Barely after a word escaped from her mouth, the young man seated next to her suddenly stretched his hand forward and locked the back of her head in place.

Her body froze in place. Before she could realize what was happening, a shadow had already covered her face, and a warm and soft sensation came into contact with her lips.

The unique refreshing fragrance the young man exuded swiftly overwhelmed all of her senses. Staring his beautiful eyebrows and eyes in close quarters, her eyes gradually widened to their brim.

Two seconds later, a numbing sensation swiftly crept from her lips into her heart.

As if struck by lightning, her body jolted. Subconsciously, she attempted to flee.

But as if sensing her intention, the palm at the back of her head locked her in place with even greater force.

Unable to move or escape, she could maintain her current position in a daze.

The suite was extremely noisy. There were shocked exclamations, shrill screams, hushed discussions, and astonished gasps…

But in this very moment, the world was completely silent to Shi Yao, as if all sounds had faded from existence.

Her eyes were wide open, but the sight before her gradually blurred, to the point where she eventually couldn’t see anything at all.

She had no idea how long this continued for. Perhaps it was a short moment, perhaps it was an eternity, but his lips finally left hers.

She remained frozen in the same position, staring at him in a daze.

It was as if her mind had melted into goo, rendering her incapable of thinking or processing what she’d just experienced a moment ago.

Vaguely, she saw his lips moving.

And then, the many voices in the suite suddenly struck her all at once.

Blinking her eyes blankly, she tried to hear what they were saying. But despite her efforts, she only managed to hear his words. “I’m tired, I’ll be leaving first. You all carry on.”

As he spoke, Lin Jiage stood up, grabbed his jacket, and put it on.

“Brother Jia, you’re leaving so soon? Why don’t you play with us for a bit longer?”

“Yeah, it’s still early…”

Lin Jiage ignored the voices that were trying to persuade him. After putting on his jacket, he shot a glance at Shi Yao and saw that she was still petrified on the spot, unresponsive to everything around her. Without giving it any thought, he placed his hand on her head and ruffled it slightly. “It’s time to leave. We’re going home.”

Shi Yao’s mind was still a train wreck, but she somehow managed to comprehend his words. She nodded stiffly before standing up with her bag in her embrace.

She saw Lin Jiage move, so she moved too.

Barely after taking a few steps toward the door of the suite, Lin Jiage suddenly stopped. As if a puppet controlled by him, Shi Yao stopped as well.

“Oh, I nearly forgot. Liang Jiusi, I brought the things you wanted…” Lin Jiage said as he reached into his pocket and took out a dining card ¹ . He tossed it toward Liang Jiusi, but instead of heading in its intended destination, it landed on the face of a woman around a meter away from Liang Jiusi.

Lin Jiage continued fumbling through his pocket as he apologized half-heartedly to the woman covering her face after being hit by the card, “Pardon me. It seems like I have accidentally hit your face.”

After saying those words, he fished out the keys to his dormitory room and threw it over as well.
