Almost immediately, she turned to face him, her eyes still wide open. “So cute.” He laughed and lowered his head for a kiss.
“Ugh…” Xu Xianen thought, feeling a bit dizzy. She had already given in, yet he still wanted more.
“Hehehe, no more fooling around, I want to get back to the modern era quickly and then marry you as soon as possible,” Zhiben teased, reluctantly pecking her a few times.
She blushed and glared at him, moving away to stand up. “Stop talking nonsense! I’m not going to marry you!”
“Who taught you to occupy my convenience every night and not admit it? Hurry up and say you like me,” Zhiben turned around, demanding an answer.
He stared at her, giving her no chance to breathe.
“I won’t,” she said, turning her head away, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Why should she say it so clearly? She had already let him kiss her, let him embrace her, wasn’t that enough?
“Why not?” He grabbed her hand, “Today, you must tell me, what am I to you?”
Her face turned completely red, with no defense. “What do you think… what do you think you are?”
“Shouldn’t it be you who decides what I am? My intentions are so clear, don’t you know?” Zhiben kissed her cheek. “We’ve been playing this game for so long, neither of us has ever tired of it, but after what happened at Chong San, I don’t want this anymore. This kind of game isn’t for me, I want real, straightforward love.”
With each sentence, her face grew redder, her heart stirred by his words. For some reason, every time he spoke, her heart would skip a beat, feeling as if something was pressing against her chest, making it hard to breathe.
“Zhi… Zhiben…” she murmured his name.
At that moment, he was no longer just a high school boy to her, but a real man.
“Bang!”
He pressed his lips against hers, their bodies entwined, their breaths merging in the heat of the moment. Xu Xianen’s mind was nearly out of oxygen, relying on his breath to sense the outside world…
Suddenly, he stopped, his lips slightly parted from hers, close yet distant.
Xu Xianen furrowed her brows, “Zhiben…”
She moved closer, but he dodged away.
