He Jingyao suddenly smiled, then bent down and kissed her lips.
But her lips were cold and trembling, causing He Jingyao's pupils to contract slightly.
Then, he pried open her teeth and delved into her mouth, rolling and sucking... Her lips finally warmed up, yet they trembled even more violently.
He Jingyao paused for a moment, then had to let her go, took a deep breath, and hoarsely asked, "Zhixi, you are afraid."
Su Zixi opened her eyes wide and said softly, "I'm not."
"Is that so?" He Jingyao smiled faintly, suddenly sat up, and at the same time, lifted her into his embrace, caressing his cheek as he said, "Then, why don't you take the initiative and try?"
Su Zixi was forced to lean into his embrace, still with a hint of confusion and helplessness in her eyes.
He Jingyao's gaze became even more somber.
He had thought she might be nervous and shy, or retreat out of timidity, but not like this... as if she was profoundly afraid of this matter.
It shouldn't be like this.
