[An adorable, clueless newbie to love + a scheming, aloof expert in romance]
[Childhood sweethearts]
“Xiao Cao, do you like Senior Ling Zhecheng?” “No, I might only feel like he’s a brother. I wouldn’t call it liking him.” “I like you. I just want you to know that I fell for you at first sight. Seeing how close you two are makes me miserable. I want you to know how I feel.” Fu Jingyang finally speaks his heart, then opens the passageway door and leads Mu Xiaocao out. He only wanted to say it aloud, not to change anything.
Fu Jingyang panics. He feels like Mu Xiaocao is angry. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he says, “You go to sleep first. I’ll sleep after you do.” Mu Xiaocao suddenly grabs him by the collar. “Are you really serious about pursuing me?” “Yes. I swear to heaven, I’m absolutely sincere.” “Can’t you tell that I like you too?” Mu Xiaocao lets go of Fu Jingyang’s collar, then buries her face in the covers.
Fu Jingyang gazes at Mu Xiaocao, desire surging in his eyes like a tide. Unable to hold back, he leans in and kisses her. The moment their lips meet, time seems to stand still. A moment later, he draws back slightly, his voice hoarse and a little urgent. “Baby, I want to… Is that okay?” Mu Xiaocao doesn’t answer in words. Her cheeks are flushed, her eyes full of affection. She lifts her chin slightly and leans in, answering with a deep, passionate kiss instead of a thousand words.
