After training ended the next afternoon, Sun Hao told Fernandez that he was going to the hotel.
By the time Fernandez learned that Sun Hao was going out with the girl from yesterday and had even bought the tickets already, he could no longer hide the smile on his face.
"You've got talent. You just lack courage."
Fernandez smiled as he summed up Sun Hao's previous history of flirting with girls, then gave him a thumbs-up.
"We're just ordinary friends."
Sun Hao replied, but the moment he mentioned friends, he remembered being kissed last night, and his face flushed slightly.
Fernandez could not help bursting into laughter when he saw that.
"You're in love, Sun."
He continued after laughing.
Sun Hao rolled his eyes at him. Seeing that it was about time, he did not say much more and headed straight to the hotel.
"Good luck!"
Fernandez's encouraging voice still came from behind him.
Sun Hao smiled and shook his head.
Still, Fernandez did have a point.
In his previous life in America, he had never tried dating girls because he felt there were cultural differences.
When he arrived at the hotel, he asked the front desk to call up, but Jocelyn was not in her room.
Sun Hao felt a little disappointed.
They had agreed to meet at this time yesterday.
He shook his head, feeling that something really was off with him.
He sat down on a sofa in the lobby to wait.
But after sitting for only a short while, he could not help getting up, and after getting up, he sat back down again.
About half an hour later, Jocelyn finally entered through the hotel entrance.
"Sun, you're here."
Jocelyn smiled when she saw Sun Hao.
"Where did you go?"
There was a hint of reproach in Sun Hao's voice.
"I went to buy some coffee. The coffee at the hotel tastes terrible."
Jocelyn looked a little embarrassed.
Only then did Sun Hao notice the box of coffee in her hands.
In that instant, all of his disappointment vanished.
"Here, these are the tickets. I bought them this morning, so we can go straight in this afternoon."
Sun Hao continued.
"Sun, you're so thoughtful."
There was something unusual in Jocelyn's gaze as she looked at him.
She had not realized yesterday that Sun Hao was such a caring guy.
"But I need to put on some makeup. Wait for me a moment."
Jocelyn continued.
Sun Hao nodded and prepared to sit down.
Though he still had to wait, his feelings were now completely different from before.
"Let's go."
Jocelyn suddenly spoke again.
Sun Hao looked at her in confusion.
"Wait in my room. It's too noisy here with people constantly coming and going."
Jocelyn continued.
Her room?
This... wouldn't be appropriate, would it?
Sun Hao felt a little embarrassed, but he still stood up.
They took the elevator up to her room.
After entering, Sun Hao saw that the room was very tidy and that there was a large makeup bag on the table.
Those details showed that Jocelyn was a girl who liked cleanliness and was rather mature for her age.
After entering the room, Jocelyn had Sun Hao sit down first, then went to make coffee.
"The coffee here all tastes terrible. I figured you probably wouldn't be used to it either. The front desk said there was Americano coffee two blocks away, but I still got lost."
When Jocelyn brought the coffee over to Sun Hao, she smiled as she spoke, then stuck out her tongue.
When they chatted yesterday, they had naturally talked about how he was from China, yet had such a strong American accent.
Sun Hao had explained that he had lived in America for quite a long time before.
He had not expected Jocelyn to remember, or to go out of her way to buy him Americano coffee.
It seemed that they not only shared the same interests, but also had great chemistry.
He was stunned for quite a while.
"If you don't take it soon, I won't be able to hold it anymore."
Jocelyn said with a smile.
Sun Hao came back to his senses and accepted the coffee, feeling a little embarrassed.
After handing the coffee to Sun Hao, Jocelyn went over to the table and started putting on makeup.
Sun Hao drank his coffee as he waited, watching Jocelyn apply her makeup.
After watching for a while, he felt it was inappropriate and got up to look out the window instead.
Yet for some reason, he could not stop himself from turning around to look at Jocelyn again.
For a moment, he felt restless and unable to settle down.
He suddenly remembered what Fernandez had told him before.
Was this what being in love felt like?
He had been single his entire previous life. He had truly never experienced any of this.
And as he looked at the still-warm coffee in his hands, he suddenly felt that he was not flirting with a girl at all. It seemed more like he was being flirted with?
He turned to look at Jocelyn again, and this time, he stared blankly at her for a long time.
At some point, Jocelyn had already finished putting on her makeup.
Though she was still young, perhaps because of her profession, she was truly skilled at applying makeup.
She had already been naturally beautiful, but after putting on makeup, she was stunning beyond words.
Sun Hao felt that if she were a little older, she would definitely be a real knockout.
The description was fitting, because although Jocelyn looked young, aside from her face, she was also very well-developed in every other respect.
Most importantly, after putting on makeup, Sun Hao felt that Jocelyn seemed increasingly familiar.
With just the slightest hint, he might have remembered whom she resembled from his previous life.
But no matter how hard he thought, he could not connect the person before him with anyone named Jocelyn.
Maybe he really was in love.
When he had chatted with Fernandez after training that morning, Fernandez had said that only when you liked someone would they feel familiar.
And the more you liked them, the stronger that feeling became.
Sun Hao felt that this guy had the experience of a forty-two-year-old at the age of twelve, but it did seem like a reasonable explanation.
Jocelyn suddenly smiled, and in that instant, Sun Hao understood why the ancients had coined the phrase "a smile like a blooming flower."
Her laughter also pulled him back to reality.
"I'm ready. What about you?"
Jocelyn asked with a smile.
"Yeah, let's go."
Sun Hao tried hard to move his gaze away from Jocelyn's face, then placed the coffee on the table.
Happy Valentine's Day~
