She shook out the robe, standing on tiptoe to drape it over him, her hands inadvertently pressing on his shoulders. Looking up, she met his pitch-black eyes.
Tao Yu froze, staring into his eyes, suddenly realizing all her previous words might not have been believed at all.
It seemed talking wouldn’t work. She needed to do something to prove herself. Staring blankly at Yue Linze’s face, she inexplicably kissed his thin lips.
Passive and active are different. When passive, she was only concerned with preserving her chastity, her mind in such panic that she couldn’t focus. But now, turning the tables and becoming the aggressor is different. Because the one being teased is quite compliant, and she is focused enough that when she touches his lips, all her attention is on his mouth.
Just moments ago, she hadn’t noticed that his seemingly cold lips were actually soft, warm when kissed, more temperature than his overall demeanor suggested.
Although it was just a pure lip-to-lip contact, the kiss seemed to last a bit too long, long enough that Tao Yu’s tiptoed feet were starting to ache.
She had expected him to respond immediately, but after waiting for a long time, he stood coldly in place. For a moment, Tao Yu doubted whether she had misjudged and if he was actually not interested in her at all. She awkwardly stepped back two steps, mumbling, “Sorry, sorry.”
“What are you doing?” Yue Linze finally spoke, looking at her flushed face.
Tao Yu’s face turned red, her gaze darting around. Although this was a premeditated intimate contact, when he questioned her, she still wanted to find a crack in the ground to disappear into.
She didn’t answer his question, and he didn’t ask again. They stood silent, a step apart.
Tao Yu’s gaze wandered, noticing his robe’s belt was undone. She paused for a moment.
After a while, she couldn’t help but reach toward his waist, quickly tying the belt and then glancing at him with a half-serious complaint: “Isn’t this your fault? If you hadn’t provoked me, I would never have dared to even think about this. But today, you suddenly got all touchy-feely with me, so I…”
“So what?” Seeing her trail off, Yue Linze narrowed his eyes and asked.
