Lissy Lock felt like she was turning into a broken record, but John Fame remained unmoved.
Lissy gritted her teeth and ran her fingertips up and down his back, gently, back and forth.
Good, Lissy thought, suddenly smiling, as she could distinctly feel John stiffening, his muscles tense.
So she continued even more enthusiastically, lightly gliding back and forth across John's back.
"John Fame, just give me an answer. If you keep acting this way, I won't be able to sleep tonight, and my mood will be awful. Look, it's already eleven o'clock at night, and I can't sleep..."
This little action was very itchy and also very challenging for him.
Finally, John lost his composure, suddenly reaching out and knocking Lissy's hand away.
Seeing his response, Lissy's heart rejoiced, "I knew you hadn't fallen asleep."
"John Fame, look at me please. Stop turning your back to me, it makes you seem so cold."
But after pushing Lissy's hand away, John remained still again.
