Li Xueyue pressed her lips together, unable to look him in the eyes after such a daring confession. "How am I supposed to respond to that?" she grumbled, burying her burning face against his shoulder, her hand resting upon his body. She could feel the low rumble of his chest under her fingertips when he chuckled and hugged her tighter.
"Have I finally left you speechless, Sunshine?" Yu Zhen remarked, leaning his face on top of her head, relishing in her sweet scent. He wanted this moment to last for a little while longer.
"No," she mumbled against his shoulder.
"Doesn't seem like it."
Li Xueyue knew he smirked before she even saw it. She quietly hummed in response, his shoulders too comforting for her to resist.
"Let's take you home now."
"Have you settled your business?" Li Xueyue asked, referring to when he stepped out of the pavilion to handle something.
