Su Nianhe's heart was pounding like a drum.

With her hands behind her back and her fingers digging into the cracks in the brickwork, she stammered, "A...a relationship."

"I didn't hear you clearly." Shen Huai deliberately leaned closer, his breath brushing against her small nose. "Say it again."

Left with no way out, Su Nianhe could only bite her lower lip and raise her voice slightly: "Let's date."

"Then tell me now, to my face, what am I to you?" Shen Huai pressed on relentlessly.

Su Nianhe's ears turned bright red.

Why does this man have to listen to such embarrassing things?

She swallowed hard, her voice soft and sweet, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor: "Yes, my boyfriend."

The two words that came out of her mouth were sweeter and more alluring than the fragrance on her body.

Shen Huai's Adam's apple bobbed violently twice.

He got drunk the night before last. Although he had some memory of it, it was still shrouded in the haze of alcohol.

He is now perfectly lucid.

He watched with a clear mind as this beautiful girl was cornered by him, and listened with a clear mind as she admitted that she was his girlfriend.

He wanted to truly feel her.

"Since you're dating," Shen Huai's voice was hoarse, "you can't just talk about dating."

Su Nianhe froze, looking at him with her watery eyes: "Then... what else do we need to do?"

"I want a hug," Shen Huai said matter-of-factly.

Su Nianhe gasped, quickly covering her chest with both hands: "No! It's broad daylight, someone could pass by at any moment!"

"No one comes behind the water tower. You just said yourself that I have a bad temper and I'll block people's doors in the middle of the night." Shen Huai lowered his head slightly, with a hint of coaxing, "If you hug me now, I promise I'll never block your door at night again."

Su Nianhe was stunned by his shameless words.

The mayor's son is usually as cold as ice, so how come he's so good at negotiating in private?

But she was really afraid that he would come looking for her again in the middle of the night.

If Liu Huizhen and Wang Liping find out, she's doomed.

"Is a hug enough?" Su Nianhe asked softly for confirmation.

"Mmm." Shen Huai straightened up, opened his arms, and gave her the freedom to do as she pleased. "You hug me first. Hug me tight."

Su Nianhe hesitated for a long time.

She looked at the man's broad, muscular chest; his white short-sleeved shirt was spotless and smelled pleasantly of soap.

She slowly reached out her hands, like a thief, and gradually wrapped them around Shen Huai's waist.

The man's waist was very firm; you could feel the tight muscle lines through the fabric.

She merely circled him loosely, not daring to press herself against him forcefully.

Shen Huai was very dissatisfied with this perfunctory hug.

He lowered his arms, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her forcefully into his embrace.

"Hmm."

Su Nianhe bumped into him, her cheek pressed directly against his chest.

The sweet aroma spread uncontrollably, becoming more than ten times stronger than before.

"That's what a hug should be like." Shen Huai rested his chin on the top of her head, his arms wrapped tightly around her.

He was fully aware of the soft, warm body in his arms.

Su Nianhe was choked and couldn't breathe, helplessly clutching the fabric on both sides of his shirt.

"Technician Shen...that's enough..." she pleaded softly, her voice tinged with grievance.

"Don't call me Technician Shen." Shen Huai didn't let go, his palm gently stroking her lower back. "Call me by my name."

Su Nianhe dared not call him by his name directly.

In the Shen family, even Shen Tao had to give way to this younger brother, so how could she, a mere nanny, dare to do so?

"I dare not."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Shen Huai lowered his head, his lips brushing against her earlobe. "You're my boyfriend now, you should call me by my name."

Su Nianhe felt weak all over from his touch, and could only grit her teeth and whisper, "Shen... Shen Huai."

Shen Huai let out a low laugh from his chest.

He loosened his grip slightly, creating a small distance between them.

Just as Su Nianhe thought the hug was over and was about to pick up her shopping basket, Shen Huai cupped her face in his hands.

His fingertips, rough with calluses, brushed against her smooth cheek.

"I'm done hugging." Shen Huai's gaze fell on her rosy lips, his voice growing softer, "When you're dating, you also need to kiss."

Su Nianhe's mind completely exploded.

"No!" She turned her head away in a panic, pushing hard against his chest with both hands. "Absolutely not! I didn't say I wanted to kiss you!"

"That was just now." Shen Huai was completely unreasonable, pinching her chin and turning her face back. "I was drunk the night before last, so that doesn't count. I have to make up for it today while I'm sober."

Without saying a word, he lowered his head and kissed her directly.

Unlike the impulsive kiss I had the night before last, which was fueled by alcohol.

This time, Shen Huai was perfectly clear-headed, his movements were extremely restrained, yet they exuded an irresistible possessiveness.

His lips were warm, and they pressed directly against hers.

Su Nianhe froze completely, like a wooden board.

Unable to breathe properly, she could only stare wide-eyed at the man so close to her.

Shen Huai closed his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath them.

Su Nianhe's body trembled violently, and her hands instinctively gripped his shirt tightly.

Shen Huai cupped the back of her head with his hand, deepening the kiss.

He was seducing her, gradually breaking down her defenses.

Su Nianhe felt increasingly difficult to breathe, surrounded by his scent.

She felt somewhat uncomfortable due to the tension and the unfamiliar stimulation.

The rich aroma of fruit filled their every breath.

The smell made Shen Huai's rationality waver.

He released her lips, followed the corner of her mouth, kissed her cheek, and finally stopped behind her ear.

Su Nianhe's legs went weak; if Shen Huai hadn't been supporting her with his arm, she would have slid right to the ground.

"It smells so good." Shen Huai whispered in her ear, his voice hoarse.

He was fully aware of the kind of beauty he was holding in his arms.

Su Nianhe's eyes were red, and she was breathing heavily.

She dared not look at him, and could only bury her face in his chest, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Shen Huai didn't press her any further.

He calmed his breathing and reached out to straighten her wrinkled collar.

"Alright." He bent down to pick up the shopping basket from the ground and shoved it into her hands. "Go back now. You really don't want me?"

"I'll go back myself!"

Su Nianhe felt as if she had been granted a pardon. Carrying her basket, she walked awkwardly towards the main road.

After walking a few steps, Shen Huai slowly added a sentence from behind.

"Remember what you promised today. If you ever dare to go on a date with another man again, I'll tell everyone in the compound that you're my boyfriend."

Su Nianhe paused, then walked even faster in fright.

Shen Huai leaned against the wall of the water tower, watching her fleeing figure, and raised his hand to touch his lips.

The feeling of being awake is a million times better than in a dream.
