At least, when Yu Zexiao’s lips touched it, he didn’t find it disagreeable—on the contrary, there was a hint of sweet fragrance that enticed him to delve deeper, deeper...
He opened his eyes and saw her long eyelashes trembling lightly, concealing the limpid light beneath her eyes. It was like the morning dew trembling on the freshly bloomed flowers, evoking a desire not only to protect but also an irresistible urge to draw closer to savor that fragrant essence.
She had just had a drink, and so had he. A faint aroma of liquor lingered around the corners of their mouths. It wasn’t overpowering but just right to awaken that slightly restless element in each person’s heart!
Maybe it was the enchanting night, maybe it was the numbness brought on by alcohol, maybe it was from being overworked earlier, or perhaps, it was because the two had a history of close physical contact. Anyway, when Yu Zexiao leaned in to kiss her, Jian Anning was just slightly stunned, without struggle, and the two of them naturally started kissing.
In that moment, it seemed like all the noise around, the passage of time, and everything else simply didn’t exist. In front of her there was only him, in her eyes only him, by her lips only him, and in her alcohol-numbed brain, there was also, at that moment, only him!
The others in the crew, after a few seconds of shocked stillness, wore expressions of both surprise and astonishment, seemingly unable to believe what was happening!
And Lu Jiayuan, he was not only surprised but also furious for being upstaged, and there was... an indescribable feeling!
Although he had a vague sense that Yu Zexiao had special feelings for Jian Anning, witnessing their kiss was a deeply shocking experience!
As for Jiang Xuanqi, it was a mix of surprise, anger, and a hint of unwillingness, almost utterly unable to accept that this was reality!
And as for Ling Yichuan and the others, they were simply instigators of chaos. After the initial surprise, he immediately joined Leng Yunlin in teasing Yu Zexiao, "Hold on! Three minutes! If it’s less than three minutes, you’ll have to drink this whole bottle of liquor!"
Yu Zexiao really wanted to give them a sideways glare. He had just taken the initiative to kiss her, which was enough to save face for these guys. And now they demanded three minutes... He really felt like hitting someone!
However, he tried to suppress his irritation, his eyelashes quivering as if they just happened to touch hers. The fine, threadlike sensation, like a delicate current, set him ablaze in an instant!
Their noses brushed against each other, and that feeling of skin-to-skin contact was accentuated by the fact that Jian Anning was being gently pressed down on the couch by him, their bodies tightly pressed together. He could easily feel the soft curves of her body, and because she put up no resistance, he seemed to recall the night they had entwined together. It was as if everything had happened just yesterday. The gentle friction of their bodies in the dark night, that intoxicating sense of touch and sensory activation, all came flooding back at once!
