Chapter 268
I nudged Colin with my elbow. “Quit being so tense. You’re not in the military.”
He looked around to observe his surroundings. Only when he made sure that we were alone in the living room did he let out a sigh of relief. Relaxing, he wiped away the sweat on his face. “This is worse than serving the
military.”
I laughed out loud, unable to contain myself when I thought of his nervousness. And very uncharacteristically of him, he blushed. His face and neck were crimson, which made me laugh even harder. So much so that my parents popped their heads out of the kitchen to check on me.‘
Colin gritted his teeth and locked his arm around my neck. Then, he dragged me into my room and put me down firmly on the couch so that I couldn’t move. “It’s your turn now. Tell me that I’m officially your boyfriend.”
Colin was very warm. Trapped between his arms, I felt like I was in a sauna. My heartbeat went out of control. “But Colin, isn’t it too premature to make
it official?”
I nibbled on my fingers, too embarrassed to say yes.
As a woman, I had my vanity. I just wanted him to continue pampering me like a princess.
I wanted him to buy me some flowers, bring me to a fancy restaurant, and fly a banner on top of the city that said “I love Luna!” I knew they were clichés, but I enjoyed those things, alright?
“What else do you want from me? Just tell me.” As usual, Colin wasted no
time.
I mulled. “The testing period is over. Now, it’s the probation period. Your

performance will determine when it’ll end.”
Colin’s expression darkened, but he said yes nonetheless. “You’re so mean,.. Lulu. I’ll impress you with my performance. But first, you have to reward me.”
Reward? What reward? No one had ever asked me for a reward before.
Colin’s black orbs stared at me for a while. Then, his face slowly leaned in until I could feel his warm breath on my cheek and see his long, curvy eyelashes.
What was he doing? Was he trying to kiss me? Bite me? Eat me?
As I panicked, Colin suddenly laughed out loud. His broad hands held my face, and his soft lips met my forehead, leaving a peck. “My seal of affection.
Seal? What was I? A confidential letter?
After the kiss, Colin pulled away and sat on the couch, pretending that he was observing my room.
And that was the scene my mom saw when she peeked into my room. I was sitting on one side of the couch in a daze while Colin sat on the other side with a reddened cheek. His eyes darted around, and he sat in an upright position. He wanted to look calm and composed.
When Mom brought it up much later, she smirked fondly and said Colin could be quite uptight in a cutesy way.
Meanwhile, I was stumped. Colin and I had spent a lot of time together. He once even hugged me to sleep on the same bed in a hospital. I didn’t think
too much of it.
But after I agreed to date Colin, spending time with him felt extra awkward, especially to me. I couldn’t look him in the eye at all. When he approached me, my heart would beat faster. I would get all flustered.

Not wanting to stare at each other in awkward silence, I decided to ask him to make a compromise. “Colin, why don’t you go home first? Your parents might get mad at you if you come back without paying them a visit, no?”
I poked at his sturdy pecs. He grabbed my finger and nibbled it, sending butterflies into my stomach.
