Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Did You Just Lose Your First Kiss?

Xie Xiao glared at Lin Yu, who seemed calm before him. He almost believed it, except that Lin Yu's face was turning redder by the second.Xie Xiao let out a breath, his voice still tinged with disbelief, "You said you kissed Liu Ou?"

"You said Lin Yu kissed you?" Luo Yanran's eyes widened, her voice rising involuntarily.

Liu Ou, who had just come out of the shower, was now sitting on the bed, looking somewhat unnatural.

She avoided Luo Yanran's gaze and turned away, her voice muffled, "It was during... the fireworks." Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Liu Ou knew that Lin Yu liked her, and she had been purposely avoiding him.

Unfortunately, she herself had initiated some awkward conversations with Lin Yu in the afternoon, making her feel even more embarrassed.

But she couldn't really be a third wheel while watching the fireworks at night, could she?

So she ended up walking with Lin Yu along the snack street.

Actually, she wasn't hungry, but she knew Luoluo must be full. If she said she didn't want to go to the snack street, they might have stayed together as a group.

After her reflections in the afternoon and having dinner together, Liu Ou felt it wasn't so awkward to be with Lin Yu.

They were just friends, after all.

There were quite a few snacks available, and Lin Yu intentionally or unintentionally shielded her from the crowded masses.

They even bumped into some acquaintances on the way.

Everyone looked at them meaningfully, as if they suspected something was going on between them.

Though it did indeed look like something was going on...

"I felt really awkward at the snack street," Lin Yu sighed, lying down on the bed and looking up at the ceiling light, "we ran into Li Hua and the others. We hardly talked, and then we went to watch the fireworks... so many people on the bridge..."

The crowd gave Lin Yu a good excuse to pull her into his arms.

They had arrived pretty early and found a good spot, but people kept squeezing forward.

At first, Lin Yu was quite impatient. What's so great about fireworks?

But when Liu Ou gasped and was pushed into his arms, he thought maybe watching the fireworks wasn't so bad after all.

The crowded throng suddenly became bearable.

At that moment, Liu Ou looked up at him apologetically, "Sorry, it's just too crowded..."

She stepped back slightly but remained within Lin Yu's embrace.

Because behind her was a very overweight lady holding a child...

Liu Ou sighed, "Maybe we should forget it..."

Before she could finish, Lin Yu reached out to pull her back, then gently turned her by the shoulders so she was facing the lake.

Lin Yu stood behind her, carving out a relatively less crowded space, but they were standing very close to each other.

Lin Yu spoke, and Liu Ou could feel the vibrations of his chest and his breath as he said, "This way they won't squeeze you anymore. It's rare to come here and get a good spot. Let's just watch; it's about to start."

Liu Ou wanted to look up at Lin Yu, he was a head taller than she was and she could easily see him if she looked up.

But at that moment, she realized her heart was beating too fast.

It made her afraid to look up, feeling as if her rapid heartbeat would be revealed the moment she did.

So she just murmured an acknowledgment, and then neither of them spoke again.

"I think she must have felt my heartbeat racing almost out of my chest. It's the first time I realized a person's heart could beat this fast..." Lin Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch his heart, which seemed to be racing again.

Then it seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed very quick, when the fireworks started blazing through the sky.

Lin Yu watched the ignited fireworks.

Suddenly, somewhere a guy yelled, "Kong Xue, I love you! Be my girlfriend!"

Lin Yu suddenly looked down at Liu Ou.

Just then she looked up, and their gazes met.

Lin Yu, on impulse, blurted out, "Liu Ou, I like you."

Liu Ou's eyes suddenly widened, and her mouth just moved.

"I was afraid she would reject me..." Lin Yu explained in a low voice, as if this could mask his uncontrollable impulse at the time.

He didn't wait for Liu Ou to speak and leaned down to kiss her.

It was as soft as he had imagined, and it carried the fragrance of plum blossoms. They had just eaten plum blossom cakes at an old lady's place. Not the pastry shaped like plum blossoms, but the kind made with dried plum blossoms...

Lin Yu had thought it too cloying before, but now it felt just right, very fragrant and soft...

In the end, Liu Ou pushed him away.

The fireworks had ended.

The chubby lady next to them held her little girl who quietly said to her mom, "Wow, brother and sister are kissing~ so shy~ o(*////▽////*)q"

The little girl's mom, embarrassed, walked away with her child.

The fireworks were over, and the crowd dispersed,

The impulse also began to fade.

Just as Lin Yu was at a loss about what to do, he heard Liu Ou say, "The exams are coming up, let's talk after that."

"And then you guys came," Lin Yu sighed, "She's really nice, didn't even hit me."

Xie Xiao found it hard to say anything, astonished at not knowing what to say first.

Finally, he sighed, "You're not sure if she likes you, and your behavior was hooliganism..."

Lin Yu cursed softly, frustrated, "I know, I feel like slapping myself."

Xie Xiao: You're at least self-aware, huh?

Luo Yanran was also somewhat silent at this time.

Looking at her friend's blushing face, she quietly asked, "Do you have feelings for Lin Yu..."

"I never considered it, really," Liu Ou sighed, touched her heart, and muttered softly, "But now I have to think about it."

Luo Yanran admired Liu Ou's composure, something many girls couldn't achieve when faced with such a situation.

But only Liu Ou knew she was not calm.

From the moment Lin Yu kissed her, her heartbeat had been very fast.

It was still fast even now, even though she had washed her face several times with cold water when she had taken a shower just before.

She couldn't tell Luoluo that she was not feeling calm.

At the moment after the kiss, she even wanted to tell Lin Yu to give it a try.

Liu Ou knew she might really have feelings for him.

No wonder she always had a soft spot for Lin Yu.

Even when she could easily reject others...

Liu Ou sighed, turned to Luo Yanran, "Luoluo, aren't you going to take a shower?"

Luo Yanran sat there, dazed, "No, I need to absorb this for a while, did your first kiss just go like that?"

Liu Ou's face turned completely red, "How could you..."

Luo Yanran looked at her deeply blushing face and suddenly laughed, "You must have feelings for Lin Yu too."

After saying that, she stood up, "I'm going to take a shower."

Leaving Liu Ou sitting by the bed, face flaming red.

She took a few steps and then remembered she hadn't checked her phone when it vibrated just now.

Luo Yanran came back to grab her phone, receiving a message from Xie Xiao.

A smile unconsciously appeared on her face, then she froze after opening the message.

The message read, "I just kissed you and it seems Teacher Lin and your teacher saw us, and the head of discipline too. If they talk to you, remember to say it was all my fault."

Luo Yanran blinked, slowly looked up, and said to Liu Ou, "It seems the teachers know about me and Xie Xiao."
