The red silk gently draped over the girl, as the boy tenderly kissed her.
She had been trapped in this glass cage for so long that not being able to see the outside sunrise and sunset from the depths of the sea made her lose track of the days that have passed.
The boy silently watched her, his eyes tinted with emotion. He seemed unwilling to back off from her subtle rejection.
He whispered, "Don't be scared." Leaning in to kiss the corner of her eye, he soothed, "I won't go too far."
An Yeran: "!!!"
Who would believe that?!
"I said get lost! Are you crazy?!" She attempted to knee him out of anger, but he easily stopped her.
She heard a reluctant chuckle, followed by flowing water wrapping around her legs like a rope, rendering them immobile.
"Damn you! You dare—" Before she could finish, the boy silenced her.
As it turns out, men's words are often deceptive.
After a while, An Yeran, with a face of utter despair, lay in bed, angrily biting her own handkerchief.
