The two of them fooled around till almost noon. Lu Xiaojiu was sticky all over, having not cleaned up after last night's revelry. Normally cold and restrained Lu Bai turned into a clingy Little Fairy, insisting they shower together. Lu Xiaojiu refused; the mask would only stay on for two days max. If she didn't adjust it, her disguise would fall apart. She certainly didn't want her cover blown.
Lu Bai tilted his head up, "Then give me a kiss, and I'll let you go."
"Careful not to die from exhaustion," Lu Xiaojiu said. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a French kiss. Lu Bai held her to prolong the French kiss and asked, "Am I great?"
"Great, great, great, you're the best."
Lu Bai's nose gently brushed against hers. The atmosphere between them was tooth-achingly sweet. Lu Xiaojiu was surprised to find that with the mask on, ceasing to be Lu Xiaojiu, she could comfortably be close with Lu Bai.
She couldn't understand her own psychology.
