Zhao Hanyu took me upstairs, leisurely removing the watch. The strap was cold, but his fingertips were hot as they brushed against my wrist, leaving a tingling sensation.
“Zhao Hanyu, it’s not that I’m trying to mistake you for someone else…” I looked into his dark eyes, cautiously swallowing. “I have face blindness, and the lighting there was too dim; I really couldn’t tell.”
I rambled on about my face blindness, then the lighting, then the drinks on the table, and from the drinks to the food, saying a lot while Zhao Hanyu remained silent.
I steeled myself and decided to just let it all go. “Forget it, if you want to punish me, go ahead.”
“I don’t blame you,” Zhao Hanyu suddenly spoke up.
I felt a surge of joy and continued with his words: “I knew you weren’t that kind of person; I also know this isn’t my fault—”
“It’s my fault,” Zhao Hanyu said seriously, looking at me. “If it weren’t for the fact that I always like to turn off the lights, you wouldn’t have trouble seeing my face.”
I instantly felt my cheeks flush and couldn’t respond. Zhao Hanyu’s hands were propped on either side of my body, our distance so close that we could kiss in the next moment.
I instinctively leaned back, wanting to maintain a safe distance from him. But he stepped closer, looking at me with a half-smile: “Didn’t you say you wanted to take a picture?”
“If we go home, we won’t need to kiss,” I stammered.
“Didn’t you say we would take photos at home?” Zhao Hanyu leaned down, his warm breath brushing against my ear.
“No more photos, no more photos,” I nervously clutched his collar, my breath starting to falter.
He paused for a moment and softly said, “Then we won’t take any.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his lips gently pressed against mine. I instinctively clutched the sheets beneath me as my rationality began to crumble little by little.
Zhao Hanyu’s breathing became somewhat hurried; his fingertips were scorching as they lingered at my waist.
“No more photos, okay?” His voice was slightly hoarse as he whispered in my ear.
I was jolted awake the next afternoon by a message from Jiang Qing. She sent several sixty-second voice messages asking why I hadn’t rekindled the fire.
Suddenly remembering our agreement from last night, I quickly replied: [Something unexpected happened last night; we left early. I’ll catch up now.]
"What surprise?" Jiang Qing sent a lewd emoji. "Is it President Zhao who is not doing well?"
"No!" I typed excitedly. "I made a mistake in my adventure yesterday!"
"Huh?" I shared my experience from last night with Jiang Qing. She was very excited and kept asking me for updates, so I recounted Zhao Hanyu's reflection on the situation.
Jiang Qing: "Oh, no need to mention the rest; I can fill in the blanks."
Me: "..."
I sent an eye-roll emoji and exited our chat. After leaving, I noticed that Zhao Hanyu had messaged me.
"I reflected on last night, and it really is my fault for always turning off the lights. I'll pay more attention in the future so you can remember my face."
"I'm going back to the old house tonight. Since you're still sleeping, I'll head back first."
"I've arranged for a driver downstairs; just get ready and come down."
I glanced at the time and quickly got out of bed. After doing my makeup and changing clothes, I hurried downstairs to get in the car, ready to attend the banquet.
Zhao Hanyu's grandfather was celebrating his eightieth birthday with a ball at the old house. As I walked into the hall, I scanned the crowd for Zhao Hanyu's figure.
Soon, I locked onto my target. Recognizing him immediately by his outfit's color and style, I quickly walked up to him, linked my arm with his, and sweetly called out, "Hubby~"
Zhao Hanyu looked down at me, a smile tugging at his lips. "Mm."
People around us laughed and teased, "You two are really sweet together."
"Five years of marriage and your relationship is still so good; it's truly enviable."
Zhao Hanyu's smile grew wider as he slightly tilted his head. "Yeah, our relationship is indeed very good."
His eyes sparkled with joy, making him seem as if he were bathed in light, making it hard for anyone to look away.
Fearing that staring too long would give me away, I quickly found an excuse to step aside. Looking at the time, I realized only ten minutes had passed; knowing I had to stay there for three more hours made me feel uneasy all over.
I took out my phone and scrolled through videos for a while, reluctantly showing up only when the dance was about to start.
I stood at the entrance, looking from a distance at the spot where Zhao Hanyu had been standing earlier. There was a group of men all dressed in similar outfits. I looked closely but didn’t see Zhao Hanyu.
Could he have gone to the restroom?
As I pondered this, someone in the distance seemed to sense my gaze and waved at me. I focused and realized it was him!
I let out a sigh of relief; thankfully, I hadn’t mistaken him this time. I smiled and was about to walk over when suddenly two large hands landed on my waist.
“Did you mistake someone again?”
Zhao Hanyu’s deep voice rang in my ear, startling me into a stiff posture.
“Hu… Husband…”
I cautiously turned around and met Zhao Hanyu’s deep gaze.
“Hmm.” He replied, “How did you mistake someone again?”
I awkwardly explained, “His outfit’s color and style are very similar to yours, and he just greeted me…”
“He greeted you yesterday too.” Zhao Hanyu said lightly.
I froze for a few seconds before realizing what Zhao Hanyu meant.
“He is… the person I wanted to kiss last night?”
I asked him weakly.
Zhao Hanyu nodded, “Yes.”
I felt completely deflated, lowering my head and unable to look at him.
“Yijia, this is your third mistake.”
He ruffled my hair with a tone that carried a warning, “If you mistake someone again, don’t expect to get out of bed this week.”
“I absolutely won’t!”
I immediately looked up and assured him.
