Only when Jiang Feifei leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek did he stop. Lin Xuan's face instantly turned red, but a faint smile touched his clear, pure eyes. Best friend: ... Why did I come here to get buried under this mountain of sweetness??? Both virgins, healing each other, doting on one another. 20220527 Next novel: Cherished in the Palm of His Hand Blurb: 1.
