Eh?
Gu Jin froze, her chopsticks mid-air as she stared at Sheng Yan in shock.
The words hung in the air, seeming almost surreal amidst the cacophony of chatter around the campfire.
She blinked rapidly, wondering if she'd misheard.
"W-What?" she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.
Sheng Yan's smile widened, her striking blue eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Would you mind if I kissed you?" she repeated, her tone as casual as if she were asking to borrow a book.
Gu Jin felt her face heat up, the blush creeping across her cheeks like wildfire.
The attention they were drawing didn't help—Yan Mei, sitting a few feet away, raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by the scene unfolding.
Even Yu Jin, who had been deep in conversation with the others, seemed to glance in their direction momentarily before resuming his stoic silence.
