Chapter 819: Du Teng Can’t Cause Much Trouble.
"I just suddenly wanted to ask." Shen Mianmian said curiously, "Big Brother He, I remember the first time I met you, I was particularly disheveled. I was only fifteen then, just a little kid. You surely didn’t feel anything for me, and there was no love at first sight, but why did you want to help me then?"
Looking into her clear, lively eyes, He Nan raised his hand to tuck a stray lock of her hair behind her ear and said, "Your eyes, it was your eyes."
A sudden pain pricked Shen Mianmian’s heart, and she couldn’t help but seek confirmation, "Do you think my eyes are particularly beautiful?"
He Nan chuckled, "Who praises themselves like that." Seeing her serious expression, He Nan couldn’t help but pinch her cheek. Even at nineteen, she still had a bit of baby fat, which felt particularly nice to the touch. Every time he pinched her cheek, he felt a ticklish sensation in his palm, which seemed to feather over his heart as well.
Shen Mianmian pouted her lips and asked again, "So you were attracted by my eyes, right? You think my eyes are very beautiful."
"Yes." Seeing her fixated on this issue, He Nan nodded in acknowledgment, "Eyes are the windows to the soul. Back then, your gaze truly moved me."
He was typically unemotional and not a particularly sympathetic person, and he couldn’t clearly explain why he had wanted to meddle at that time.

The feeling as if her heart was being pricked by needles became even clearer, and Shen Mianmian felt a suffocating discomfort in her chest.
Seeing her distressed expression, He Nan’s lips thinned slightly as he asked with concern, "Is there something on your mind?"
