And she hadn't thanked him once.
No wonder he was not happy.
Nan Feng's tone grew timid, "Then… I promise I won't neglect you next time. Whenever you come, I'll ensure that you feel my presence, okay?"
She was held captive by him and couldn't budge even if she wanted to.
"How?" He breathed warmly on Nan Feng's face again.
Nan Feng proactively hugged him and, like a little bird, nested her face on his chest, "Just like this. Is that okay?"
He seemed to stiffen momentarily before pulling her into a tight embrace.
Nan Feng was now immobilized. She felt as if he was moulding her into his very being.
Nan Feng could hear the occasional chirping of cicadas from the trees in the courtyard, the noisy streets, and the chatter from the next courtyard over.
But what struck her the most was the strong heartbeat of him.
