Fang Yi suddenly pulled Xia Ziqi into his arms in an unexpected movement that caught them both off guard.
In fact, both were already drenched, yet this close contact brought a sense of warmth. Xia Ziqi’s delicate body instinctively trembled from the cold, but now it was no longer trembling; it was tense.
They had never... never been this close before.
At this moment, Xia Ziqi’s heart was pounding fiercely.
This feeling... it was only present during a first love.
However, Xia Ziqi was trying hard to control herself, not to let herself sink into this.
"You... you let me go..." Xia Ziqi said in panic, trying to struggle.
"Ziqi," Fang Yi looked at her, his eyes filled with deep emotion.
"You... you let me go... or else I... I will get angry..." Xia Ziqi’s initially pale face was now quietly flushed with hues of red, like the sunset glow, beautifully radiant.
"I won’t let go," Fang Yi said domineeringly yet calmly, "I’m afraid if I let go, you’ll run away."
Xia Ziqi said subconsciously, "Why would I run..."
Fang Yi shook his head, "You should know my feelings very well."
Seeing no hope of escape, Xia Ziqi slightly lowered her head, biting her lower lip, "I... I don’t understand."
Fang Yi suddenly smiled, "If you don’t understand, then let me make you understand."
Xia Ziqi’s heart skipped a beat, her beautiful eyes widened, as if sensing something.
Immediately, Xia Ziqi felt as if she couldn’t breathe, as if suffocating, all strength leaving her body.
At this point, the two of them achieved a true breakthrough.
To say that Fang Yi was not thrilled at this moment would be a lie.
There’s a principle that sometimes, when dealing with a woman who won’t listen to explanations, a fatal kiss is the best approach. Even if the woman is tough, no matter how cold she is, as long as she doesn’t dislike you, she won’t resist.
Inside the pavilion, it seemed lively with passion, but looking outside at the pavilion, the thunderstorm continued, with raindrops the size of thumbs pouring relentlessly.
With the heavy rain and fierce winds outside, while inside the pavilion was filled with warmth.
Finally, the kiss broke.
"You... you..." Xia Ziqi was mortified to death, wishing she could crawl into a hole.
Fang Yi chuckled, "Now you’re mine; even if you get angry, it won’t matter."
Xia Ziqi’s cheeks were flushed red, she scolded softly, "You... you scoundrel!"
Fang Yi laughed heartily, "If I wasn’t bad, I would have missed you, so I need to be even worse to you in the future."
Xia Ziqi glared at him with her beautiful eyes, very angry, but Fang Yi, already understanding her feelings, showed no remorse.
"You... let me go, I have something to say," Xia Ziqi said, biting her lip.
"You..." Xia Ziqi glared at him fiercely again.
Not wanting to overdo it, Fang Yi then carried her to the bench in the pavilion and sat down.
"Alright, speak," Fang Yi said with a smile on his face.
Looking at the rascal before her, Xia Ziqi knew she was beyond help, took a deep breath, and said, "Do you... do you really... like me?"
Fang Yi shook his head, "No."
Xia Ziqi was shocked.
However, the next moment, Fang Yi smiled slightly, "It’s not like, it’s love."
