Chapter 715: Chapter 715 Confession 1

Big Brother He must have discovered her feelings for him and came to remind her not to harbor any foolish dreams, right?

Thinking that He Nan had noticed something off about her, Shen Mianmian had already prepared herself to correct her mistake as soon as she realized it.

Upon hearing her words, He Nan’s gaze became even deeper. He stared at her for a while, as if he had also made some decision, and suddenly said, "Mianmian, after spending this time together, I don’t know when it happened, but I realized my feelings for you are different. Originally, I wanted to let you focus on your studies first and wait until you were older to tell you, but you’ve been avoiding me lately, and I feel it’s better to settle things between us now. What do you think?"

"..."

Shen Mianmian was stunned by his words. She thought she was hallucinating and even doubted whether the person before her was an imposter.

Is Big Brother He expressing the sentiment she was thinking of?

Big Brother He likes her?

How could that be possible?

Shen Mianmian’s mind was in complete disarray. She felt that with the conversation having reached this point, it would be better to clarify things.

"He, Big Brother He, are you trying to convey the meaning that I’m thinking of?"

"You don’t need to doubt it, you haven’t misunderstood. I like you, and I want to be in a relationship with you," said He Nan, his gaze fixed on her, filled with earnestness.

"..." Shen Mianmian blinked and blinked again, still somewhat unable to accept this fact, "Big Brother He, I’m not dreaming, am I? How could you possibly like me?"

It was too surreal.

"Why couldn’t I?" He Nan countered.

Shen Mianmian: "..." She was left speechless by He Nan’s question. She couldn’t articulate why, but she felt that Big Brother He shouldn’t like her.

Shen Mianmian didn’t know what to do. She stood there, dazed, her whole being in a panic.

Even considering escape.

He Nan didn’t give her a chance to dodge the issue, pressing her directly: "Mianmian, I want to be in a relationship with you, do you agree?"

"Big Brother He..." Shen Mianmian hesitated for a moment, then, biting down hard, she seriously said, "Big Brother He, that you would like me was something I could never have imagined, and it’s my good fortune. But what I want to say is, we really aren’t suitable for each other, I can’t be in a relationship with you."

Although Shen Mianmian was feeling particularly liberated at the moment, she also understood that the gap between them was not a small one.

Even if Big Brother He didn’t mind her ordinariness, that didn’t mean the He Family wouldn’t mind.

Matching family backgrounds is very important, and right now, she truly wasn’t a match for Big Brother He.

Yet He Nan misunderstood her meaning, his brows furrowing as he said, "You think I’m too old?"

Before Shen Mianmian could respond, he went on, "Indeed, I am six years older than you, but rest assured, even when I reach sixty years old, my physical condition won’t be any worse than your current classmates. You shouldn’t worry about the age problem. I’m not in a hurry to get married; I can wait until you graduate from university."

"..."

Shen Mianmian was somewhat amused and frustrated, as she hadn’t expected Big Brother He to so completely misunderstand her.

Physical fitness?

What was he thinking about?

Not sure if he meant that in a different sense, Shen Mianmian’s face flushed momentarily.

She took a deep breath to steady her emotions and decided to voice the worries in her heart.

"Big Brother He, you are aware of my situation. I’m just an orphan, and your family in Beijing is a prominent clan. Someone with my status isn’t a match for you. Rather than us being together now and separating later over those issues, it’s better if we never get together at all."

Shen Mianmian knew her own temperament well; if she and Big Brother He had never started anything, she could maintain her proper place.
