Gu Xiao stepped forward, wrapped his arm around her waist with an arrogantly graceful smile, his posture noble and icy cool.
Yet Qin Youbei only felt he was a beast in gentleman's clothing, a complete and utter hypocrite, for she alone knew his hand was restless.
Qin Youbei was tense all over, firmly gripping his hand to keep it from moving.
She knew Gu Xiao well, this man was an utter paranoid, a classic manipulative personality.
He wouldn't stop until he had achieved his goal.
At that moment, her wisest choice was to compromise.
They looked into each other's eyes, Qin Youbei steeled herself, tiptoed up, wrapped her arm around Gu Xiao's neck, and affectionately pecked his cheek.
Gu Xiao tightened his grip on her waist and, after she pulled back, captured her lips with his.
A gentle kiss, tender and lingering, quiet and soundless.
Under the sunlight, their two silhouettes merged into one, indistinguishable from each other.
