1. Jiuyi used to think Nanyun must get tired of smiling all the time, so one day she tried covering his mouth with her hand. Ah... he really wasn't smiling.
His bangs partly obscured his eyes, but the predatory look in them was about to burst through. She was about to pull her hand away when he deliberately leaned closer. Their faces were only a palm's breadth apart. His eyes curved, and his expression suddenly softened, as if what she had just seen had been an illusion.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
At the same time, his warm breath brushed between her fingers. She thought, He really is a dangerous man.
2. Nanyun backed Jiuyi into a corner and watched her glare at him until the tension around her eyes eased. Tears welled up and rolled down her cheeks. He listened as she spoke in a trembling voice she struggled to control.
"I hate you."
"Mm-hmm." His pupils widened for an instant. Then he smiled as casually as ever and wiped away one of her tears with his finger.
He thought, So this is what those beautiful eyes look like when they cry.
Nanyun didn't think the most important thing was that she was crying because of him.
