Hear My Heart: My World Falls into the River of Love

Chapter 28 - So, she didn't have feet in two boats?

At 11:00PM, Starlight Plaza was still brightly lit. The crowd celebrating Christmas in the plaza were still explosively cheering, repeatedly causing the security guards on duty and the local law enforcement to raise eyebrows.

Walking beside him, Jian Yan put her coat on and asked He Xiu, "What did Director He want to talk with me about?"

He Xiu smiled upon hearing her words. Handing over the paper bag he had been carrying the entire time, he said, "Merry Christmas."

Jian Yan hesitantly took the offered paper bag and looked inside. "This is the dessert store's red velvet cake!"

"Mn, last time, didn't you say you wanted to eat Yu Zhi's cake?"

"Yes!" Jian Yan carefully held the cake, her eyes shining. "Very beautiful. This is the limited edition Christmas red velvet from the UK store. I heard that it's very difficult to get!"

He Xiu said, "I had their pastry chef help save me one. I just went to go get it."

"Thank you, Director He." Jian Yan was extremely excited, but she didn't forget to ask him the price. "This cake wasn't cheap, right? I'll pay you back."

He Xiu couldn't help but chuckle. "This is my Christmas gift to you. Why must you repay?"

Jian Yan was immediately embarrassed. "But, I didn't prepare a Christmas gift for you..."

"No need." He Xiu softly smiled and said, "Today, you all have worked hard on my behalf. How can I be so shameless and accept a gift from you?"

Jian Yan blinked rapidly. "So, all the employees received this?" Then Director He truly did spend money.

He Xiu looked at her and said, "This is specifically gifted to you. Their pay got increased."

Jian Yan: "..."

She originally wanted to smile, but with He Xiu's gaze on her, her heart once again began to incessantly throb. Pu-tong. Pu-tong. It was as if Father Christmas' little deers had dashed into her heart.

Suddenly, something ice-cold fell onto her cheek. She raised her head to look and realized that it was actually snowing.

"It's snowing." Jian Yan extended her left hand. A sparkling, translucent snowflake floated onto her palm. The snowy Christmas night seemed magical, momentarily causing the young people in the plaza to burst with enthusiasm. Joyous shouts rose and fell in succession as lovers came together and kissed as though there were nobody else present, wildly showering dog food.

Afterwards, they were separated by the security guards on duty who braved the wind and snow.

Under the work of the civil police, the plaza was not considered too disorderly. Jian Yan turned her head back and just happened to meet He Xiu's gaze. His figure had become slightly fuzzy because of the delicate snow, but the look in his eyes seemed to have become affectionate.

Jian Yan was indescribably nervous. According to the several years she had spent drawing shoujo manhua, this setting and mood was simply the first choice to confessing.

The two of them stared at each other like this for a while. He Xiu's thin lips slightly opened as he finally began to speak. "I..."

Jian Yan's ringtone suddenly began playing, interrupting his next words. She quickly took out her cell phone from her bag and awkwardly smiled at He Xiu. "E-excuse me."

At first, she wanted to hang up right away, but she saw that it was Lin Zhen who called. Afraid that something had gone wrong, she said, "I need to take this call, please wait a moment."
