Su Xu could not break free, she knew the disparity in strength between the two of them, so she changed her mind and coordinated with his movements, wrapping her hands around his neck to move forward and retreat.
She opened her mouth automatically, wanting to bite him who had barged in unexpectedly, but the man was very cunning, cleverly avoiding Su Xu's chase, the tip of his tongue coming and going between them, neither of them willing to compromise. Su Xu even absurdly felt that this seemed to be a contest between kissing experts, she was a little unprepared.
The man increased the force at her waist, while Su Xu increased the force of her fingers which had sunk into the back of his neck. As her lips moved, her chest gradually felt hot, as if time had stopped.
Su Xu felt an indescribable unease and restlessness being stirred up, and the breathing beside her ears became heavier and heavier. This kiss was simply a disaster, exhausting both of their physical strength. Had it been 30 seconds? Perhaps, it was as if she had enmity with him for a longer period of time. She continuously demanded and exerted strength.
Finally, when he finished using his last breath, he let go of her and everyone in the hall started boiling.
In a moment of absent-mindedness, Su Xu had pushed him away heavily, but he did not seem to be angry, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
She didn't know how she could have competed with this man, compared to kissing, damn it.
When he looked up again, those deep blue eyes were unfathomable, they glittered with a faint hint of danger, like a wild beast patrolling the night. In that instant, in his eyes, Su Xu saw a desire that she shouldn't have — a desire.
She jumped.
The host ran over and shouted, "Oh my god! It was actually a kissing show. Everyone knew how many seconds it was, one minute and forty seconds! It was the most exciting show so far. It was the most intense show. Oh god, oh god, the more kissing shows in the future the better. I really want to see you kiss again! This is too exciting! "
She walked down the stage without a word, ignoring the hooting of the hostess and the gaze of the crazy man. A minute and forty seconds, it was like a farce to be out of breath with a stranger.
No matter what, Su Xu still felt embarrassed, especially when she remembered that her master was watching from the sidelines.
Li Lin clapped her hands and sighed, "Su Xu, it's so exciting, so awesome!"
Su Xu grinned, and said with a half-dead smile, "Master, I want to go back now, it's too late." She happened to meet his eyes, and immediately averted her gaze, masking the strangeness of the kiss.
"Sorry? "Hur hur, alright, we'll send you off." Li Lin said with a smile.
"No, I can do it myself. I have something on my mind." She shook her head. "See you later, masters."
"Be careful on the road, Little Xu."
"Be careful, Su Xu."
Song Zishui and Li Lin spoke at the same time. Su Xu joked, "Master, you two really have a tacit understanding." The two of them looked at each other and laughed. For once, they did not confront each other again.
Su Xu looked at Bai Mo, he smiled faintly and said, "See you later."
She nodded, then turned and walked away, away from the bustling bar, reaching for a taxi.
Along the way, Su Xu couldn't help but think of that man, that scene of kissing. Before the age of twenty, she and her mother were busy with their livelihood; after the age of twenty, she followed Tang Ling's instructions and spent her days learning how to run a shopping mall.
This was her first kiss. Heh, she laughed, her first kiss, what a strange word to use on her.
Su Xu put her head against the window, absentmindedly looking at the neon lights of the night, gorgeous, brilliant, dazzling beauty.
A red light lit up, and the car slowly followed the long line in front of them. Both sides of the road were filled with a bustling crowd, causing her to suddenly feel a little depressed.
The shops seemed to be bustling with light all the time, welcoming the men and women coming and going with them.
Su Xu casually glanced through the darkness of the night and stopped at a cake shop on the opposite side of the street. The window was clean and transparent, and although it was not very eye-catching under the night sky, Su Xu was able to see it with a single glance.
"I'll get off here." She paid him to get out of the car, walked around the traffic, and headed toward the place where her gaze stopped.
As soon as he entered, he could smell the fragrant scent of milk wafting in the air. Business in the restaurant was very good, and people constantly went in and out of the restaurant. Su Xu leaned down and looked at all kinds of small cakes in the freezer.
"Hello, which one do you need?" the waitress asked softly.
The waiter took out the cake and placed it on the table by the window that she had designated. She handed over the money and then sat down.
The delicate plate, the small fork, the sparkling cake, the quiet table waiting for its owner.
Su Xu only looked at it, not eating it. Then, she forced a smile.
Why would she want to buy this, she asked herself, and she didn't like butter because it was her birthday — a birthday without company, she should have gotten used to it, shouldn't she?
She finally understood what the uneasiness in her heart was when she kissed the man. That peculiar restlessness was called … loneliness.
No one remembered the day she was born. She was always alone, and her experiences when she was young prevented her from opening her heart easily and from talking to others. Even when she faced Tang Ling, Bai Mo, Song Zhishui, and Li Lin, she still kept her guard up and never talked about her personal matters.
Su Xu picked up a fork and cut off a small piece, which she put into her mouth. She frowned and swallowed, then cut off another piece, swallowed, frowned, then cut off again, frowned, swallowed …
Finally, she dropped her fork. "Ding," she said, and the sound of the fork colliding with the table. There was still more than half of the cake left on the plate.
"What's the point of this, Su Xu?" She murmured to herself, "Why do you make yourself so miserable?"
She took a sip of her tea, washed the milk off her lips and teeth, then picked up her bag and left.
Outside the store, the street was as lively as ever. The cool breeze brushed against her face, and Su Xu prepared to leave. She had only taken a few steps when her car, which had been parked by the side of the road, suddenly honked.
She looked over her shoulder. It was a black Volvo, and before I could get close enough to admire it, the door had slid open.
A man walked out of the car, like a wild animal in the dark night.
Whispers of surprise rang out, and the eyes of many girls passing by were glued to the man's body.
He had heroic eyebrows, deep blue eyes, a straight nose, and thin, sculpted lips. With such a mixed bloods face, Su Xu unconsciously thought of the person in the Immortal Trail dance hall. Aside from that feather mask, the rest of his body and aura were exactly the same. The two gradually merged into one.
Su Xu froze, because the man was walking straight towards her. He had a pair of shining eyes that made people unable to directly look at him, and at this moment, he was staring straight into Su Xu's eyes, saying their first conversation: "I've been friends with you for a minute and forty seconds."
That kiss, a minute and forty seconds.
"I remember." Su Xu said.
The man took another step closer towards her, just a little bit short of being on Su Xiao's body. She did not retreat, but silently waited for the man's next step.
"Do you want to come with me?"
The man lowered his head and whispered into her ear, his warm lips carelessly or intentionally rubbing against her neck.
