Quiet…
The girl’s face was flushed crimson. She averted her gaze, not looking at him.
“Countless moments of a pounding heart?” He smiled even more, seeming to relish toying with her emotions.
Patiently, without haste, he guided her to express her affection for him.
“I was just talking nonsense…”
She offered a weak defense, her heart beating even faster. In the few seconds of silence in the air, she could clearly hear the pounding.
“Is that so?” He leaned closer, his gaze searching for her eyes.
Their breaths intertwined, igniting invisible sparks of intense intimacy.
The laurel scent from him clung to her skin, mixing with the scent of camellia from her, creating a peculiar fragrance.
He had become much more covetous recently.
At first, he had only wanted to meet her, to gradually win her over.
But her wild provocation had disrupted all his plans, and also fueled his desire for her.
He wanted her to move in with him, to kiss her every day.
He wanted her to be his girlfriend, to let her act spoiled towards him.
He wanted her to accept all his kindness, to become the most trusted support she had.
…
Everything he wished for, she had fulfilled, step by step.
Yet, he still wanted more.
Even though Su Yue had clearly featured him on her account, accompanied by such touching words.
He still wanted to hear her say it herself: I like you.
It turned out that one could also be greedy for the person they liked.
And all these countless desires ultimately boiled down to the word ‘like’.
She remained silent, and he didn’t rush. With a smile, he leaned in to kiss her lips.
His kiss, laced with temptation, could easily stir her heart.
The kiss deepened.
The kiss became more captivating.
As their passion intensified, he pressed against her. Through the thin fabric of her clothes, he could feel the heat of her body.
It was time to ask her for that declaration of affection.
They parted. He looked at her dazed eyes, intoxicatingly beautiful.
Su Yue was completely dazed by his kiss.
He was truly, exceptionally skilled at kissing.
With just a touch of his lips to hers, he could soften her entire body, even paralyzing her mind.
“Hmm?”
As she savored the moment, she felt the man’s departure, carrying a hint of minty coolness and scent.
Instinctively, she let out a soft hum, a sound of confusion, perhaps even displeasure.
“Do you want another kiss?” His voice was husky. Her vision was blurry, only able to vaguely make out the smile on his face.
“Mm.” Her brain had ceased to function; her body’s instincts were answering.
She even tilted her chin forward slightly, seeking his lips.
“My baby hasn’t answered my question yet.” He dodged.
Seeing her knit her brows in confusion, he softly prompted:
“I asked, does my baby like me this much now?”
Another brief silence followed. She seemed to be struggling to comprehend his question.
Finally, the answer he longed to hear arrived.
“Mm, I like you.”
Her voice was soft, tinged with shyness and a desire to kiss him again.
“I couldn’t hear you.” His heart swelled with joy, but he deliberately coaxed her to say it again.
He couldn’t hear it enough.
“I said… I like you.” She no longer hesitated. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingers gently gripping his muscles.
She actively pulled him closer, intending to kiss him again.
But just as their lips were about to meet, the girl murmured:
“I like you a lot.”
I like you, a lot.
These were the words she wanted to say completely.
And these were the words he most wanted to hear.
The man’s lips curved into a triumphant smile. Finally at ease, he cast his rationality aside.
His past longing could only accumulate.
But now, there was no longer a need.
He would forever be lost in the sweetness of her life.
