They hadn't managed to do it that one time. Once Xu Su sobered up, she wasn't so easy to talk to anymore.
They reverted to a relationship where even a hug felt a little too intimate.
She was too cold, and he didn't dare to be rash.
A few days later, Shen Chen couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed her wrist, cornering her in the hallway, and demanded, "Is your promise still good?"
Xu Su frowned. "What?"
"You weren't even that drunk that day, so don't tell me you blacked out!" Shen Chen laughed in exasperation, then said through gritted teeth, "You said I was your boyfriend. Are you taking it back?"
"..." Xu Su was silent for a moment before nodding slowly. "I'll acknowledge it."
She thought for a moment, then asked, "For how long?"
Shen Chen's brow furrowed. "What do you mean, for how long?"
Xu Su said, "How long are we going to be together?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, an indescribable silence fell over the stairwell.
