The night was very deep.
It seemed as if the whole world had gone quiet.
The two of them locked gazes, holding each other's eyes tightly.
It was as if neither could look away.
The temperature in the air seemed to be rising.
Su Yin's heartbeat was fast.
Ji Zhihan's heartbeat was even faster.
He still held the hot towel in his hand, which he had now twisted into a bundle.
His breathing was getting heavier.
Bit by bit, heavier.
The distance between him and Su Yin seemed to be closing slowly.
Very close.
Unconsciously, Su Yin pursed her lips.
Ji Zhihan's heartbeat quickened even more.
His Adam's apple kept bobbing.
"I'd like some more water," Su Yin suddenly said.
At the moment Ji Zhihan was about to press his lips to hers,

Ji Zhihan quickly came to his senses.
It was just a little bit, a little bit away from…
He immediately got to his feet.
He sprang up.
Su Yin knew he was nervous.
But his reaction really kind of hurt her.
