"So you’ve thought it all through?" Xu Weiran looked at her for confirmation.
Sheng Ning’an nodded, "I never joke about such things; once I say something, I mean it." If at first it was just a whim, on the way over, she had thought it over seriously once again.
The other person was indeed a suitable dating partner, and it seemed that every time they met, he was helping her. The most important thing was that she felt her heart flutter a little bit too.
"Alright then, girlfriend, please take good care of me in the future!" Xu Weiran reached out his hand to her.
Sheng Ning’an paused for a moment, then reached out her hand as well, "Hello, boyfriend!"
Xu Weiran smoothly took her hand, "Let’s go, I’ll take you back to your dorm."
Sheng Ning’an looked at him in surprise: They had just confirmed their relationship, and he was already offering to take her back?
Xu Weiran smiled helplessly, "Miss, I came out in the middle of an experiment, and I have to return to finish it or else the dean will want to have a talk with me. Besides, this will likely become our daily routine, so, are you really sure about this?"
Sheng Ning’an lifted their clasped hands in front of him, "Do I still have room for regret now?"
Xu Weiran laughed lightly, "It doesn’t seem like it; once I’ve taken hold, I won’t let go. But I am indeed very busy and can’t be as available as other boyfriends, though I will try my best to make time for you."
"Alright then, I forgive you. What can I do if my boyfriend’s job is so prestigious? I’ll just have to put up with a little hardship," Sheng Ning’an said, having mentally prepared herself after choosing him.
After all, there was a researcher in her own family; she knew all too well how busy they could be.
Xu Weiran raised his hand to ruffle her hair, "Yeah, it’s hard on you, girlfriend!"
Sheng Ning’an replied, "As long as you know!" Fortunately, she wasn’t the clingy type of girlfriend who needed to be glued to her boyfriend twenty-four hours a day.
And having some distance helped keep things fresh.
"You don’t need to walk me back, go on with your work!" Sheng Ning’an said.
She wasn’t so demanding to insist he accompany her, knowing he was busy.
"No way," Xu Weiran looked at her, "I can’t just confirm a relationship and then let my girlfriend feel that her boyfriend doesn’t value her."
He seemed to be quite good at this.
Sheng Ning’an raised an eyebrow, "Boyfriend, how many relationships have you been in before?"
Xu Weiran: "You’re the first."
"How is that possible?" Sheng Ning’an was skeptical.
He was already twenty-six, how could he possibly never have been in a relationship before?
Xu Weiran: "Don’t you know? I’m too busy, I don’t have time for dating; otherwise, my mom wouldn’t need to set up blind dates for me."
That seemed to make sense.
"So, am I your first love?" It was hard to imagine that he had never been in a relationship before.
"Yes," Xu Weiran laughed, "Maybe I stayed single for so long just to meet you!"
Sheng Ning’an felt oddly charmed.
Her ears turned slightly red, and she coughed lightly, "Okay then, you are my first boyfriend as well. So it seems fair enough, we’re even!"
"Yes, it’s my luck to become the Princess’s boyfriend!" Xu Weiran curved his lips.
The little princess who was cherished by the Sheng Family; in essence, he had scored quite the deal.
He had suddenly become so eloquent.
Sheng Ning’an found it a bit unusual at first.
