236 A different Jin (2)

Jin's closeness came so suddenly that Shui's breaths got out of sync. Now that she had admitted to herself that she liked Jin, she was even more conscious around him, especially when the distance between them would be so narrow like what they had now.

She inhaled to calm herself and looked up at him. His deep black eyes were staring right back at her with concentration but also with an indecipherable emotion. "What?" Her question was more of a whisper.

"Would you not like it if I like Zhou Ai?" Jin repeated.

Shui stiffened, and the discomfort in her eyes was discernible but only for a few moments. "Why…why are you asking me that?"

Jin bent closer to the point that she could smell his scent and feel his breaths on her forehead. She was noticeably trembling, which she was trying her best to stop.
