Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Did you like that peach-flavored kiss just now?

Xie Xiao didn't rush her or move, maintaining his position with his profile turned towards her, his gaze fixed on her face the whole time.

The movie must have started by now, the upbeat music serving as their perfect background.

Luo Yanran felt her face uncontrollably heat up under his stare, her gaze flickered, seeking to move away, or perhaps to change the subject.

But Xie Xiao seemed to guess her thoughts and asked softly, "Ms. Luo won't go back on her word, will she?" Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Ms. Luo thought inwardly, That's exactly what I plan to do!

Unfortunately, with her thin skin, put on the spot like this, she really couldn't bring herself to renege on her word.

She looked at Xie Xiao again and whispered, "We're watching a movie..."

"Yes, but my intention wasn't to watch the movie, I just wanted to be alone with you," Xie Xiao said candidly, "even doing nothing, just being alone with you makes me happy."

The boy's voice was as clean as he was, and it carried a smile as he spoke.

The evasive thoughts Luo Yanran had initially came to a sudden halt.

Looking at his face, her heartbeat started to quicken.

This man is playing unfair again...

she thought.

Okay, she always found it hard to deny.

Xie Xiao watched as her face grew redder, then he slowly leaned in closer.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his heartbeat began to hasten.

Soon, a soft, warm kiss landed on his cheek.

Xie Xiao's eyes glittered.

As her lips left his face and she prepared to pull away, he reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist.

The kiss gently landed on her lips.

He had wanted to do this just a moment ago; her top was a bit short, and any significant movement would reveal a sliver of her fair waist.

A mere glimpse was the most seductive.

Now, as he held her waist, he found it soft, and just as slender as he had imagined.

Her lips tasted of peach; that must be the flavor of her lip balm?

He had smelled it as soon as he got close.

First just lightly pressing, he felt her initially rigid body slowly soften.

Xie Xiao saw her close her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was shivering a bit.

She was both adorable and pitiable.

Makes a person... unable to resist teasing...

Xie Xiao closed his eyes to savor the fruit of his stealthy victory.

In the fish tank beside them, the fish were still swimming happily.

The bigger fish chased the smaller ones until it finally succeeded in enclosing them.

The warm water enveloped them.

Frolicking and playing.

...

As it was Luo Yanran's first kiss, her face quickly turned thoroughly red, and she even felt her breathing become erratic.

The hand at her waist gently rubbed against it,

making her feel as if she herself was about to catch fire.

She eventually couldn't help but place her hand on his.

And then that hand stilled.

Xie Xiao opened his eyes to see her eyelashes trembling fiercely, her face flushed, yet her eyes remained tightly shut.

Laughter filled his eyes as he couldn't help but loosen his grip slightly, their noses still lightly touching,

but their lips were no longer pressed together.

"Breathe." As he spoke, he realized his own voice had turned hoarse again.

The girl, whose face had been crimson from holding her breath, finally began to breathe slowly, and her eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes.

Upon meeting Xie Xiao's gaze, she quickly shut them again.

Xie Xiao's heartbeat quickened too, but boys seem to have an innate ability in certain matters, like kissing, like flirting with girls...

At that moment, his hand on her waist deliberately moved, then he said, "Does closing your eyes mean you want another kiss?"

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yanran abruptly opened her eyes, which still held a watery shine.

"I... I didn't mean..."

As she spoke, their breaths tangled together, making the moment feel even more intimate.

Xie Xiao actually wanted to kiss her a bit longer, as kissing really could be addictive, and it felt comfortable too.

Well, certain areas aside, the sensory experience was still very pleasant.

But he still feared he might have scared her and let out a soft sigh, slowly releasing his hand, "Don't be afraid, no more kissing."

As his hand let go, Luo Yanran felt a sudden chill at her waist.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Her downcast eyes, not daring to look at him, made her appear quite pitiful.

Xie Xiao took a sip of Coke from beside him to soothe his throat which was about to smoke from dryness.

The taste of peach lingered in his mouth, and the touch on his hand was still very clear...

He closed his eyes, trying not to think anymore.

He shifted awkwardly.

Then he took the hand of the blushing girl next to him and intertwined their fingers in the way she liked.

"Did I scare you?" His voice was very light, "At first, I didn't plan to be so..."

He sighed, "Forget it, explaining it now seems a bit like playing innocent after taking advantage."

Xie Xiao initially only wanted to get close, but was his girlfriend not too well-behaved? Anyway, he thought, no regrets, cough, if he had to do it again, he would do the same!

Luo Yanran kept looking down, merely staring at their clasped hands, and whispered softly, "No."

Did I scare you?

No.

Xie Xiao couldn't resist and lifted her hand for another kiss, saying somewhat wistfully, "How can Ranran be so cute..."

Many praised Luo Yanran for her beauty, but after she grew up, she seldom heard anyone describe her as cute.

So Luo Yanran couldn't help but look towards Xie Xiao.

And she met his smiling eyes.

So, had he been watching her all this time?

No wonder she felt her body temperature wouldn't cool down.

But this time, she didn't avoid Xie Xiao's gaze, instead repeating seriously, "I wasn't scared."

It was just that she had been really nervous earlier, even forgetting to breathe.

Remembering the scene, she couldn't help the heat rising to her face.

Xie Xiao reached out and touched her face, which felt hot.

"Your face is so warm..." Xie Xiao said softly. Even though it was only the two of them in the room, he couldn't help lowering his voice.

This only added a sense of taboo to the atmosphere between them.

Luo Yanran took hold of the hand that touched her face, and found it was hot too, "Don't speak in such a hushed tone, it makes me feel..."

As if we've done something we shouldn't have...

Her face grew even hotter.

Xie Xiao watched her endearing reaction and couldn't help but chuckle.

Alright, he said, his voice finally returning to a normal volume.

He passed her the Coke, "Want a sip to cool down?"

Luo Yanran didn't think much and just took a drink.

Then she heard him say leisurely, "Sorry, it seems I took the wrong one, I just drank from this."

Luo Yanran held the Coke can, momentarily bewildered as she looked at him.

Then she saw him add, "But it probably doesn't matter, considering we've just been even closer. Sharing the same Coke isn't much of an issue..."

Luo Yanran realized he was doing it on purpose! Explore more at m,v l'e-NovelFire.net

She bit her lip, speaking softly, "That peach-flavored kiss just now, did you like it?"
