The voluptuous and beautiful nanny, Technician Shen fell for her.

Shen Huai took two steps forward and stood beside her.

"He's the one who leased it. This land is cheap, but with the expansion of Jiang City in a few years, its value will multiply many times over."

He Jianjun was walking out of the gatekeeper's brick house, carrying a net bag containing several freshly washed red-skinned early peaches.

"Old Shen, sister-in-law!" He Jianjun shouted at the top of his lungs, "You two go for a walk halfway up the mountain, the peaches are already ripe there, the scenery is beautiful and there's no one around. Uncle and I will go to the little stream in front to catch a couple of fish, and we'll grill them here for lunch."

He Jianjun shoved the net into Shen Huai's hand, then turned and ran away with great foresight, leaving no trace of his back.

Shen Huai, carrying the net, nodded his chin towards the hillside: "Let's go, let's go up and take a look."

Su Nianhe obediently followed beside him.

Walking up the dirt road in the orchard, you are surrounded by lush fruit trees on both sides. Their branches and leaves are so thick that they completely block out the sunlight, leaving only a few dappled shadows.

The higher they went, the quieter it became, with only birdsong and the sound of their footsteps on the fallen leaves.

Shen Huai freed one hand and naturally grasped Su Nianhe's wrist, sliding it down to completely envelop her hand in his palm.

The man's palms were large and warm, with thin calluses.

Su Nianhe was startled and instinctively shrank back.

"Brother He is still downstairs." She lowered her voice and looked around.

"He went to the ditch, we can't see him." Shen Huai didn't let go, but instead held on even tighter, leading her to continue walking uphill.

After walking for a while, we came to a flat grassland halfway up the mountain.

It was surrounded by several sturdy peach trees, forming a natural hiding place.

Shen Huai stopped and put the net on the ground.

He took off his light blue casual shirt and casually spread it on the grass.

He was only wearing a white tank top underneath, revealing his muscular arms.

"Sit here," Shen Huai said, pointing to the shirt spread on the floor.

Su Nianhe shook her head repeatedly: "These are new clothes, they'll be hard to wash if they get dirty."

"If it's not clean, just throw it away." Shen Huai said firmly, pressing her shoulder to make her sit down.

Su Nianhe could only sit obediently on her shirt.

Shen Huai took a plump early peach from the net bag and held it to her lips.

"Try it, He Jianjun said the peaches in this orchard are sweet."

Su Nianhe was indeed a little thirsty.

I was so nervous at home this morning that I barely ate any food.

She reached out and took it, then took a bite. The peach juice was plentiful, sweet, and refreshing.

She ate very seriously, her cheeks puffed out.

Shen Huai didn't eat; he just squatted down in front of her and looked at her.

His gaze was fixed on her face, direct and undisguised.

Su Nianhe felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and even slowed down her chewing of the peach.

She swallowed the fruit in her mouth and extended the hand holding the peach forward.

"Why...why are you staring at me like that?" Su Nianhe muttered softly, a hint of embarrassment at being caught out. "Aren't you going to eat?"

Even though there were still several clean peaches in the net bag, he kept staring at the one in her hand.

Shen Huai didn't take anything from the net bag.

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, and brought his hand close to hers.

Before Su Nianhe could react, Shen Huai had already opened his mouth and, without any hesitation, took a big bite from the spot where Su Nianhe had just bitten.

Warm lips brushed against her fingertips.

Su Nianhe's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the peach on the grass.

Shen Huai stepped back half an inch, slowly chewing the peach flesh in his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, before swallowing.

"It's very sweet," Shen Huai said, looking into her eyes.

He spoke those two words slowly and clearly. Although he was commenting on peaches, the way his eyes fell on them clearly carried a hint of probing with a deeper meaning.

Su Nianhe's ears suddenly burned.

This person even tries to take advantage of others when eating fruit.

"There's more in the net bag." Su Nianhe pulled her hand back, wanting to finish the half peach in her hand herself, or simply give it to him.

"That one isn't as sweet as this one," Shen Huai said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

He simply sat down next to Su Nianhe, with one long leg bent and his arm resting on his knee.

Every time Su Nianhe took a bite, he would lean over and take a bite too.

The two of them devoured the peach, taking turns eating it.

In the end, only one peach pit remained.

Shen Huai took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket, pulled Su Nianhe's hand, and carefully wiped her fingertips, which were stained with peach juice.

He wiped very slowly, one finger at a time.

"Just now in the car, when He Jianjun mentioned that woman from the south, you didn't even blink," Shen Huai said, wiping his hands as he spoke, his tone casual and conversational. "What, so fascinated by other people's affairs?"

Su Nianhe let him hold her hand and honestly replied, "I just think she's amazing."

Shen Huai paused for a moment, then turned to look at her: "What's so great about you?"

"Brother He said that she can run a wholesale stall in Guangzhou all by herself and make a lot of money doing business on her own." Su Nianhe said, her voice filled with longing. "She doesn't have to be at the mercy of men, and she doesn't have to be sold to an old man by her family for a dowry. She has confidence in herself and can live however she wants."

In Liuhe Village, women are treated as objects, as bargaining chips for exchanging money.

From a young age, she had seen many wives who were beaten and scolded by their husbands but dared not talk back, and many girls who were forced to marry by their parents.

When she suddenly heard that a woman could run her own business and even make a shrewd person like He Jianjun admire her, she thought it was amazing from the bottom of her heart.

Shen Huai put away the handkerchief and looked at her serious profile.

He knew where her unease came from.

Given her upbringing and her current situation as a caregiver living under someone else's roof, she desperately longs to have real money in her own hands.

"You'll be amazing too." Shen Huai's tone was steady, without any perfunctory tone.

Su Nianhe paused for a moment, turned to look at him, and then lowered her eyes in frustration: "I can't even recognize all the roads in Jiang City, how can I be so great? Lianhua said she was going to buy goods, and I just wanted to go with her to try. If you really asked me to do the accounting myself, I couldn't even write the numbers in capital letters."

"If you can't write it, then learn it," Shen Huai said matter-of-factly.

"Who should I learn from?"

"I."

Su Nianhe was completely stunned, her eyes wide open.

The mayor's son, the youngest cadre in the textile factory, and a master technician who draws machine blueprints, is going to teach a country nanny to read?

If word gets out, people will think Technician Shen has lost his mind.

"You'll teach me?" Su Nianhe asked uncertainly.

"Hmm." Shen Huai leaned back, his hands resting on the grass. "Didn't you want to save up capital to start a business? The worst thing you can do in business is to be illiterate. You need to look at purchase orders, keep accounts, and sign contracts. If you can't read, someone will sell you out while you're still helping them count the money."
