Wenxi took a deep breath, gathering every ounce of courage she had, and leaned forward until her face was just inches from Wang Xiao's.
Her lips trembled, but her gaze remained steady, locked with his. She wasn't going to back down now. Not after everything. "Fine," she whispered softly, her voice barely audible. "I'll prove it... I was just saving it for last.."
Her fingers shook slightly as she fumbled with the lipstick, but she managed to reapply it to her lips, her movements deliberate despite her trembling.
"Close your eyes," she murmured, her voice barely hiding the nervous excitement coursing through her.
Wang Xiao, amused, could hear her heart pounding like a frightened deer, but he obliged, closing his eyes without protest.
The room felt still, the only sound the soft rustle of fabric as Wenxi leaned closer.
