The voice laced with a smile fell, and the girl pressed tightly into his embrace. Xu Yuan distinctly felt her breathing become slightly rapid, and his lips curled into a gentle smile.
Wrapping his arms around the girl's slender waist, he gently soothed her supple long hair, inhaled the fresh scent from her hair, and felt her graceful softness.
Everything was ambiguously just right.
Xu Yuan was quite satisfied with their current position, although it would have been better if Tianyan wasn't wearing this palace dress.
However, he didn't make any further moves, for if he scared this little white rabbit away, it would be a loss not worth the gain.
"Xu Yuan...."
Tianyan's voice gently rose, sounding somewhat muffled because she was buried in the man's hair: "You... you let go of me first."
Xu Yuan's fingertips twirled in her smooth hair:
"What's the matter?"
"Let go of me first," Tianyan repeated.
"Won't let go," Xu Yuan laughed softly.
"...." Tianyan didn't make another sound.
