Chapter 112 - First Kiss (1)
His body was pressed against hers, and she could feel the outline of his thigh muscles.
Bei Nuan had never seen him make such a move. She was truly a bit frightened. "What are you doing?"
"We're done getting the medicine. I'm going to take my payment," Lu Xingchi said.
His tone was calm, but his gaze was dark and deep. He looked like a hunter who was about to take out the little rabbit that had accidentally fallen into his trap, skin it, chop it, and make soup with it.
The little rabbit showed her fear.
"What payment? Isn't ironing your clothes a good payment?" Bei Nuan tried her best to stick to the wall, wanting to keep a distance between them.
Lu Xingchi leaned closed, and the gap she had worked to create immediately disappeared.
"No," he coldly said, "I want something else."
He lowered his head without hesitation, found her lips, and kissed her.
His lips pressed against hers, and he dove right in. He was pressing her firmly against the wall. This was a possessive kiss without any consideration or leeway.
He was like a hunter that had nailed down his prey or like a robber that had forcefully carved out his exclusive territory. He had her surrounded, engulfed, and subdued. His breath was fresh and cold, but his actions were tough and unquestionable.
After a few more seconds, Lu Xingchi felt that Bei Nuan was unusually quiet and still, so he loosened his grip a bit.
Her normally pink lips were bright red from his torment, adding a splash of enchanting color to her incomparably pure face.
The unusually bright red made Lu Xingchi impulsive. He wanted to kiss her again.
But when he looked up from her lips, he saw that her expression wasn't right.
Her eyelashes were curled up, and she was looking at him with her clear eyes. Her gaze was pure and innocent like a newborn lamb that couldn't resist. There was also a bit of accusation and grievance in them.
No one could keep calm when faced with her gaze after doing such a bad thing to her.
Lu Xingchi's expression didn't change, but he felt uneasy. Based on his observations of her expressions and her subconscious movements, he thought she did like him a bit.
But, her current state didn't seem fake either.
For the first time in his life, he doubted his observation skills. Was he mistaken? Did she dislike him? Or was it…
"What's wrong? Did I kiss badly?" Lu Xingchi softened his voice to ask.
Bei Nuan pushed him away. She wanted to leave.
Lu Xingchi grabbed her arm. He once again trapped her in his arms and wouldn't let her go.
Hugging her, he lowered his forehead to touch hers. "What's wrong? Did you dislike the kiss that much? Do you dislike me?"
Bei Nuan answered, "That's not it."
Lu Xingchi sighed in relief, but she pressed her lips together and continued to say, "A first kiss shouldn't be like that."
Lu Xingchi was baffled. "Huh?"
He thought it over and refuted, "That's not our first kiss. We kissed in Jiangcheng's supermarket."
"That one didn't count." Bei Nuan's sentence erased that accidental kiss.
Lu Xingchi was a bit troubled. Hugging her, he humbly asked for advice, "Then what should a first kiss be like?"
Bei Nuan thought it over and finally said, "It should be in the afternoon, when the sunlight is particularly good, in a library-"
Lu Xingchi interrupted, "There's so many people in the library. Are you sure?"
"I'm imagining an empty library," Bei Nuan retorted.
"Okay, an empty library. Go on."
Bei Nuan tilted her head. "I'll be reading a book. The boy I like will approach me and lean over to ask what I'm reading…"
Lu Xingchi thought; there's dialogue lines???
"I'll show him the title," Bei Nuan continued to describe, "He'll lower his head, read the book with me, and then he'll turn my face towards his."
Such a sudden kiss?
Lu Xingchi didn't voice his thoughts. He hugged her together and continued to listen.
"And then he'll kiss me. A peck on the lips. No tongue." Bei Nuan frowned and retiereated angrily, "No tongue!"
Lu Xingchi pursed his lips and stared at her for a moment. Then, he suddenly walked out while holding her.
"Where are we going?" Bei Nuan was baffled.
Lu Xingchi answered, "Library."
