Qin Zhiyou was taken aback when she abruptly leaned over, his pupils dilating in the split second their faces almost touched.
It was like a piece of coffee-flavored toffee, bitter-sweet, and with a tiny hint of sourness. Clearly, it was the feeling of letting down her guard and falling in love with him.
He could only be happier, more delighted, and at the same time, feel more gratified -- not long ago, although they got along well, he could sense that she was only slightly moved, but had not fully opened her heart yet. But now, she was finally willing to give herself to him!
If she hadn't taken the initiative, he might have, no matter if it meant "tricking" her or being assertively domineering, as long as he could leave a trace in her heart. But when he discovered that she was completely in love with him, he cherished this relationship more, like a farmer seeing a sprouted seedling, wishing to carefully nurture it so it would grow faster, take root, and sprout.
