Finally, unable to resist any longer, Zane burst into laughter instantly, breaking the solemn atmosphere.
"Are you silly? You just awakened mutant abilities, nothing more. Why are you panicking like it is a matter of life and death?"
Hearing Zane's words, Lorna slowly raised her head, her eyes already filled with teardrops. However, seeing Zane's appearance, she instantly felt that this man deserved a good beating.
Without saying a word, Lorna pounced directly, opened her 'big mouth,' and took a bite on Zane's arm.
"Hehe, men are all big dummies."
Seeing Lorna's frustrated appearance, Zane felt that he had played too big. He quickly relaxed the muscles of his arm, making it easier for Lorna to bite.
Allowing Lorna to toss around for a while, Zane knew that she was venting her inner panic and uneasiness.
"I hate it, you scared me. I thought you didn't want me anymore." With her head buried in Zane's arms, Lorna soon heard her faintly sobbing voice.
Zane abandoned his previous playful image and lifted Lorna's head seriously. Without saying a word, he kissed her immediately, completely ignoring Lorna's futile resistance.
Slowly, the small fists that had been hitting Zane's body weakened, and in the end, they directly wrapped around Zane's neck.
This was their first kiss, lasting a full minute before they stopped. Zane gently pressed Lorna's head against his shoulder.
"Don't worry, I've got everything under control."
"Mm..."
The two held each other like this. At this moment, Lorna felt a peace she had never experienced before. How she wished this moment could last forever.
However, there was already a rod slowly pressing against her below, followed by Zane's dry voice.
"Uh, Lorna, can you come down first? It's a bit hot."
Blushing, Lorna lifted her head and suddenly laughed when she saw Zane's expression. Mischievously, she leaned close to Zane's ear and blew a breath of warmth. Instantly, half of Zane's body felt numb.
"I'm fine; you can continue."
Silence, silence was the theme of tonight on the New York Bridge. At this moment, two little figures were arguing in Zane's heart.
Angel: "She's still underage. Can you really go through with this?"
Devil: "She said she's okay with it. Are you hesitating between being a beast or a less-than-beast?"
Angel: "Why the rush? Anyway, she'll be yours sooner or later. What's the harm in waiting a few more years?"
Devil: "The tender sound of your body makes it easy to knock down, and once the loli is gone, there's no turning back. Understand?"
Angel: "..."
Devil: "..."
In the end, Zane fiercely kissed Lorna, but just when Lorna thought she was about to give away her first time, Zane stopped while breathing heavily.
"Hoo..., wait until you're of age to talk about that. It's not good for your body right now."
Lorna looked at Zane suspiciously and said, "Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's okay; you come down first."
Lorna obediently got off Zane. The impulsiveness just now was a momentary thing, and she wasn't fully prepared for it.
Zane had also considered this, taking advantage of Lorna's emotional fluctuations. He didn't want to leave any regrets for their first time together; they had a long future ahead.
On the sofa, the two felt a bit awkward due to the recent events. Lorna was ashamed of her boldness, while Zane was silently admiring his incredible self-control. Eventually, Zane broke the silence.
"Lorna, I remembered something interesting."
"What?" Lorna asked curiously.
Zane gave Lorna a mysterious smile. "Listen, activate your ability. There's a surprise!"
Although a bit puzzled, Lorna obediently activated her ability. Zane smiled slightly, stood up, walked to the door, and turned off the lights. Suddenly, the entire house became pitch black, with the only source of light being the green glow around Lorna's right hand.
Then Zane silently activated his newly acquired skill, [Son of Light], carefully controlling its output. He then held Lorna's right hand.
In an instant, countless brilliant glows radiated from the clasped hands, creating a breathtaking display. Some glows resembled ribbons, others like flames, or a massive multicolored screen. The colors were diverse and ever-changing, some bright and dazzling, others subtle and gentle. They formed intricate patterns and danced with the wind.
Lorna stared wide-eyed, fascinated by the beautiful scenery. After a while, she regained her senses, but her eyes still couldn't tear away from the spectacle.
"Zane, what is this?" she asked.
Zane gave a faint smile, indicating his time to show off had come. "This is the Northern Lights, appearing near the Arctic due to solar discharges in the magnetosphere."
"This should be the most beautiful scene in the world!" Lorna exclaimed.
"No, you are," Zane replied.
At this moment, Lorna turned her head and found Zane staring at her intensely.
In this atmosphere, the two kissed again, then sat on the sofa, gazing at the aurora until Lorna gradually fell asleep.
In a half-dream state, Lorna seemed to hear Zane say something.
"We're meant to be together..."
Yes, Zane used the power of [Son of Light] to create a romantic atmosphere without harming Lorna. Skill application required flexibility; using it solely for battles would be a waste.
If the Ultramen knew that Zane used their signature move to impress a girl, who knows if they would come charging out of the M78 Nebula to teach him a lesson.
Fortunately, thanks to Zane's ingenious maneuver, Lorna didn't harbor any concerns. That was the most important thing.
Seeing Lorna peacefully asleep, Zane carefully lifted her and placed her on the bed. He then embraced her and fell asleep too.
Early the next morning, when Lorna woke up, she found Zane in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Seeing this familiar scene, Lorna smiled sweetly.
"It's really nice, nothing has changed," Lorna whispered to herself.
Zane, in the kitchen, heard the movement and peeked his head out.
"Watch TV for a while; breakfast will be ready soon."
