"What if I tell you that I was trying to kiss you?"
Yu Chen's gaze on Luo Xiaolei was extremely intense. Emotions were silently overflowing in his eyes as the rhythm of his chest became more and more disarrayed.
His watchful eyes were like magnifying glasses vigilantly observing her every expression. He could see her eyes widened in utter disbelief and then, all of a sudden, she gasped.
She covered her mouth with her palm as she spoke in a bewildered tone. "R-really? Y-you… you were trying to kiss me?!"
Yu Chen was again, surprised and at the same time confused by Luo Xiaolei's another unexpected reaction. Why was she reacting as though what she just heard was a certain shocking good news?! Wasn't she supposed to be mad?
"Y-you are not mad?" he asked.
Luo Xiaolei slowly rose. She sat up, facing him. The disbelief in her eyes also slowly faded.
And then, abruptly, she stretched her hands and pinched his cheeks hard.
