Jiang Xian's mind was blank. Before, what she and Li Zhiyan had done could still be considered a peck.
Between elder and younger relatives, this could actually be somewhat explained away.
But now, Li Zhiyan had kissed her for real.
How could she possibly explain that?
At this moment, Jiang Xian tried hard to push Li Zhiyan away.
But instead, it seemed like she was welcoming him even more.
The two of them kissed intimately.
Completely immersed in the competition.
Li Zhiyan wrapped his arm around Jiang Xian's slender waist, his hand resting on her hip-hugging skirt.
Inhaling the fragrance of Auntie Jiang, Li Zhiyan was intoxicated with kissing Jiang Xian.
Time passed quickly, and Jiang Xian had been trying to stop Li Zhiyan's actions but found it seemed to be of no use...
The more she tried to stop him, the more it felt like she was accommodating him.
Gradually, Jiang Xian's hormones completely took over her mind.
She was utterly lost in the kiss with Li Zhiyan and responded with fervor.
...
Half an hour passed.
As the host announced the end of the competition, Li Zhiyan was still reluctant to stop kissing Jiang Xian.
He really didn't want to let go of Jiang Xian.
Only after Jiang Xian took the initiative to separate from him did he end the kiss.
By then, Jiang Xian could barely stand.
Next was the voting segment; the audience began to vote, and without any doubt, Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian did not win any prize.
Carrying the shopping bags, Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian walked shoulder to shoulder, taking the elevator.
Li Zhiyan didn't care about the prizes at all.
The key was to be able to kiss Auntie Jiang; that was more important than anything else.
"Auntie Jiang, it's really a bit regretful today. So long kissing,"
"and we didn't even place. Otherwise, we could have saved some money on food,"
"Auntie Jiang, can I continue to kiss you in the future?"
"No... Today was a special situation because we were in a competition, that's why Auntie kissed you,"
"In the future, we can't do this anymore. In my heart, I see you like a younger relative, a son,"
"So, we mustn't do such things like kissing anymore,"
Despite the numerous impulses in Jiang Xian's heart, she still had to remarry Yen Zhengjin.
Things like kissing Li Zhiyan...
No matter what, she could not do it again in the future.
Li Zhiyan wasn't surprised by Jiang Xian's rejection. Although Jiang Xian wasn't as overly traditional as Fang Zhiya, she was still a very traditional woman.
The idea of her agreeing to kiss him outright was unquestionably impossible...
This matter still required his own efforts.
"I understand, Auntie Jiang..."
After Li Zhiyan nodded earnestly, for some reason, Jiang Xian felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.
Could it be she was really hoping to continue that way with Li Zhiyan?
...
After dinner, Li Zhiyan took Jiang Xian back to her home.
Outside the residential area, both of them felt reluctant to part.
"Auntie Jiang, I have to go home,"
"Okay, Xiao Yan, thank you for accompanying Auntie shopping today, I had a lot of fun,"
Jiang Xian was in a great mood; her day was supposed to be gloomy and boring.
But, because of a miraculous coincidence, she met Li Zhiyan. Looking back, it really felt miraculous.
Everything was as if it were a dream.
"Auntie Jiang, if you're ever free, you can always call me,"
Li Zhiyan stepped forward and gently hugged Jiang Xian.
The two embraced tightly, and Jiang Xian's face started to turn red again.
"Auntie Jiang, I'm going now,"
Li Zhiyan didn't dare to do anything too excessive. Today's events had gone far enough; continuing could lead to the opposite of what was intended.
Jiang Xian watched Li Zhiyan's retreating figure, standing there in a daze for a long time before she finally went home.
