35: Agreement
Lovers who truly love each other can feel happiness and joy no matter what the circumstances.
Just like Han Wen and Zhou Ning, on New Year's Eve, the two of them stayed in their small rented room, eating simple meals. Instead of feeling sad or upset, they felt exceptionally content and sweet.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the two of them went for a walk. They listened to the sound of firecrackers and watched the brilliance of fireworks.
The two walked hand in hand, looking around, and before they knew it, time had passed.
The two of them didn't return to their rented apartment until the early hours of the morning, after spending New Year's Eve together. Then, they boiled water, washed their feet, and rested.
The tiny rented room only had one bed, and it was only 1.2 meters wide. Although there were sheets and a blanket, it was still difficult for two people to sleep in it.
However, neither Han Wen nor Zhou Ning brought up the issue.
The two seemed to be on the same wavelength, both feeling that something happy and wonderful should happen on this special night to make it even more perfect.
After washing his feet, Han Wen turned off the lights in the room. Then, he took Zhou Ning's arm and they got into bed, snuggling under the covers and embracing each other.
"Han Wen, don't get so close to me," Zhou Ning said softly. "It's so late, I want to sleep."
"Okay," Han Wen replied, but hugged the other person even tighter.
"Let go of me." Zhou Ning turned her head away, dodging slightly.
"Understood," Han Wen replied.
"Your hands are so cold, don't touch me like that," Zhou Ning warned.
"Okay," Han Wen replied.
"Oh my, why are you taking my clothes off?" Zhou Ning exclaimed in surprise.
"I didn't," Han Wen denied.
"You're so naughty." Zhou Ning said shyly, "You're so young, why are you so naughty?"
"Women love bad boys," Han Wen said with a smile. "Sister Ning, do you like it?"
"I don't like it." Zhou Ning shook his head.
"Don't worry, Sister Ning. Tonight, I'm going to make you the happiest and most joyful woman in the world," Han Wen replied confidently.
Zhou Ning wanted to say something, but Han Wen stopped her from speaking.
Then, she closed her eyes and quietly waited for happiness to arrive.
Han Wen went to bed very late last night and tossed and turned several times in the middle of the night. So, he was inevitably a little tired.
When he woke up, it was already bright outside. But his lover in his arms had vanished.
Han Wen wasn't too worried. He thought Zhou Ning was just too shy to accept it and had hidden away.
He got up, dressed, put on his shoes, and was about to go out to check the situation when he suddenly noticed a letter on the table.
Han Wen paused for a moment, sensing that something was amiss. He abandoned his plan to go out and look for Zhou Ning, and instead picked up the letter.
The envelope wasn't sealed. He pinched the letter inside with his fingers, pulled it out, and unfolded it to read.
"Hanwen, I'm leaving."
However, instead of returning to Beijing, I flew directly abroad.
When you wake up, I should already be on a plane, above the clouds.
So, you don't need to look for me, and you won't find me anyway.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you or kept it from you. But I had no choice but to do it.
I have to go abroad, otherwise my parents won't be able to explain to our relatives why I borrowed money.
So, I promised my mom I'd go abroad for a while to get through this transition period.
Once you've made some money and paid off these IOUs, I can probably come back.
If you can't make money, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in China for a while longer.
So, Hanwen, you absolutely have to make money! I believe in you; you're so capable, you can definitely do it.
My mother also promised me that as long as I follow her arrangements, she will give me another six months.
Hanwen, you said you'd make a lot of money within six months. I believe you. So, I agreed to my mother's terms.
I sent the IOU you wrote to my mother before I went to the airport. She might use it to cause trouble for you later.
However, I hope you can be lenient with me for my sake. After all, she is my mother.
She may not be a good mother, or she may never have known how to truly love her child.
However, the blood ties between us are undeniable. So, you have to understand.
Half a year, that's a long time. I'm afraid I won't be able to stick with it, what should I do?
However, you said that every separation is for the sake of the most beautiful reunion in the future. So, I'm willing to persevere.
Korean: This is the promise between you and me, please don't forget it.
Finally, I love you, love you, love you, love you, I really love you so much…
As Han Wen read, he tightened his fingers, gripping the letter tightly in his palm.
Then, she turned her face away, trying not to cry.
Just then, he unexpectedly saw a bright red petal on the bed sheet, so glaring that his heart suddenly ached as if it were about to convulse.
"Sister Ning, believe me, I will definitely bring you back in less than six months." Han Wen gritted his teeth and vowed in a low voice.
Zhou Ning went abroad, the counter was sublet, and the shop was taken back. Gu Amei, Lu Xiangdong, and Chu Niannan all disappeared without a trace.
Han Wen's original plan to take some time to return to Jinghua City was immediately shattered, because even if he went back, it would be useless.
Moreover, if Zhou Ning's mother caught him, he would definitely be in big trouble. Having no other choice, he had to remain in Songhu City.
Because of the Spring Festival holiday, Han Wen didn't go anywhere for the next few days.
He was like a wounded wild beast, hiding in that small room, licking his wounds in solitude.
As soon as the holiday ended, he went to the Story Club magazine office and, after negotiating with Wu Lun for a while, he finally received his royalties ahead of schedule.
It costs 20 yuan per thousand words, and with more than 60,000 words, it costs more than 1,000 yuan in total.
After treating Wu Lun to a simple meal, Han Wen left without a word. Then, clutching the money, he plunged headlong into the stock market.
A mere thousand yuan is certainly not enough to make a splash in the stock market. Moreover, before the stock subscription certificate was issued through a lottery system, it would be difficult for him to buy stocks.
However, Han Wen would go to the stock exchange every day without fail. He was like a lone wolf, silent and not interacting with anyone.
He devoted all his time and energy to studying stocks, and with his memories from his previous life, he seemed to have X-ray vision and prophetic abilities.
Originally, he only planned to speculate on stock warrants, make his target profit, and then leave the market. However, he has now changed his mind and is prepared to take a risk.
Because he wanted to earn the money as soon as possible, pay off his debts as soon as possible, and get Zhou Ning back as soon as possible.
