Just as Gu Xu was about to make use of his skilled kissing technique, Ye Jiajia forcefully pushed him away, both palms pressing against his chest.
Taking half a step back, she raised her right palm and a slap landed on Gu Xu's right cheek.
The slap was not heavy, but it echoed with a "smack".
This startling noise almost instantly sobered Gu Xu up.
Guiltily, he looked at Ye Jiajia. He intended to wrap his arms around her shoulders, but he hesitated and withdrew his hands.
"Jiajia, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive."
Ye Jiajia's face was already flushed red. She bit her lip, feeling guilty for herself for hitting him too hard.
"That...," she bit her lip again and stammered out due to nervousness, "I, I, I've never kissed anyone before, so..."
So she was too nervous and scared, and that's why she slapped him.
Gu Xu looked at her nervously brushing a loose lock of hair behind her ear, revealing the mole that he remembered so vividly.
