Chapter 4 — Predetermined Fate

I blinked, not daring to believe what I just heard. Lying snuggled in Tan Hang's arms for a long time, I reached out and poked his chest with my fingers, then propped myself up and sat up.

"Since when did you like me? Why didn't I find out?"

Tan Hang looked at me, a bit helpless. He gently stroked my cheek, then leaned down, placed a soft kiss on the corner of my lips, then gradually deepened.

“Have you discovered it now?”

I grabbed his sleeve, my breathing was a bit chaotic, my whole body started to heat up. Tan Hang's finger gently brushed my lips.

"I never intentionally hid my feelings. You just didn't realize it."

Huh? I vaguely raised my head.

“But before now, haven't you always disliked me and always confronted me?”

I held up my fingers and counted each story one by one.

“Reporting me for skipping class, telling my teacher I didn't do my homework, tearing up my love letters, destroying all my good relationships, which one was not your doing?”

Tan Hang held my hand, pulled me firmly into his arms, gently pinching the back of my neck.

"That's just what I think. Truancy is inherently wrong, so shouldn't I be reported?"

"About those love letters, I admit that I have my own thoughts. I don't want you to pay attention to anyone else. If you fall in love, it can only be with me."

“I never intended to confront you, I just wanted to work with you—”

Tan Hang leaned close to my ear, his breath tickled my skin, his hoarse voice uttered the last word. Blood immediately rushed to the brain, the whole body felt hot as if it was about to burn. This guy is too, too, too... But honestly, I really want it too. Last time it wasn't finished yet. Now that I understand each other's feelings, I don't even bother to restrain myself anymore. Face red, I got out of his lap, turned around and sat facing him on his lap, clumsily leaning down to kiss him. His warm palm pressed against my back, both of our body temperatures increased more and more, the kiss became deeper and deeper, and both of our breathing became more and more disordered. Just when I was impatient to take a step forward, Tan Hang suddenly let go of me and gently pinched my ear.

“Don't bring anything today, next time.”

Huh??? We have come to this step already! I mumbled softly, my voice a bit annoyed.

“But I want…”

“What do you want?”

I gritted my teeth and jumped up to bite his neck.

“I want you!”

The hand on my waist tightened. Tan Hang's eyes suddenly became deeper. Before I could continue biting, he hugged me across my body and threw me back onto the bed. With the sound of the curtains closing, the light in the room dimmed, and the atmosphere suddenly became hot and hazy. The two heartbeats gradually synchronized, tightly attached to each other, not wanting to separate.

Paralysis. The hotel had to extend the stay for another day. After helping me clean up, Tan Hang hugged me and gently massaged my aching waist. My voice was hoarse, filled with anger and resentment: "You are truly shameless, who took this long?" Tan Hang kissed the top of my head, his voice low and pampering: "Yes, it's my fault. Next time if you don't hug me and tell me to be stronger, I'll be a little faster." Shut up! When I was doing it, no matter what I said, I felt excited, but now that I say it again, I want to die of embarrassment. I buried my head in his chest, not saying another word. After that day, Tan Hang and I were together public declaration of love. We ate together, went for walks together, he helped me write my thesis, I sat and watched him type code. Occasionally, the two of them would sneak out to the deserted lakeside to kiss. Lam Thanh Thanh was deeply resentful of the fact that I no longer had meals with her. But when I confessed that Tan Hang and I were dating, she widened her eyes, gasped, and stammered the whole time without being able to say a complete sentence. I don't know what shocked her more than "not only is my roommate in love, but he's also in love with his sworn enemy", or even "a few days ago I cursed that guy". In short, for three days in a row, she kept looking at me and sighing deeply, even the chicken thigh in her hand lost all its delicious taste.

One week later it's my birthday, and the two of us won't stay at school. After a while of embracing each other, Tan Hang hugged me with one hand, with the other he took out a gift box from his pocket and kissed my temple.

“Birthday gift for you, happy birthday.”

