His kiss harbored no trace of desire but was laden with deep emotions. In the darkness, he no longer needed to forcefully suppress himself.
He gently captured Ling Chuxia’s lips, cautiously savoring her sweet taste, barely daring to exert any force.
Though he restrained himself, Ling Chuxia appeared still to be disturbed. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her long, curled eyelashes trembled, and she began to stir from her slumber.
Shi Che was lost in the kiss, not realizing immediately that Ling Chuxia was awakening. When he involuntarily thought about deepening the kiss, he noticed Ling Chuxia’s eyes slightly open, causing his whole body to stiffen instantly.
He hadn’t anticipated that Ling Chuxia would wake up. His mind went blank, and he had no reaction, just frozen, holding Ling Chuxia in a dazed state.
Ling Chuxia, too, was hazily awakened by the disturbance, unaware of Shi Che’s kiss. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw herself lying in Shi Che’s embrace, his dark, deep eyes close at hand, seemingly suppressing some emotion.
Initially still groggy, Ling Chuxia immediately became fully alert at the sight, making her eyes widen in surprise.
Hadn’t she been sleeping on her own side of the bed? Hadn’t she been sleeping properly? When did she end up in Shi Che’s arms?
Could it be... her old habit of sleeping restlessly had acted up again? So, she rolled over into Shi Che’s arms unknowingly?
Ling Chuxia trembled involuntarily, horrified. How could she make such a mistake, especially knowing Shi Che was in a bad mood tonight?
Ling Chuxia could hardly dare to look up into Shi Che’s eyes. She swallowed hard, clutching her hands tightly, thinking that it was wiser to roll out while Shi Che hadn’t lashed out yet.
But just as she resolved to shift away from his embrace, she paused abruptly.
She had not thrown herself at Shi Che earlier because it was unavoidable since she felt he would have pushed her away before she even got close enough. However, now that she was already in his arms, if she didn’t seize this opportunity, it might just slip away.
Ling Chuxia’s eyes were filled with a complex expression, struggling immensely internally. Should she take the chance to throw herself at him?
However, before she could decide, she already felt Shi Che slowly pushing her away. Once pushed away, she would have completely lost her chance.
Instantly, Ling Chuxia’s mind went blank, not thinking of anything else, only going by instinct, she wrapped her arms around Shi Che’s neck and leaned up to kiss him.
