Xu Nancheng turned his head, instantly captivated by the delicate and shy face that was so close before him. Before he could react, a faint, sweet fragrance wafted toward him, followed by a soft, warm sensation gently brushing against his cheek. It was tender and fleeting, yet enough to send his heart racing.
He froze for a moment, his face turning an unprecedented shade of red, as if it were a burning iron. What was Lin Menghan doing? Why did she suddenly kiss him? Her lips felt so soft...
But what was he supposed to do now? She had caught him off guard, and he certainly wasn’t going to respond in kind. He couldn’t just pretend nothing had happened, could he?
In the midst of his panic, Lin Menghan carefully took his hand, which had nowhere to go. Her gaze was sincere as she looked at Xu Nancheng. "Nancheng," she said softly, her smile now tinged with shyness. After a brief pause, she continued, "Can we be together?"
Her voice was like music to Xu Nancheng's ears, causing his heart to race even faster. He widened his eyes in disbelief, struggling to comprehend her words. Was this real? Had he misheard?
At that moment, Xu Nancheng's mind went blank. He swallowed hard; his heart was in disarray as he stammered out, "But didn’t you say I should pursue you?" He still couldn’t quite believe it—it felt like a dream where everything seemed unreal.
"You can pursue me!" Lin Menghan's soft voice chimed again, but it only deepened the sense of unreality.
Whether or not he pursued her was something for Xu Nancheng to hear; the final say belonged to Lin Menghan.
His heart raced wildly as he took a deep breath. "Lin Menghan... I like you." This would have to serve as his response; he agreed.
Although he had decided to wait until he transformed before confessing his feelings, since she had brought it up, there was no need to refuse—doing so would only hurt her feelings! This meant he needed to work even harder on becoming a better person!
As Xu Nancheng's breathing grew heavier and his heartbeat quickened, he asked hesitantly, "Lin Menghan, may I kiss you?"
She merely nodded slightly, her face already flushed like an apple as she softly replied, "Mm."
Then Xu Nancheng leaned closer to Lin Menghan’s small head; she instinctively closed her eyes. He pecked her cheek quickly before pulling away—just a brief touch. It was their first kiss, and it felt incredibly shy.
Afterward, Lin Menghan boldly rested her head on Xu Nancheng's shoulder and closed her eyes. "Nancheng," she murmured, "why do you like me?"
Feeling the pressure on his shoulder, Xu Nancheng wrapped his arm around her from behind and gently stroked her hair. He didn’t know why he liked her; it was simply that seeing her made his heart flutter. So he smiled shyly and said softly, "What reason do I need to like you? I just like you!" His voice was tender and resonated deeply within Lin Menghan.
After a long moment, she responded softly, "Mm, I feel the same."
And so they nestled together, chatting away. After about ten minutes, Xu Nancheng suddenly remembered something and spoke up. "Lin Menghan, how about we announce our relationship? We could post it on social media?"
He had seen many people share their happiness with their loved ones online; although he had never done it himself, it seemed romantic and sacred.
However, Lin Menghan lifted her head slightly and shook it playfully. "No way! It’s nice for us to just enjoy our quiet and simple time together; we don’t need everyone to know!"
"But I really want everyone to know about us!" Xu Nancheng’s tone revealed a hint of urgency and unease as if he feared someone might take away the girl he cherished.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Lin Menghan; rather, deep down, he felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety and unease. This feeling wasn't limited to Lin Menghan alone; it extended to all the important people in his life.
The perceptive Lin Menghan quickly saw through Xu Nancheng's thoughts. She gently reached out her delicate hand and softly stroked his hair, comforting him with a tender voice. "Nancheng, I understand what you mean. Don't worry; I will never do anything to hurt you! My heart will always belong to you, and that will never change!"
Hearing such a heartfelt declaration, Xu Nancheng couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation. Upon reflection, it seemed that Lin Menghan was right—why did being in love have to be a public affair?
As long as he could share his life with the one he loved, experiencing joy and sorrow together, weathering life's storms side by side, and growing together, wasn't that already beautiful enough?
With this thought, Xu Nancheng's mood gradually settled, and a smile of happiness began to form at the corners of his mouth. He and Lin Menghan had always been this way, and they would continue to be so in the future! He needed to trust Lin Menghan—forever and ever!
Lin Menghan felt the same way; she had no other intentions.
