Lu Yinxing looked into Xia Ye’s bright eyes.

She felt as if she was about to be drawn in completely.

The person in front of her was truly enchanting, always exuding charm.

Lu Yinxing felt her heartbeat quickening.

Yet the person standing before her was getting closer and closer.

Lu Yinxing pressed herself against the wall, with almost nowhere to retreat.

Xia Ye braced one hand on the wall, his chest slowly approaching.

He slowly lowered his head, and his breath came closer and closer.

Lu Yinxing felt her heart pounding like a drum, about to leap out of her chest.

Finally, Lu Yinxing pushed Xia Ye away.

Almost...

Almost kissed...

Lu Yinxing felt her heart couldn’t handle it.

Actually, this wasn’t the first time they kissed.

But on the previous two occasions, both were under special circumstances.

At that time, Lu Yinxing was still immersed in complicated thoughts.

And even then, she hadn’t thought much beyond those moments.

But now.

This overly ambiguous atmosphere made Lu Yinxing truly uncomfortable.

Suddenly changing perspective was just too difficult.

Psychologically, Lu Yinxing wasn’t opposed to Xia Ye getting close at all.

She even looked forward to it a little.

But physiologically, there seemed to be a reflex.

Lu Yinxing’s cheeks were as red as boiled shrimp, practically dripping blood.

Xia Ye understood Lu Yinxing’s thoughts and accepted her reaction.

On the surface, she seemed bold, like a wind-blown girl.

But when it comes to emotions, especially love, she’s both delicate and timid.

Xia Ye’s actions were only meant to tease her.

Seeing Lu Yinxing’s red face gave him a peculiar sense of delight.

Lu Yinxing turned her back on Xia Ye: "Honestly, getting undressed late at night, aren’t you worried about catching a cold? I’m going to sleep now, you’re sleeping on the sofa downstairs tonight."

Lu Yinxing didn’t even dare to glance at Xia Ye.

She just ran off upstairs.

She even faintly heard a soft laugh behind her.

Xia Ye was ridiculing her.

He must think of her as a coward.

Lu Yinxing felt indignant.

She tossed and turned in bed after taking a shower, biting the blanket, and after thinking for a long time, had to admit she was indeed a coward.

In fact, Lu Yinxing had thought about it before.

If she ever fell in love, with her personality, she’d definitely be the one to take the initiative.

She even once fantasized about Night being her boyfriend.

In her dreams, she was always the one throwing herself at him.

But Lu Yinxing never imagined she’d be so timid in reality.

She didn’t even have the courage to look Xia Ye in the eye at that moment.

Lu Yinxing sighed deeply under the covers.

The next day.

Lu Yinxing slept in, waking up late.

Her schoolwork was light now.

Fortunately, there’s no class this morning.

Lu Yinxing got out of bed; Xia Ye had already left.

Lu Yinxing remembered he had to represent the school in a Go match this morning.

Last night, Lu Yinxing contemplated whether to go cheer him on.

But thinking about it now, she was too lazy to bother.

It would be no surprise.

Of course, Xia Ye would win.

Lu Yinxing got up, tidied up a bit, and went downstairs. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

In the kitchen, she saw an exquisite breakfast on the dining table.

Sandwiches and milk.

Lu Yinxing smiled.

It felt so good to be cared for like this.

Lu Yinxing had planned to take a nap after breakfast.

But she was too restless to sleep, feeling utterly bored.

It was almost ten o’clock.

Lu Yinxing figured the Go competition must be ending soon.
