Fu Siyu glanced at her, seemingly knowing what she was thinking.
His gaze flickered slightly as he leaned forward, "Shu Wan, what are you thinking?"
The room was already warm, and as Fu Siyu moved closer, his sandalwood scent immediately enveloped her.
Shu Wan’s thoughts momentarily short-circuited, and she instinctively answered Fu Siyu’s question, "Don’t you think it’s like an indirect kiss?"
After Shu Wan spoke, a soft laugh suddenly came from above her head.
She looked up, meeting Fu Siyu’s deep eyes. They were so close that Shu Wan could count Fu Siyu’s eyelashes.
The light poured down from above, somewhat dazzling, but it couldn’t hide the smile in Fu Siyu’s eyes.
He looked into Shu Wan’s eyes, seductively asking, "Would you like to try it?"
Shu Wan’s heart tightened, "Try what?"
Fu Siyu slightly lowered his head, whispering into Shu Wan’s ear, "Try it, not indirectly?"
Fu Siyu’s voice was very soft, yet it ignited a cluster of fireworks next to Shu Wan’s ear, the explosive sound traveling from her ear to her mind, stunning her thoughts momentarily.
Shu Wan’s hand instinctively shrunk back, and she lowered her eyes, not responding to Fu Siyu.
But Fu Siyu knew her too well now.
He knew that Shu Wan had a strong curiosity in her bones.
Now that she had stepped into their increasingly intimate relationship, Shu Wan was curious about everything she hadn’t touched.
Shu Wan remained silent, and Fu Siyu patiently waited.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Shu Wan looked up, her eyes bright, "Then close your eyes."
Fu Siyu was momentarily stunned, then realized that Shu Wan wanted to take the initiative.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise but then thought that this seemed like something Shu Wan would indeed do.
He chuckled, nodding, and then closed his eyes.
Fu Siyu sat quietly, his handsome features sculpted like a fine statue, his lips slightly curved. Under the intermingling lights, there was an allure different from his usual temperament.
Now it was Shu Wan’s turn to feel at a loss.
She had never tried this before, which is why Fu Siyu had stirred her curiosity.
Shu Wan could only recall the television dramas and movies she had seen; she stood up and moved toward Fu Siyu.
When she was mere centimeters from Fu Siyu, Shu Wan suddenly calmed down.
Her gaze fell on Fu Siyu’s perfectly shaped lips, and a belated shyness surged within her.
Instinctively, Shu Wan was about to retreat.
At that moment, the lights suddenly went out, and the room plunged into darkness, leaving only a faint outline of Fu Siyu.
Just as Shu Wan was about to speak, someone grabbed her wrist.
Shu Wan followed the inertia forward, falling into a warm embrace, under her palm, a familiar, vigorous heartbeat.
"I knew you were scared, so I turned off the lights. Does this make it better?"
It wasn’t better at all. Previously, with the lights on, everything was within Shu Wan’s control; now in the darkness, Fu Siyu’s presence enveloped her, making Shu Wan even more nervous.
Yet Fu Siyu teased her with his words, stirring up Shu Wan’s competitive spirit, "When was I ever scared?"
"Oh, then, go ahead."
In the darkness, it was impossible to see Fu Siyu’s expression, but the amusement in his tone was far too evident.
Shu Wan pursed her lips, steeling herself, and directly lifted her head, pressing a kiss onto the corner of Fu Siyu’s lips.
By now, Shu Wan’s eyes had adjusted to the darkness. Utilizing the light from the fireplace, she could see the faint outline.
So, she had accurately aimed for the corner of Fu Siyu’s lips.
Shu Wan planned to retreat right after the kiss, but unexpectedly, Fu Siyu suddenly tilted his head.
Shu Wan felt a soft sensation, and then an iron arm crossed around her waist, pressing her closer to Fu Siyu.
