Warmth flooded his heart.
But the temperature kept rising, and eventually, the warmth turned into heat.
Han Zhuoling suddenly sprang forward and sought her lips.
He turned her face and Shi Xiaoya could only return his kiss.
The unexpected kiss was fierce and Shi Xiaoya wasn’t prepared, meeting it with a muffled “oomph.”
She thus missed how the group chat went momentarily silent before bursting into chaos because of her two sentences.
Wei Zilin: “This PDA caught me off-guard.”
Yan Huaian: “Who knew Han Zhuoling’s a dab hand at PDA? So many tricks up his sleeves.”
Qi Chenglin: “Two people sharing an account? Not like I can’t do that too. Come, honey.”
When Shi Xiaoya was finally released by Han Zhuoling, she wanted to find a hole to bury herself in after seeing the chat.
“So that’s your aim!” Shi Xiaoya was extremely embarrassed.
Yet she was still in Han Zhuoling’s embrace, freshly kissed. The atmosphere was a charged one.
“I like how you defended me.” Han Zhuoling’s low voice was like fine wine, delicious and seductive.
“That’s what I really think,” Shi Xiaoya said softly. “I never felt you’re too old, you’re just right.”
Han Zhuoling laughed, pushing her waist towards his navel. “Yes, you’ll know. My age is just right.”
Shi Xiaoya: “…”
She took a deep breath. What was this!
That’s not what she meant!
What’s he insinuating?!
“But,” Han Zhuoling immediately followed up, “if I were younger, I’d be much stronger.”
“Stop it…” Shi Xiaoya’s face was fully red from shyness now.
There was nowhere to hide despite her desperate wish to.
She didn’t dare to burrow into his arms right now.
She couldn’t handle this man.
The seductive him was far harder to deal with than his cold self.
Moreover, no matter what he said, she had no idea how strong he was.
As for “stronger,” she couldn’t even have a concept for that if she didn’t know his current level of vigor.
Han Zhuoling was oblivious to the fact Shi Xiaoya’s thoughts had lingered on the subject.
Han Zhuoling stopped teasing her and texted in the group: “Talk later, I have to settle some stuff.”
His phone was positioned in front of Shi Xiaoya when he typed.
Hence, she thought he had work to finish.
However, he opened the Weibo app instead.
Han Zhuoling went to see the comments the netizens had left for this week’s episode.
Indeed, most of them were focused on their relationship.
And there were naturally some nasty ones.
Shi Xiaoya saw them too.
She needn’t turn her head to feel the oppressiveness emitting from Han Zhuoling.
He was all warmth and sunshine just a moment ago, but now, he’s as cold as the Arctic.
She turned around and saw Han Zhuoling’s dark face, his unhappiness plastered all over his face.
“You needn’t care about what they say,” Shi Xiaoya said. “I see such comments frequently too, it’s nothing to me. They think they’re anonymous behind the Net, so you can’t hold them responsible no matter what they say and have no boundaries and respect whatsoever. If you treat them seriously, you’ll only make yourself angry and miserable. On the other hand, if you change your perspective, you’ll find their opinions are really funny and you can just treat them as jokes.”
