A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Shen Nian was flustered and confused, and she even stammered.

"Uncle, what's wrong today?" She couldn't think of an excuse, so she had to play dumb.

She thought she could get away with it, but the next second she heard the pleasant male voice continue speaking on the phone.

"You kissed me today!"

Mo Ze's tone seemed to be accusing Shen Nian of irresponsible behavior, with a hint of grievance.

"Uncle, I, I today, I today is, because, because..." Shen Nian was so flustered that she couldn't speak coherently and couldn't explain why she had suddenly kissed Mo Ze for a long time.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed very patient, waiting for Shen Nian's reply.

Unable to avoid it, Shen Nian seemed to have no choice but to speak her truest answer.

"I like you."

These three things don't seem too difficult to say.

Holding her phone in the cramped bathroom, Shen Nian held her breath, waiting for Mo Ze's reaction. Only she knew the anxiety in her heart. There was no sound on the other end of the line. Shen Nian thought that her impulsiveness had put Mo Ze in a difficult position. She suppressed her wildly pounding heart and continued speaking.

“I didn’t mean anything by it. We’ll stick to our previous agreement. Once the share transfer agreement takes effect, I’ll transfer half of the shares to you. I’ll also cooperate fully with the divorce proceedings and definitely won’t delay you, Uncle…”

Suddenly, a soft chuckle came from the phone, and Shen Nian stopped.

She gripped her phone tightly with one hand, while her other hand twisted her pajamas, turning the hem into a mess.

Then I heard a soft, low voice coming from the phone.

"Then let's officially be together."

Shen Nian seemed unable to believe her ears. A complex mix of emotions welled up inside her—shock, joy, and a touch of self-doubt. She asked blankly, "What?"

Moze's pleasant voice reached my ears again, and he said.

"Niannian, let's be together."

Shen Nian suppressed her excitement and replied with a silly smile, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Nian felt as if she were walking on cotton, and she floated out of the bathroom. She then climbed into her small bed, her lips curving upwards in a sweet smile that she couldn't hide.

Although the older man didn't say he liked her, he was willing to be with her, so she always had a better chance than others. Just like Lin Ling said, "being near the water tower gives you an advantage," and she was always first in line.

Shen Nian suddenly gained confidence, especially after confirming her feelings, and she couldn't bear to give up on the older man.

The next morning, Shen Nian got up early. Everyone had classes in the morning, and after Shen Nian finished washing up, the others also got up one after another.

Lin Ling was the first to notice that something was wrong with Shen Nian.

"Niannian, what are you secretly laughing about so early in the morning? I've seen you doing it several times already."

Shen Nian cupped her face in her hands. "Huh? Yes, really? I'm not always like this."

"I heard you making a phone call in the bathroom yesterday. Who were you talking to so late at night?" Wu Sisi asked as she yawned and climbed out of bed.

Hearing the gossip, Chen Jia also came over, and the three of them surrounded Shen Nian.

Looking at Shen Nian again, her face showed a shy expression, which immediately suggested something was wrong.

"It's nothing really..." she said, still a little embarrassed.

"Nothing much, but something is wrong. Hurry up and tell us, we're all so anxious," Lin Ling urged impatiently.

Shen Nian glanced at everyone with a smile in her eyes.

"Well... I'm officially dating the older man now."

The three of them were silent for a few seconds, somewhat stunned.

A scream immediately erupted.

"I knew it! I had to get my hands on such a high-quality man!" Lin Ling said triumphantly.

"Wow, how romantic! It's like a scene from a movie," Chen Jia exclaimed innocently.

Wu Sisi also happily said, "Congratulations, Niannian."

Just then, Shen Nian's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Mo Ze calling, so she quickly answered.

"Uncle~"

"Niannian, come downstairs, I brought you breakfast."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian rushed to the balcony and, sure enough, saw the familiar car and the person right downstairs in the dormitory building.

"I'm coming down right away," she said into her phone, then hurriedly ran out the door in her slippers.

The other three followed her to the balcony, and when they saw Mo Ze downstairs, they all sighed with emotion.

"Mr. Mo, you didn't come all this way just to bring Nian Nian breakfast, did you?"

"It seems so." They saw Shen Nian rushing downstairs from upstairs, and Mo Ze handed her the bag he was carrying.

"Help! Where can I find a man who is handsome, rich, and so great?!"

“Niannian has suddenly raised the bar for finding a boyfriend in our dorm. I feel like I’m not going to find one anymore.”

"Feel the same."

......

downstairs.

Shen Nian rushed to Mo Ze, panting heavily from running so fast.

Mo Ze handed her the warm breakfast in his hand, "These are the shrimp dumplings you used to like. They were just fried this morning."

Shen Nian blankly accepted the insulated bag from Mo Ze, completely unexpected that he would personally bring her breakfast.

These pan-fried dumplings were probably made and fried by the uncle himself.

Shen Nian couldn't describe her feelings at that moment. It felt like she hadn't felt this way in a very, very long time.

She smiled sweetly at Mo Ze, "Thank you, Uncle."

Mo Ze suddenly stepped forward and pulled Shen Nian into his arms. The faint sandalwood scent emanating from him immediately enveloped Shen Nian, bringing a sense of peace. Shen Nian nestled obediently against Mo Ze's chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, and her own heartbeat seemed to gradually become clearer as well.

Moze's low, gentle voice came from above.

“Niannian, this is my first time dating a girl, and I don’t know what to do. I want to have what others have.”

He was explaining his behavior today.

Every morning, male students bring breakfast to the girls' dormitory at the university, and there are quite a few people coming and going at this time.

Shen Nian's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still took the initiative to reach out and wrap her arms around Mo Ze's waist.

The two embraced each other, oblivious to everyone else around them.

Mo Ze smiled, having thought about it all night, and finally managed to hug the person.

Shen Nian's lips also curled up.

She once thought she would never love again.

The departure of her mother, the estrangement from her family, the separation from her childhood sweetheart...

She always thought she would grow old alone.

But fate arranged for her to meet the older man, and for this beautiful encounter to happen.

So it turns out... love really is something that makes your heart flutter.
