Chapter 717: Chapter 717 Confession 3

Shen Mianmian couldn’t help asking herself, was it that she didn’t want to try hard for Brother He Nan?

Or was Brother He Nan not worth it?

Without a doubt, Brother He Nan was someone worth her effort.

If she missed out on Brother He Nan, would she ever meet someone she liked as much in the future?

Would she regret not cherishing Brother He Nan?

Having seen the eagle, could she still make room in her eyes for other birds?

Question after question flickered through her mind, and Shen Mianmian’s final answer was always to truly cherish the person before her.

It seemed that there was a voice inside her, constantly clamoring for her to bravely give it a try.

"Five minutes are up," He Nan’s voice echoed overhead. Five minutes—every one of her expressions and movements tugged at his heart. He, who could face a gun to his head without changing his expression, worried that her answer would not be the one he hoped for.

If she suddenly said she didn’t like him, or if because of his words she started to dislike him, what then should he do?

Shen Mianmian took a deep breath, "Brother He Nan, I’ve decided."

After a pause, she seriously added, "Brother He Nan, I want to give us a try. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that if I reject you today, I will definitely regret it later. Rather than regret it later, I’d rather be brave now."

Perhaps, there could truly be a happy ending?

"You’ve decided?" He Nan’s lips curved slightly, a clear sign of his good mood, "If you’ve decided, you can’t back out. With me, you can’t just casually say break up. Once it starts, you can’t just stop on a whim."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Why did she feel like she was boarding a pirate ship?

"Brother He Nan, let me be clear upfront. If you find someone you like more in the future, or if you want to break things off due to family pressure, you must be honest and tell me directly. I won’t cling on, but I hope you’ll be straightforward. If that day does come, I might be very sad, but I won’t hate you."

The kindness he had shown her was enough to last a lifetime.

"What kind of messy things are you thinking about in that little head?" He Nan chuckled softly, tapped her forehead gently with his hand, and then slowly drew her into his arms.

This was something he had always wanted to do, but he feared scaring her and because she was young, he had restrained himself from doing so. Now, finally holding her in his embrace, he looked down at her fuzzy head and felt his chest fill with something soft and warm, like cotton.

Shen Mianmian, lying against his chest, felt her heartbeat pounding fiercely—this was her first time being so close to an adult man, and this man was her new boyfriend.

It was Brother He Nan.

It was all over; just a hug had her feeling this way, what if they became even closer? Wouldn’t she get a stroke then?

Thinking about it, Shen Mianmian’s face turned red with embarrassment once again.

The two remained silent, just holding each other for a few minutes until Shen Mianmian awkwardly moved, "Brother He Nan, my legs are getting numb."

He Nan: "..."

He slowly let go of her, and just as Shen Mianmian was about to step back, he suddenly scooped her up around the waist.

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Her eyes were wide, her heart racing almost out of her chest.

What was Brother He Nan doing?

They had only been together for a few minutes, wasn’t this moving too fast?

While Shen Mianmian’s thoughts were getting dirtier, He Nan placed her on the sofa and bent down to knead her calves, "Feeling any better?"

Shen Mianmian: "..."
