The two of them left the amusement park and Alex drove over to a street where there was a lot of restaurant and cafes around. A while ago, they have come over to this street and Alex had bought her to a Western restaurant. At that time, they ran into Alex's partners, Daniel, and Carina.

This time, the two did not make any reservation and instead, chose to walk around and find a place that they think would be a good place to eat. After a while, they decided to enter a cafe. The atmosphere looks good and it was not as crowded as other places.

Once they entered, the waiter ushered them to a corner and jotted down their order.

As the waiter left, Hazel took out her phone and checked on her phone. 

Earlier, she had posted a few pictures of her and Alex having fun at the amusement park. Seeing their comments under her pictures, Hazel finally realized that she had unintentionally revealed to everyone that she was dating Alex. 

Ellie: Sister, are you dating my brother?"

Her gaze stopped at the comment and Hazel suddenly forgot how to breathe. Scrolling at the list of people who had liked her photos, Hazel saw that even Auntie Lily had liked the pictures.

At the thought that Alex's family was aware of their relationship, Hazel was suddenly shy.

Of course, Alex would notice the change in her expression. "What's wrong?"

Hazel looked up and bit at her lips. "No. I just realized something. I… made a mistake." Hazel turned the phone to Alex and showed him its contents.

Alex saw the post that Hazel had shown to him and smiled. "Why is it a mistake. Hazel, could it be that you don't want others to know about our relationship?"

"No. That's not what I meant. I just… did not expect that your mother would know about it too." Hazel covered her face with both hands. "Suddenly, I did not know how to face Auntie Lily again."

Alex laughed softly. "My mother and Auntie Edith are best friends. Even if you did not post that photos, did you think that the two of them would not discuss us?"

Hazel thought about it and found that it was indeed true. Since she had told Auntie Edith about it, surely, Auntie Lily would know about it as well. Moreover… she did not tell Auntie Edith that she could not tell anyone.

"Then… what did your parents say? They don't mind?"

"Why would they mind?" Alex looked at the woman in front of him, amused. "Hazel, my mother loves you. If it was up to her, she would want you to be her daughter-in-law as soon as possible."

Hazel was momentarily stunned. Her pink cheek turned into a darker shade of red. "What daughter-in-law?"

Alex's expression turned serious. "Hazel, I dated you intend to marry you. Did you perhaps… did not share this thought?"

"But we… had just started to date."

"For others, they used this dating period to get to know each other and their families well. However, we have known each other for a long time. You know my family and I know yours. Our families are very close."

"But I haven't thought about this matter. I don't think that I'm ready for it."

"I didn't say that we should get married right away." Alex flashed her an assuring smile. "I will wait whenever you are ready for it."

"I—I will think about it."

Alex heard her answer and his heart was all warm inside. He was going to hand Hazel her phone back when he noticed a new comment under the post.

Uncle Neil: Hazel, are you dating?

Seeing the name that suddenly popped up, Alex almost dropped the phone. 

He had just mentioned marriage to Hazel and suddenly, her scary uncle had appeared. 

Fortunately, he was quick to compose himself and had tightened her grip on the phone before it would fall.

…

After walking around for a while longer, Alex finally sent Hazel back to her dormitory. The sky had turned dark and Alex wanted to let Hazel rest after playing around all day.

Alex parked his car at a dark corner under the tree and helped Hazel with the door. 

"Wait here," Alex said before he walked over to the trunk.

Hazel followed him with her gaze and watched as Alex came back with a bouquet. Her eyes widened and Hazel was a little surprised to see the bouquet of pink flowers.

"For you."

Hazel took the flowers from Alex and lowered her head to inhale the fragrant flower. Then, she looked at Alex again with a smile on her face. "Why did you buy these flowers?"

"To woo my girlfriend." His lips stretched up upon seeing the shy look on her face.

Hazel tucked a few loose strands behind her ears. "When did you buy them?"

"A while ago, when you went away to the restroom."

Hazel held the bouquet tighter and could not stop inhaling the fragrant flowers. This was the first time that someone else other than her uncle had given her a bouquet and she was happy to the point that she could not stop smiling. 

A thought came to her mind and Hazel felt a little giddy. Seeing that Alex had turned his head in another direction, Hazel stood up tiptoed and aimed her lips to his cheek.

However, Alex turned his head at this time.

Instead of kissing his cheek, their lips met for a peck. When she realized what was going on, Hazel swiftly took a step back. She lowered her gaze and her face was a little flustered.

"I—I'm sorry. It was an accident." Hazel glanced at his face and saw that he did have any reaction. She bit at her lips and spoke again, "I should go now. Good night, Alex."

"Hazel."

Before Hazel could turn around, Alex had tugged at her arms, forcing her to face him. Suddenly, his lips were pressed against hers again.

Hazel felt her heart pounded. This time, it was no longer a brief touch. The sensation sent firework inside her brain and Hazel felt a little dizzy. Hazel found that she did not know what she should do and froze on spot.

This was the first time that Alex had kissed anyone and he too was a little clueless at what he should do. The moment his lips touched her soft and delicious lips, Alex grew anxious. 

The two of them stood in this stiff and awkward position until Alex finally tried to move. However, due to their inexperience, their nose and forehead bumped into each other. With the slight pain, Alex had no other choice but to pull away. Seeing that Hazel was uninjured, his gaze went back to her lips and he pondered whether he should go and kiss her again.

Hazel thought that her head might explode anytime. Seeing the way Alex was looking at her, made her breathless.. Hazel gripped the bouquet in her hand tightly and quickly made her escape.
