Was Big Brother He trying to massage her legs?
Shen Mianmian felt embarrassed and blurted out without thinking, "Big Brother He, so you were going to massage my legs!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she almost bit her own tongue in regret.
He Nan paused in his leg-massaging movement, looked up at her, and asked, "What did you think I was going to do?"
Her face turned red again, her guilt causing her mind to scatter.
He Nan seemed to see through her thoughts, a hint of amusement in his eyes as he ruffled her hair, "You’re still young, think less of those muddled things and focus on studying."
Could it be that Big Brother He had misunderstood her thoughts?
She really didn’t mean it that way, honest to goodness.
Shen Mianmian couldn’t bear to stay any longer. She sprang up and said, "Big Brother He, I didn’t sleep well last night and feel kind of sleepy now. I will go back to sleep first."
Without waiting for He Nan to speak, she scampered back to her room.
Her legs, as if they had motors installed, moved particularly quick.
Watching her disappearing figure, He Nan’s eyes were filled with mirth.
Back in her room, Shen Mianmian took a hot shower to calm herself down.
Lying on the bed, her heart could not settle down for a long time, filled with the memory of Big Brother He’s embrace and his words. Big Brother He was usually so serious and seldom smiled, she didn’t expect him to be such a flirt.
The more she thought about it, the more she found herself smiling foolishly.
Maybe due to the excitement, Shen Mianmian suffered from insomnia again and only fell asleep close to dawn, not waking up until eight in the morning.
Xiaocui, seeing that she hadn’t gotten up in the morning, didn’t call her. She quietly cleaned up and went to work.
Shen Mianmian woke up a bit late and, afraid of being late, quickly got ready and left. Just as she opened the door, He Nan’s room door also opened from inside.
"Did sleeping make you stutter?" He Nan’s eyes twinkled with a hint of teasing, "Come over for breakfast, I’ll drive you afterwards."
Shen Mianmian nodded obediently, the sudden change in their relationship leaving her a bit unsettled.
During breakfast, Shen Mianmian kept her head down and didn’t dare to look at him. He Nan also didn’t say much, quietly accompanying her.
Just as she was on her last spoonful of porridge, he suddenly remarked, "You’re this nervous just eating together, what will you do in the future?"
What will she do in the future?
Did he mean ’the future’ she was thinking of?
Shen Mianmian’s face turned as red as a shrimp placed in boiling water, flushing visibly.
Meeting his gaze, filled with silent laughter, Shen Mianmian finally understood: Big Brother He was deliberately teasing her. He must have guessed she wouldn’t sleep well last night, and would wake up late today, so he timed his breakfast invitation perfectly.
For her, a mature woman, to be flushed red by a man in his twenties was utterly embarrassing.
She was the mature woman; she should be thicker-skinned, the experienced one.
Shen Mianmian kept hypnotizing herself silently, and it seemed to work slightly: she slowly relaxed, her complexion returning to normal.
After breakfast, He Nan drove her to Li Julin’s place. When they reached the entrance of the complex, Shen Mianmian suddenly remembered something important.
"Big Brother He, let’s not tell Uncle Li about us dating, alright? Just yesterday, he reminded me to study well and avoid puppy love. If he’s to hear about me dating today, and especially that it’s you, the consequences will be serious." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
