Lin Menghan thought to herself that she might not be wrong in feeling this way; after all, which good girl would call someone else like that upon their first meeting? Yet, she wanted to call Xu Nancheng like that, as if doing so would bring her some inner satisfaction. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, an idea sprouted in her mind. She dragged over a chair and gently sat beside Xu Nancheng, resting one hand on her head while casually placing the other on the table. It was as if she were saying, "Nancheng! You can't escape my grasp."
"Hey, Nancheng, look! You saved me, so shouldn't I be grateful to you?" Lin Menghan's words were like a gentle spring breeze, soft and delicate. She cleverly used the fact that Xu Nancheng had saved her; after all, it was only natural to feel gratitude and admiration for someone who had helped you.
Xu Nancheng thought this made sense but felt it was a bit much. "Well... that's true, but..." Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Menghan interrupted him. "And also! Didn't Uncle say... you're my brother? So calling you brother... isn't a big deal, right?"
Xu Nancheng was left speechless. Her words came out like a rapid-fire barrage, leaving him no chance to refute. For a moment, he found himself at a loss for words. His clever mind seemed adept at solving math problems but struggled with this emotional game. After being "brainwashed" by Lin Menghan's continuous stream of logic, he suddenly felt that her reasoning made sense; perhaps there was nothing inappropriate about her calling him that.
"Is that okay, Nancheng?" Lin Menghan's voice carried a hint of coaxing. She knew that someone like Xu Nancheng often struggled to counter such an aggressive approach. Sure enough, under her relentless persuasion, Xu Nancheng faltered and hesitantly agreed to her request.
"Then... then you can just call me that!" Xu Nancheng's voice trembled slightly; he felt as if he had lost an invisible battle. However, he also thought that conceding to a girl was generally acceptable, especially since Lin Menghan was someone he would soon be living with.
"Then... Nancheng, since I'm calling you that now! How should I address you?" A mischievous smile crept onto Lin Menghan's face, but Xu Nancheng didn't notice; he was lost in his own thoughts with his head down.
"Of course I'll call you... Lin Menghan!" Xu Nancheng paused before speaking; he completely misunderstood Lin Menghan's intentions and answered in the most straightforward way possible.
"What else could I call you?" Xu Nancheng looked bewildered, utterly clueless about what Lin Menghan wanted.
Instead of answering directly, Lin Menghan gently tugged at Xu Nancheng's sleeve and said, "Nancheng! Can you look at me when you talk? It feels like I'm talking to myself here." Her tone carried a hint of grievance as if Xu Nancheng's actions had hurt her.
"And it's quite rude of you!" Lin Menghan continued, her words filled with reproach yet tinged with playful teasing as if saying, "How could you treat me like this?"
Xu Nancheng blushed and swallowed hard before slowly raising his head to meet Lin Menghan's gaze. He felt an unfamiliar tension and embarrassment wash over him but also realized that she had a point. He probably shouldn't treat a girl this way—especially someone as gentle and lovely as Lin Menghan.
"How about... Nancheng, you just call me Lin Menghan?" Lin Menghan's voice was soft and sweet.
Xu Nancheng was completely taken aback! His worldview felt utterly overturned at that moment. Not only did she want to call him Nancheng, but she also expected him to call her Lin Menghan? This was insane! He had never imagined a girl could be so proactive and bold. Even more surprising was how easily she seemed to lead him around by the nose.
"Nancheng! Please!" Lin Menghan's voice rang out again, this time filled with more expectation and desire along with a hint of coaxing charm. After much "brainwashing," the issue of how they would address each other was finally resolved. Lin Menghan called him Nancheng while Xu Nancheng reluctantly accepted calling her Lin Menghan.
Xu Nancheng felt a mix of helplessness and introspection. He couldn't understand why he found it so difficult to deal with someone like her or why he couldn't refuse her. It wasn't that he couldn't refuse; rather, his personality made it hard for him to do so without feeling embarrassed.
Lin Menghan's smile grew even brighter: I finally convinced Nancheng! He's so easy to sway. Just then, as she basked in her self-satisfaction...
"I need your love every day; my thoughts are yours to guess; I love you..." Xu Nancheng's phone rang out with a cheerful tune.
Before Xu Nancheng could answer it, he heard a series of giggles from beside him—it was Lin Menghan trying to stifle her laughter.
Ignoring the girl's amusement, Xu Nancheng hurriedly answered the phone so the ringing would stop. On the other end came the rugged voice of Xu Wenzhao: "Nancheng, I'm transferring some money to your phone for buying daily necessities for Lin Menghan! I got so caught up bringing her home that I forgot to buy anything."
"Okay! Sure!" With that, Xu Nancheng hung up the phone.
"Hahaha—" He turned to see Lin Menghan covering her mouth in laughter.
Xu Wenzhao looked puzzled: "Hey! What are you laughing about?"
"It's nothing; just your ringtone... Hahaha!" As she spoke, Lin Menghan laughed even harder, almost rolling on the floor with amusement.
