A few dim yellow lights glowed from above and to the side, their light shifting across the man's refined face. Xu Si's heartbeat gradually quickened.
In the hazy light and shadows, she saw helpless sadness in his ash-gray eyes. Then, the scene before her slowly blurred, obscured by a watery haze, the only clear detail the faint red mole on the bridge of his nose.
It was too glaring.
Xu Si simply let him kiss her and closed her eyes.
This was the second time he had told her he loved her.
Yet Xu Si couldn't respond with the same firm conviction she had with Jarvis: "See me clearly first, then tell me you love me."
She wanted to get closer too, didn't she? She must have.
Pushing aside the slight awkwardness in her heart, Xu Si extended her slender arms, slowly wrapping them around his neck, and began to return his kiss, a hint of intoxication in her movements.
A feeling of breathlessness followed.
She had no intention of pushing him away.
