The night breeze brushed against their cheeks.
The shadows of the trees danced in the moonlight and stars twinkled in the night sky. He Jiayus eyes reminded her of falling stars.
That pair of stars flickered, then turned as resplendent as fireworks when he smiled.
Su Xiaomo was either astonished by his words or infatuated by his face. She simply stared at He Jiayu in amazement.
He Jiayu had shifted her from his shoulder and was now holding her in his arms. His big hands felt unbelievably hot on her waist and seemed to burn her skin.
Su Xiaomo jumped out of his arms in a flurry and stumbled back.
He Jiayu walked toward her at an unhurried pace.
Thump
Su Xiaomos back bumped into his car. She turned left hastily, but He Jiayu blocked her way by putting an arm on the car window. She then turned right, but was stopped by He Jiayus other arm.
She was practically wrapped in He Jiayus arms, and the refreshing minty scent of him filled her nose. He Jiayu smiled and asked gently, Fairy Momo, why are you running away from me?
I Im not. Su Xiaomo struggled to keep her composure. Im not going to fall for you just because youve turned into a sweet talker! Hmph! I bet youve used that on a hundred girls! Youre so experienced!
He Jiayu smiled, then brushed her hair away from her face. Are you jealous?
Even the skin behind Su Xiaomos ears turned pink. Why should I be Its not like I like you!
He Jiayu suddenly moved closer until his body touched hers. Su Xiaomo could even hear his steady heartbeat.
You disingenuous woman. He Jiayu smiled after a moment. Do you know what your pulse rate was for the past minute?
Su Xiaomo was baffled. It only occurred to her then that he had been taking her pulse with his fingers on her wrist while feeling her heartbeat with his own chest
You bastard! Su Xiaomo bit her lip, then drew in a painful breath.
She had forgotten that her lips were swollen from that kiss
He Jiayu gazed at her apologetically. He then bent down and gently traced her lips with his tongue. His movements were unbelievably tender
Su Xiaomo went stiff and could only stare at He Jiayu as if she was in a trance.
They were so close that she could see He Jiayus long, thick eyelashes, which cast shadows on his face.
He kept his eyes closed until the kiss was over. He then whispered in Su Xiaomos ear in a teasing tone, I see that you like to kiss with your eyes open
Hm
Su Xiaomo couldnt help but punch him in the stomach.
He Jiayu fell to the ground with a thump and even coughed weakly.
Su Xiaomo went to help him up in a fright. Hey, are you alright?
He Jiayu looked like he was going to faint. Momo youre as strong as evercough, cough
OMG!
Had she hit him too hard?
God! She hadnt given He Jiayu internal bleeding, had she?
Ill take you to the hospital! Su Xiaomo helped him to his feet. He Jiayu blinked, then said in a pitiful voice, You dont have to do that I know you dont like me that way, or you wouldnt have hit me so hard Dont worry, I can manage it myself. I have insurance and Ill cover the bill myself. Bye bye.
He turned to leave, and from behind, he looked fragile enough to be blown over by the lightest wind.
Su Xiaomo panicked and ran after him. Cutie He, dont say that. I didnt mean it
He Jiayu turned around and asked feebly, Do you like me, then?