I received the box, looked at the size and eye-catching ribbon, and felt a bit familiar. When I opened it, inside was a handmade music box that I had wanted for a long time, worth collecting. But this is a limited edition, someone bought it a long time ago. I searched and searched but no one was willing to give it back. I was stunned.

“Where did you get it? Wasn't it sold out a long time ago?”

Tan Hang's fingers lightly brushed the skin behind my ear, his voice calm: "Yes, but the person who bought it is Giang Hieu's sister. I asked her to help me see if I could transfer it. Luckily, the item is still new, it didn't take too much effort." I opened my eyes wide: "So... in other words, that night when I went out drinking, Giang Hieu came to give you this?"

“Yes.”

Tan Hang kissed my nose, his tone was a bit teasing.

"Then someone misunderstood that I was dating someone else. Without asking any questions, he ran off to drink to relieve his sadness, and then made a scene. Luckily, the one who picked you up that day was me, otherwise I would have really locked you up."

I rubbed my nose. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have drank to the point of going crazy like that. The sweetness crept into every cell in my body. I carefully put away the gift, then hugged him tightly and kissed him hard.

“Tan Hang, I love you to death!”

This world is not too difficult to understand, a month ago they were enemies, now turning into lovers is also completely possible! Tan Hang's smile became deeper and deeper, he pressed me down and kissed me for a while longer. When I finished, I took a photo of the two of us holding hands, posted it to my friends circle, and then rolled into his arms. I poked his chin and smiled evilly:

“Hey, if I said I could see the future, would you believe it?”

Tan Hang hugged him tighter:

“Hmm… so tell me, what will our future be like?”

I bent my legs and put them on his lap, my voice full of laughter.

“Two years after graduating, he founded a technology company, developed very well, and at a young age became the general director.”

“We will buy a house in city A, then go to country B to register our marriage. There will be no wedding, but we will still have a party and invite all our relatives and friends, receiving everyone's blessings.”

“The parents on both sides... I don't know how they accept it, but they looked very happy. Your mother and my mother often travel together and always send us pictures."

"You still have so much energy. It's clear that working during the day is mentally draining enough, but at night you still have the energy to think of all kinds of tricks to make me try strange positions, especially like making you scratch my back."

“Do you believe it?”

Tan Hang pondered for a moment, seemingly imagining the scene I just said, then laughed out loud.

“I believe, believe everything.”

“If so, we will live very well.”

He took my finger, bit it gently, then gently bit my ear lobe, his voice was hoarse and teasing:

“I really like you scratching me.”

"But I like the look of you with red eyes, about to cry, and still clinging to me and refusing to let go..."

“Stop! Stop! Say no more!”

I was so embarrassed that I was about to evaporate. Looking at Tan Hang's sleazy smile, I really couldn't stand it, so I immediately bowed my head to block his mouth. Satisfaction and happiness fill every little corner. I'm very happy, because he loves me, and I love him too.

Afternotes. Only later did I know that the photo I posted on my friends circle created a huge stir in the school. The fact that the school's male god officially officially dated his archenemy greatly stimulated the nerves of the female students. It is said that when the girls in Giang Hieu's dorm hugged their heads and screamed like they were about to faint, Giang Hieu remained calm, applying a mask and painting her nails.

“What are you doing so excited? I know a long time ago. They even came together thanks to my efforts.”

Afterwards, Giang Hieu was rounded up all night, and the whole story about me and Tan Hang was stripped to pieces. The next morning, she went to school with a pair of dark circles full of resentment.

External session. Everything continued according to the planned trajectory. Until one day, six years later, I went to bed exhausted. When I woke up, I discovered I was back in my college dorm. The previous memory immediately rushed back. I laughed in surprise. Lam Thanh Thanh was still snoring loudly as ever. I simply washed my face and combed my hair, feeling extremely refreshed and walked out of the room. Seeing the dormitory, convenience store, and lecture hall building from six years ago felt so strange. I wandered around and conveniently bought two breakfasts. After finishing my meal, I went under the men's dormitory to stop people. Not long after, Tan Hang and his roommates walked out. I gently strode in front of him, nodding slightly to the others.

“Sorry, I have something to tell him for a moment.”

