"Luna, is everything alright?" Jiang Xingyu sat up and held her shoulders. 

She snapped out of her thoughts. "Yeah. I'm alright. I'm just… tired." 

The man did not probe any further but she didn't look alright in the slightest. The thought of it made him anxious. He had once heard Lin Jian, that womanizer, say that some women would feel regret and repulsion after having s.e.x for the first time. 

It was Luna's first time last night… could she be regretting it? 

Thinking about their relationship that was yet to be stable, it was indeed likely. Perhaps she felt horrible for having done it with a man who was neither her boyfriend nor her husband. 

All night, he had been unable to sleep, afraid that he would wake up and find that he was dreaming. When he finally became too sleepy, he had mentally come up with a way to express his feelings to her in the morning, then propose that they get into a relationship. 

But seeing what kind of mood she was in, he didn't dare. He didn't want to ruin the memory of that perfect moment, so he chose to act like what happened was something natural. 

"You must be hungry. I'll make us breakfast." He fled from the bed as fast as he could. 

Alas, Luna could pretty much guess what he was trying to evade. "Let's talk about last night." 

"Do we have to?" He dreaded. 

She pulled his hand so he could only obediently sit on the bed and listen to what she had to say. 

She played with her fingertips for a moment until she could not drag the matter anymore. "Jiang Xingyu, what happened last night shouldn't have happened." 

That was what he was expecting but he still felt his heart crush into smithereens. "You… want to treat it like an accident?" 

Luna immediately felt guilty about what she had said. "I didn't say to treat it like an accident—it wasn't one. Let's be honest, we both wanted it."

The second part made a smile surface on his lips. Whatever she was going to say, he would still be glad. As long as she didn't feel like she had done something she didn't want to do, it was alright. 

She watched his expression turn calmer before she continued, "It's just… It shouldn't have happened at the time it did. Our relationship is too rushed. One day we're strangers to each other, the next day we're kissing and crossing the final boundary… don't you think it's too fast? I think we should slow down." 

She looked like an enormous weight had been lifted off her shoulder when she finally spoke her mind. He scanned her expression for a moment and let out a sigh. "Luna, I agree with you." 

She raised an eyebrow and he continued, "We did rush it too fast. But don't you think it's too late to talk about slowing it down? What's there to slow at this point?" 

Luna was dazed. Indeed, how could they slow it down after that irreversible deed they did? But then again, "I don't want to get into a relationship with you just because of that. I don't want to become your girlfriend today, and then use it as a justification for what we did. Who knows how long such a relationship can last?" 

This was why she felt it was a mistake. After what happened, there were only two choices she could make: either be his girlfriend to protect their dignity, or forget about what happened and treat it like a one night stand. Both solutions would be too unfair to him. 

When he understood her point, he felt like he had just been pardoned after being sentenced to death. He held her hand comfortingly. "Luna, it's alright. I want nothing more than to take responsibility but if you are not ready, we can sweep it under the rug until you are ready." 

"Xingyu, thank you." She leaned onto his chest in relief. 

He smiled as he hugged her shoulders, loving the sound of his name from her lips. 

When he felt a certain shameless part of his body start to react to their close hug, he pulled away. "I will get breakfast ready." 

"Sure." 

It was only when he left that she looked down at her body. At least the man had the mind to care. He had not left any marks where they shouldn't be left. 

She then got ready to take a bath. Last night, she had learnt that ever since that time she ended up spending the night in this villa, Jiang Xingyu had been randomly buying and keeping clothes of her size—in case she spent another night.

There was everything she needed, including the shampoo she used, a new toothbrush, body cream and every clothing item including underwear. 

She checked out the bras and panties and frowned. As for how men always seemed to know the sizes of their girlfriends' bras and panties, heaven only knew.

Wait, did she just think of herself as his girlfriend? 

Shaking the thought off, she took a bath and changed into a sky blue dress. 

She then went to the kitchen, where the bare-chested Jiang Xingyu was holding a spatula and preparing breakfast with a serious expression. 

She smiled and almost drooled as she watched his upper back muscles bulge and relax with each of his actions. No matter how this breakfast tasted, she would enjoy it after watching such a seductive man cook it.

He felt some movement behind him and turned. Luna quickly stopped staring and sat on a stool behind the kitchen island. 

He smiled charmingly and resumed cooking. When he was done, he went upstairs and grabbed a shirt. His lips twitched when he caught her disappointment after seeing him all covered up. But that did not stop her from secretly admiring his collar bones through the unbuttoned top section of the shirt. 

He served their breakfast and sat down beside her. Since they were both famished, they dug in.
