Chen Panpan felt a soft little hand grasp him, and his blood rushed to his head, his mind went blank for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he was already sitting at the computer desk.

The warmth of those little hands still lingered in his hand. Chen Panpan's eyes dimmed. If only they could hold hands like this forever.

"Look, I can't open the photos on the computer no matter what I do. I copied them in clearly," Li Mengmeng said, pouting.

Chen Panpan put away his little thoughts, looked at the computer, clicked the mouse lightly, and took a closer look. It turned out that Li Mengmeng's format conversion was incorrect, so the photos could not be read. This was a piece of cake for him. He just clicked a few times and all the photos appeared.

"Wow, Panpan, you're amazing! I couldn't get it to work after trying for ages, but you fixed it in less than a minute!" Li Mengmeng exclaimed excitedly.

Being praised by someone you like is always a pleasant thing, and Chen Panpan's mood brightened up.

If he hadn't seen that photo, the atmosphere might have continued to be wonderful. However, he cared too much about Li Mengmeng. Even though the photo was a thumbnail, he immediately noticed that Li Mengmeng was nestled in a boy's arms.

Chen Panpan was struck dumb. She instinctively moved the mouse and clicked on the photo. Sure enough, she hadn't made a mistake.

When the photo was enlarged, Li Mengmeng saw it too. She didn't pay much attention to it, but when she saw Chen Panpan's face turn pale in an instant, she blurted out, "This is my cousin. I haven't seen him for several years."

Upon hearing Li Mengmeng's explanation, Chen Panpan's complexion gradually regained some color, but the feeling of losing her made him not want to experience it a second time.

"Mengmeng, even if he's your cousin, you shouldn't take such intimate photos. Remember that for the future." Chen Panpan knew she had no right to say anything to Li Mengmeng, but she couldn't help but speak up.

"You're acting so serious. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were my dad." Li Mengmeng was a little unaccustomed to Chen Panpan's change.

"I'm doing this for your own good. You're a girl, so you should be more careful," Chen Panpan said, sounding a little resentful.

"Panpan, you don't actually like me, do you? My mom said that when a boy starts nagging, that means he likes you." Li Mengmeng blurted out, then her face flushed red as if she had discovered some incredible secret.

Chen Panpan wasn't in much better shape either; her once snow-white face was now as red as Guan Yu's.

Both of them were blushing and looking at each other, especially Li Mengmeng, whose eyes were almost overflowing with tears.

"Yes, yes, I like you, that's why I care about you so much." Chen Panpan steeled himself and finally said what he had kept hidden in his heart for so long. Then, without waiting for Li Mengmeng's reaction, he hurriedly opened the door and rushed out.

Li Mengmeng sat there, unable to come to her senses for a long time. She didn't know what her feelings were for Chen Panpan. She had only seen his expression change when he misunderstood the photo, and she was very anxious. Her heart suddenly started to ache, so she hurriedly explained. Only when she saw his expression return to normal did she feel better.

When she heard Chen Panpan say that she liked her, she felt a little bit of secret joy. Could it be that she also liked Chen Panpan?

While Li Mengmeng was organizing her thoughts, Chen Panpan, with a bright red face, quickly returned home.

"What's wrong with you? Your face is as red as a monkey's bottom." Chen Niannian was pouring water when she saw her younger brother's appearance and asked in surprise.

"It's too hot." Chen Panpan said this and rushed into the room.

"Is it hot?" Chen Niannian looked outside in confusion. It had been raining for several days, so it couldn't possibly be hot.

Soon Chen Niannian found out the answer. In the afternoon, Chen Panpan went to work. Li Mengmeng knew that Chen Niannian had gone back to her parents' home. She ran over, pulled her into the bedroom, and whispered to her.

"What did you say? Panpan said she likes you." Chen Niannian asked incredulously.

"What's with that expression? Can't I be liked?" Li Mengmeng pouted, dissatisfied with her friend's attitude.

"No, that's not what I meant. Panpan doesn't seem like the type to confess his feelings easily. Is it because you're so charming that he broke through his own limitations?" Chen Niannian said, conflicted.

"Of course, I'm beautiful and intelligent, it's normal for people to like me," Li Mengmeng said earnestly.

Chen Niannian's lips twitched slightly. "Then do you like Panpan?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but I don't dislike him. What should I do?" Li Mengmeng frowned.

"If you like someone, you like them; if you don't, just say so clearly. Don't make everyone feel anxious." Chen Niannian never likes to drag things out when it comes to relationships.

"You're really not a good person to confide in. I just wanted you to give me advice," Li Mengmeng protested, dissatisfied.

"Okay, then let me ask you, would you be sad because Panpan is sad, or happy because he is happy?" One is Chen Niannian's best friend, and the other is Chen Niannian's younger brother. She has to resolve this matter now.

“I saw him sad that day, and I felt really uncomfortable too,” Li Mengmeng recalled before answering slowly.

"Looks like there's a chance," Chen Niannian thought to herself.

"Mengmeng, give Panpan a chance. He really likes you. Otherwise, knowing him as I do, he wouldn't have confessed on his own initiative." Chen Niannian tried to give Chen Panpan a chance, but in her heart she was cursing this brat for always doing unexpected things.

“I also think Panpan is great.” Li Mengmeng’s mind began to drift back to all the little things she had shared with Chen Panpan over the years. She realized that they had so many memories together.

"Then why don't you two try dating for a while?" Chen Niannian added fuel to the fire.

"Sis, look what I bought! Eat it while it's hot, and also take some to Mengmeng." Just as the two were talking, Chen Panpan's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Chen Panpan stood at Chen Niannian's door and saw Li Mengmeng inside. He couldn't say another word.

It was almost evening when Chen Panpan came home from get off work. On the way, she bought San Dao Osmanthus Cake, which was Chen Niannian and Li Mengmeng's favorite food.

"You can deliver it yourself, I don't care." Chen Niannian took a few pieces of osmanthus cake, and casually pushed Li Mengmeng out the door. "You two can chat slowly, I'm going to eat." Then she closed the door, thinking to herself, "You brat, this is all I can do for you."

"Um, let's go to your room," Li Mengmeng said gracefully.

At this moment, Chen Panpan had long lost the courage she had yesterday. With her head down, she didn't even have the courage to look at Li Mengmeng. She turned around and led the way back to the room.
