Just as the four lips were about to touch, a sudden urgent ringtone burst from Gu Kai's pocket.
In this quiet and ambiguous deep night, it was exceptionally clear.
Gu Kai's movements halted, the deep heat in his eyes dissipating like a cloud of mist in an instant.
The ringing startled Bai Yiyi, causing her heartbeat to pause for half a second, and in panic, she pushed Gu Kai away.
At the disturbance of the ringtone, the hand he had placed around her waist loosened its grip.
With that push, Bai Yiyi managed to push him away as she wished.
The originally subtle atmosphere turned awkward due to this untimely phone call.
Seeing the water and noodles boiling in the pot beside her, Bai Yiyi couldn't possibly turn around and leave at this moment. She pursed her lips, added some cold water to the pot, and took another pair of chopsticks to stir the noodles.
Gu Kai glanced at her, then stepped out of the kitchen to take the call in the living room outside.
