good-looking." I nodded and replied, "Yes, I think so too." Zhao Hanyu's eyes lit up: "Really?"
I nodded again, "Of course it's true. I like your face; I love looking at you." Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanyu's heart soared with joy. He began to kiss me again, continuously kissing until I could hardly breathe. I could only respond to him.
Life is long and there will be plenty of time ahead; I will always recognize you, I silently thought to myself.
(The End)
