Venus's brain cells were fully activated, and she could tell that smoke might come out any second due to overloading. However, she was not aware that her silence made a poor guy's heart wrenched due to the distress.
After a few more minutes of Venus silence, Ace realized that his proposal had failed, so he flew the helicopters back down dejectedly. That was a sign for everyone to return, including the yachts.
In just a few minutes, the helicopter landed, and Venus finally came back to reality. Seeing the dispirited shoulder blade of Ace that got down first before coming over to open the doors for her, Venus knew that he misunderstood her.
Seeing that the yachts still had a long way to go, Venus gathered all her courage and grabbed Ace's wrist that was about to distance from her. Although Venus had no idea why she had a feeling that if she does not clearly explain herself, a huge part of hers would forever be gone.
Ace, who was feeling distressed, unintentionally turned cold when turning back to Venus and asked, "What?".
For the first time in a long time, Venus's tears were threatening to come out due to the shock. However, she knew if she cried, Venus knew her face and voice would turn into a sh*t show. Therefore, she took a breath and confessed in one go.
"Ace Liu, calm down; I was silent because my brain was overloading, I did not reject you."
At this moment, someone's strict and fierce barrier broke down, and a smile was about to come out any moment. Venus noticed that and slightly smirked before continuing.
"I also admit we did not know each other for a long time, but I do want to take a chance with you. Instead of wasting time getting to know each other for weeks or months only to separate, why not date during that time slot? Either way, if we are not meant to be, then we would still split after being together, no? Although I am a novice at romance, youth imprints all the earthshaking stories; unreasonableness lets passion roam free. Therefore, Ace, for as long as possible, I want you to accompany me through this journey through each new morning."
Hearing her words, Ace's heart could not help but beat confusingly and erratically. Although he could not make out his body's changes, he knew Venus was the cause, and he decided to follow his heart.
Inching closer to Venus, he used one of his arms to embrace her tiny waist before using his other hand to slightly lift Venus's chin up then diving her mouth. The kiss was tender and soft at first before he nibbled on her lower lips seeking permission to enter her mouth. Venus knew what his action meant and complied. The pier's temperature got heated in just a few minutes as only the wet kissing sounds could be heard under the dark sky.
At that moment, clapping sounds could be heard, which was a sign for the couple to stop. Venus, who regained her consciousness first from the passionate moment, used both her hands to push Ace, who was too into it. As the two parted, a slight strand of saliva could clearly be seen connecting the couple.
Alice is a teaser, "Wow, it's getting hot in here, phewww," pretending to fan herself. This made Venus's cheeks burn red even harder, but luckily Ace wrapped his right arm around her shoulder and pulled her toward his chest. This enables the shy girl to hide and cool down.
This time Aleric chipped in, "Awww, my bro is so sweet to his new girl."
Ace spoke back calmly, "Yeah, but it's not as sweet as love bites."
Everyone else: ＊〇□〇）...!
