The night breeze brushed against their cheeks.

The shadows of the trees danced in the moonlight and stars twinkled in the night sky. He Jiayu’s eyes reminded her of falling stars.

That pair of stars flickered, then turned as resplendent as fireworks when he smiled.

Su Xiaomo was either astonished by his words or infatuated by his face. She simply stared at He Jiayu in amazement.

He Jiayu had shifted her from his shoulder and was now holding her in his arms. His big hands felt unbelievably hot on her waist and seemed to burn her skin.

Su Xiaomo jumped out of his arms in a flurry and stumbled back.

He Jiayu walked toward her at an unhurried pace.

Thump —

Su Xiaomo’s back bumped into his car. She turned left hastily, but He Jiayu blocked her way by putting an arm on the car window. She then turned right, but was stopped by He Jiayu’s other arm.

She was practically wrapped in He Jiayu’s arms, and the refreshing minty scent of him filled her nose. He Jiayu smiled and asked gently, “Fairy Momo, why are you running away from me?”

“I… I’m not.” Su Xiaomo struggled to keep her composure. “I’m not going to fall for you just because you’ve turned into a sweet talker! Hmph! I bet you’ve used that on a hundred girls! You’re so experienced!”

He Jiayu smiled, then brushed her hair away from her face. “Are you jealous?”

Even the skin behind Su Xiaomo’s ears turned pink. “Why should I be… It’s not like I like you!”

He Jiayu suddenly moved closer until his body touched hers. Su Xiaomo could even hear his steady heartbeat.

“You disingenuous woman.” He Jiayu smiled after a moment. “Do you know what your pulse rate was for the past minute?”

Su Xiaomo was baffled. It only occurred to her then that he had been taking her pulse with his fingers on her wrist while feeling her heartbeat with his own chest…

“You bastard!” Su Xiaomo bit her lip, then drew in a painful breath.

She had forgotten that her lips were swollen from that kiss…

He Jiayu gazed at her apologetically. He then bent down and gently traced her lips with his tongue. His movements were unbelievably tender…

Su Xiaomo went stiff and could only stare at He Jiayu as if she was in a trance.

They were so close that she could see He Jiayu’s long, thick eyelashes, which cast shadows on his face.

He kept his eyes closed until the kiss was over. He then whispered in Su Xiaomo’s ear in a teasing tone, “I see that you like to kiss with your eyes open…”

Hm…

Su Xiaomo couldn’t help but punch him in the stomach.

He Jiayu fell to the ground with a thump and even coughed weakly.

Su Xiaomo went to help him up in a fright. “Hey, are you alright?”

He Jiayu looked like he was going to faint. “Momo… you’re as strong as ever… cough, cough…”

OMG!

Had she hit him too hard?

God! She hadn’t given He Jiayu internal bleeding, had she?

“I’ll take you to the hospital!” Su Xiaomo helped him to his feet. He Jiayu blinked, then said in a pitiful voice, “You don’t have to do that… I know you don’t like me that way, or you wouldn’t have hit me so hard… Don’t worry, I can manage it myself. I have insurance and I’ll cover the bill myself. Bye bye.”

He turned to leave, and from behind, he looked fragile enough to be blown over by the lightest wind.

Su Xiaomo panicked and ran after him. “Cutie He, don’t say that. I didn’t mean it…”

He Jiayu turned around and asked feebly, “Do you like me, then?”
