Unaware of the commotion that she had left behind, Hui Yin was currently sitting on the flat ceramic surface surrounding the sink of the women's restroom, playing Onmyoji.
Because the other diners were all busy eating, Hui Yin had the restroom all to herself.
Since no one would hear her anyway, Hui Yin didn't bother to be quiet.
"Shit! Too many hitotsume!"
"AHHHH!"
"You stupid, confused Onikiri!"
"No, I won't let you win!"
At the end, their team still lost. Looking at the word 'victory' on the screen, Hui Yin felt wronged.
As she went out of the restroom, she muttered in dissatisfaction, "Damn you, Shu..."
Hui Yin was about to say 'Shuten Doji', a Shikigami in the game, but the words dried up in her mouth as she stared at the man waiting for her outside the restroom.
"Shu...?" Lu Shen's voice was dangerously low. "Tell me, Xiao Yin, what was the name of the man you were texting in there? Shu-de? Shu-yen? What else are you not telling me, hmm?"
With each male name he suggested, Lu Shen took a step closer towards Hui Yin, trapping her between the wall and his unyielding body.
Like a predator that had caught its prey, he leaned one arm against the wall at her back and tilted his face close to hers.
That close, Hui Yin could clearly see in his eyes that his control had finally snapped.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Feeling guilty already?"
Lu Shen had an overpowering aura even when he was calm, but now that he was angry, Hui Yin slowly felt like she was suffocating. She could only keep her silence as she turned her head away, refusing to acknowledge him.
"Answer me!"
He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. Lu Shen stared at the girl's eyes, which were like two wide pools of limpid autumn water. Her face was pale, and her lips were trembling slightly.
Hui Yin wanted to cry.
She did nothing wrong, alright?! Was it really wrong of her to call out the name of a game avatar?
Now a real Shikigami had really come to kill her!
Lu Shen looked at her for a moment longer, before he leaned over and planted a kiss on those soft lips. As Hui Yin stood there unmoving, he opened her mouth and pushed deeper, twining their tongues together.
Hui Yin's legs had already been shaking from Lu Shen's sudden attack earlier, and she would have completely fallen from the shock of the kiss if Lu Shen had not reflexively held her waist to stabilize her.
This pushed their two bodies closer together, and Lu Shen's eyes darkened as his whole body was scorched with heat.
