    Chapter Index

    Baili’s heart trembled again, the man had already led her in.

    It’s a botanical garden.

    It occupies an area about half the size of a gymnasium, but there are very few people coming and going. Perhaps because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, except for a few staff members, Baili saw almost no one after entering.

    The hand being held and the arm were both semi-paralyzed. She could barely feel the sensation in her arm now. She only knew that… her palms were so hot and she was already sweating.

    Shen An led her all the way to a stone bench surrounded by rocks and vegetation. Then he wiped the bench with a tissue and pulled her to sit down.

    He took out a gift box of mooncakes from his backpack, took out a red packaged mooncake and handed it to her, “Try it and see what it tastes like.”

    Bai Li thanked her in a low voice, and after opening the package, she glanced at Shen An.

    Shen An found a comfortable position, supporting his chin with his left hand and looking at her. When she looked over, he curled his lips and smiled, “Okay, I won’t look at you.”

    he raised his right hand to cover his eyes.

    On the contrary, it made Baili even more embarrassed.

    She held the mooncake hesitantly. After a while, she gently took off her sunglasses and mask, lowered her head and took a bite.

    It’s chocolate filling.

    “Is it delicious?” Shen An asked.

    Bai Li looked up at He. He had slender fingers, his index finger and middle finger were pressed between his eyebrows, his ring finger and little finger rested on his nose. A pair of dark pupils were exposed in the middle, staring at her.

    “…”

    She suddenly turned red at the base of her ears and her voice trembled, “Okay, it’s delicious.”

    “Let me have a taste.” He stood up and moved closer to Bai Li. He had deep contours and sharply angled jaw. He was so close that warm breath was spraying on her face.

    She even…heard the sound of his Adam’s apple rolling.

    Bai Li turned her face away in panic, feeling pressure on her hand. Her body trembled slightly. She turned her head and saw the man lowering his head and biting the mooncake in her hand.

    He licked the tip of his tongue and said, “It’s quite sweet.”

    Baili looked at the mooncake in her hand and felt that the blood all over her body was burning.

    How could he eat…the moon cake that she had eaten?

    “What’s wrong?” Shen An asked knowingly.

    Bai Li lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling. After a while, she said in a soft voice, “No, it’s okay.”

    But he never dared to touch that mooncake again.

    “Don’t want to eat?” Shen An saw she was holding the moon cake, her posture was stiff and her eyes were downcast, like a student who had done something wrong.

    Bai Li bit her lip and didn’t know how to answer.

    The mooncake in his hand had been eaten by he, and the tooth marks were on the edge where she had bitten it.

    There was a fire in her body, which made her throat dry, her palms sweaty, and her fingers trembled.

    Shen An lowered his head and came closer, and took another bite on the mooncake she was holding. Her knuckles were stiff, and Mooncake let go of her hand, and he saw him bite the mooncake and return to the stone bench to sit down.

    His eyebrows were raised slightly, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he said vaguely, “Then I’ll eat.”

    Bai Li rubbed her index fingers. When Shen An took the mooncake away, her hot breath burned her fingers. Even now, her whole hand is numb.

    She was so confused that she didn’t dare to look at him and just stared at the plants outside.

    “Go for a walk?” After Shen An finished eating, he put the mooncakes into his bag, put one hand on his shoulder, and handed it to her with the other hand.

    Baili’s arms became sore and numb again. She lowered her head and turned away her face. Her voice was trembling due to nervousness, “Shen, Doctor Shen, we… are not suitable.”

    “What’s inappropriate?” He was too tall, and his looking-down posture seemed a bit condescending. He put his bag on the stone bench, half-crouched on the ground, and looked up at her.

    The golden sunlight shines sporadically on He’s face through the leaves, leaving a clear golden light that shines on He’s raised Adam’s apple. As He talks, the raised joint rises and falls.

    “Do you think I’m old?”

    Bai Li panicked and immediately shook her head, “No, no, I…it’s me, I…”

    “Since I don’t dislike it, I don’t hate it.” He smiled and stood up and came closer, stopping at a just right position, looking straight into the eyes that were widened due to panic, and asked in a low voice, “Does that mean you like me?”

    Baili’s face turned red suddenly, and she shook her head, “No, it’s not…”

    Shen An pressed his thumb on her soft lips.

    Bai Li seemed to be frozen, motionless, only her limbs were trembling.

    He gently rubbed her trembling lips with his thumb, and said in a low voice, “Bai Li, I don’t want to hear you reject me.”

    he finally let go.

    Bai Li exhaled nervously and took a step back involuntarily, her voice breaking, “Shen, Doctor Shen…”

    “I regret it.” He stood up slowly, his eyelids drooping, looking at his thumb.

    Bai Li was confused, “Wha, what?”

    He raised his eyelids and looked at her with dotted eyes, his voice low and hoarse, “When we were at the door just now, I promised you to only hold hands.”

    With a “boom”, Bai Li’s ears caught fire, and the fire burned her entire body along the earlobe.