Then I grabbed his wrist and pulled him away. Tan Hang did not resist and obediently let me lead him. Coming to a hidden corner where there was no one, I pressed him against the wall, didn't say anything, just smiled at him.

“… Didn't you say you were looking for me? Why don't you say it?

I held up the bag of dumplings and shook it in front of him.

“Yes, I came to bring you breakfast.”

Tan Hang glanced at me suspiciously, but still reached out to receive it.

“Thank you.”

I took two steps back, crossed my arms and watched him finish it all in three bites. Wow, Tan Hang from six years ago looks really young. Suddenly wanted to tease a little. As soon as he finished eating, I suddenly jumped again Come, slide your fingers from your throat to your lower abdomen, gently stroking through your shirt. The muscles under my arms immediately tightened. This reaction is so adorable.

“So… Di?”

I stuck close to him, wrapped my arms around his back, then took a deep breath into his neck.

“I…”

Tan Hang couldn't say a complete sentence, because I lightly licked his neck, the tip of my nose touched his thin skin, slid up his ear, and bit his earlobe. My voice was low, soft, and petulantly calling out:

“Husband~”

The skin in contact with each other immediately becomes hot. I nuzzled his neck for a while, then pulled away slightly, but still kept the distance just a little closer to touching my lips.

"Tan Hang, you've never kissed anyone before, right? Do you want to try it with me? It's very comfortable, I'm sure you'll like it."

Those beautiful eyes suddenly opened wide, their long eyelashes trembling slightly. I couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to gently touch the tip of his nose.

“Let me tell you another secret, actually I—”

"So Di! Hurry up! It's almost time for school! You're going to be late!!"

I looked straight at Tan Hang for a moment, suddenly realizing something. I grabbed the phone next to me, unlocked it, the silhouette kiss wallpaper was still on the screen, then checked my calendar.

“Mathematics”…

Okay. I backed away from him, patting my clothes.

"Class is about to start, I'll go first."

Just as I was about to walk away, a hand forcefully grabbed my wrist.

"I'm not done yet. What is it?"

Tan Hang's voice is a bit deeper than usual. I blinked and smiled:

“Let's go next time, there will definitely be a chance.”

There aren't really many subjects left in the final year. But after class, I was called by the graduation project instructor to edit my thesis. Six years ago, I soon forgot all my knowledge, correcting every word and every sentence felt like torture. After being busy all day, I dragged myself back to the dormitory at night, wanting to find Tan Hang, but it was too late, so I had to wander back to my room. After taking a shower, I climbed into this single bed for a long time. Opening the phone, I tried to play a game I had abandoned for many years. If you don't play for too long, your limbs will be stiff and you'll lose constantly. I was so upset that I threw my phone aside, didn't even bother exiting the game, and just fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, a familiar sound rang in my ears, a hot hand placed on my waist, gently kneading. I was stunned for a moment. Suddenly realized something. This situation... is exactly what I didn't finish last time! But now it continues! I laughed, proactively kissed Tan Hang on the lips, lifted my hands tied by the tie and wrapped them around his neck, my legs wrapped around his waist, boldly welcoming him. After an intense rolling session, the two were drenched in sweat, leaning on each other, enjoying the afterglow. I lifted his chin, kissed his eyelids lightly, and happily said:

"Tan Hang, do you remember, six years ago, before we fell in love, one morning you blocked me against the wall, touched and bit me, and asked me to try kissing you too?"

Tan Hang remembered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Of course I remember. At that time I thought you wanted to confess your love to me."

I laughed, hugged his neck and kissed him.

“Idiot, that's what I did yesterday!”

"I told you before, I can see the future. Actually, I have traveled through time. Yesterday I saw you, it was you six years ago."

“You have no idea, when I open my eyes, Seeing that I was sharing a blanket with you, I was so shocked that I thought I was kidnapped."

I excitedly told my time travel story, Tan Hang didn't find it unreasonable, he just listened quietly, the corners of his lips carrying a smile. When I finished telling the story, I suddenly realized something. Turns out, he and I fell in love... it was fate.
