"Nancheng, I know you don't want me to get tired, but it's really not a big deal. Just let me go, okay?" Lin Menghan said, wrapping her arms around Xu Nancheng's and gently shaking him while playfully pleading.
Xu Nancheng couldn't resist her charm and immediately relented. "Alright, but if you get tired, just let me know!"
Lin Menghan felt a surge of joy in her heart, thinking how easy that was. She had lectured him on the way back, but a little bit of charm had done the trick. Still, she leaned in closer and softly said, "Nancheng, could you lift your head a bit?"
As Xu Nancheng raised his head, Lin Menghan quickly pecked him on the lips. Xu Nancheng touched his face in surprise, staring at Lin Menghan who was beaming with delight. "What a reward!" she smiled.
Xu Nancheng gazed at her dreamily and voiced his thoughts. "I really can’t handle you, Menghan."
Lin Menghan blushed and glanced toward the bedroom. There was still no movement, so she leaned in again, pouting as she pecked him on each cheek.
Just then, there was some noise from the bedroom as Xu Wenzhao and Lin Zhen walked out one after the other.
Lin Menghan's face instantly turned crimson; her heart raced. Thank goodness they were a bit late—she couldn’t imagine how embarrassing it would have been! She felt her cheeks burning and wished she could sink into the floor.
Xu Wenzhao seemed still half-asleep as he rubbed his eyes and looked at Lin Menghan. "Lin Menghan, are you really going?"
Blushing even more, she nodded shyly and replied softly, "Yes, Auntie and Nancheng both agreed."
Hearing this, Xu Wenzhao didn’t say much more but advised her, "Well, if they agreed, then it’s fine. Just be careful about safety and don’t let your studies slip." He sat down and began to lecture her.
Lin Menghan nodded obediently with a smile. "Okay, okay! Uncle, I understand! I won’t make you worry." She knew he cared for her; that’s why he was being so talkative.
At that moment, Lin Zhen approached Xu Wenzhao and said, "Alright then, Old Xu, about the cake over there—help yourself." She pointed to a beautiful platter of cake on the table.
Xu Wenzhao looked in the direction she pointed with surprise. "Oh wow! There’s cake? Did Lin Menghan buy it?"
Lin Menghan shook her head and explained with a hint of sweetness in her voice, "Nope! It was Nancheng."
"Huh? Nancheng? When did you start buying things like this?" Xu Wenzhao asked in astonishment and delight.
Xu Nancheng just smiled quietly without saying much.
After Xu Mu finished speaking, he yawned widely and headed back to the bedroom with a loud thud. The living room fell silent once more.
"Nancheng," Lin Menghan said as she leaned closer to him with her little face. "Could you teach me physics?"
At that moment, Xu Nancheng looked at Lin Menghan with his heart racing; she was just too adorable! It was almost unfair!
He listened to Lin Menghan and knew it wasn't the right time for intimacy. Swallowing hard, he thought, "Lin Menghan, I will definitely teach you. Can we talk about anything else?"
Xu Nancheng was completely hers, let alone teaching her a few problems.
"Nancheng, you're so great!" Lin Menghan exclaimed happily. Then she glanced at the time. "Alright, I need to wash up and get to bed. It's already late, and if I don't sleep now, I'll be dozing off in class tomorrow. The teacher will pull my ear."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Lin Menghan."
"What? Can you have a little independent thought?" Lin Menghan realized he was about to say something cheesy again. She quickly tried to change the subject with a serious tone, not wanting to turn red from his words.
After washing up, just as she was about to enter her bedroom, Xu Nancheng called out, "Good night!"
In that brief moment when she turned back, Xu Nancheng was speaking again, looking all shy.
Lin Menghan didn't know how to respond to him. Thinking back on the day, they had kissed countless times already. On the way home that evening, he had even buried his head deep in her neck. Just recalling it made her feel bashful.
"Nancheng, you really took advantage of me today," Lin Menghan said, lightly touching her fingers together in front of her chest with a pitiful expression that made one’s heart ache with affection.
Seeing such a cute Lin Menghan filled Xu Nancheng with guilt; he felt his behavior had been too much today. He bent slightly and sincerely looked into her eyes. "Lin Menghan, I'm sorry! I'll try my best to control myself from now on, okay?"
"Mm." Lin Menghan replied softly.
"Then good night, Lin Menghan." Xu Nancheng gently ruffled her hair before turning back to his own room.
Lin Menghan also returned to her room. It wasn't that she didn't like kissing Xu Nancheng; she just felt that if this continued, he would only think about that every day. She wondered what he would do once she turned eighteen; she couldn't imagine how much more outrageous things could get.
