The Sea That Burns Forever

After the college entrance exams, Xu Zeyi kissed her.

It happened without warning.

Lin Qiong only remembered the suffocating air that filled the sweltering little room.

The boy leaned against the wall, his undershirt and tousled hair soaked with sweat.

He hadn't eaten for days, and his lips were so dry they were peeling, but his beautiful eyes were still damp as black mercury.

When the kiss ended, Xu Zeyi gazed into her eyes. "Sis, are those good-for-nothings all you can see?"

A careless smile played on his lips. "Think about letting me be the one by your side. I can protect you like a man, too."
