He Met Her!

In her presence, he found himself utterly powerless. She was like a seductive poison, and because of her allure, he yearned to take possession of her completely.

Lin Wan gazed at Xiao Yichen's retreating figure until it vanished. She then composed herself, adjusted her clothing, and rejoined Katie and Sally at the dining table.

Lin Wan offered a brief explanation for her prolonged absence, and the trio settled the bill before departing the restaurant.

Upon reaching home, Lin Wan found the living room deserted, and her assumption that her mother had already retired for the night proved correct. After a refreshing shower, she lay on the bed, wrapped in blankets. Sleep eluded her for an extended period, her mind consumed by memories of Xiao Yichen's face and the familiar sensation of his kiss.

Once, even the slightest embrace from him would set her heart pounding uncontrollably. Yet, now, that heartbeat was absent. It had vanished, never to return.
