Su Wen's face was also burning hot as he explained, "I, well... I'm not usually like this, you know that. It was just too stimulating in the moment, and I couldn't hold back..."
"I'm going to freshen up..." Ding Yingying's face showed an expression that was either resentful or angry, as she scurried off to the kitchen's bathroom area and got busy.
Standing by the kitchen door, Su Wen listened to the sounds from inside, which were tinged with stifled laughter. Though he had apologized with his words for the mishap earlier, deep down he felt overwhelmingly exhilarated. At that moment, lighting a cigarette and savoring the aftertaste, life felt as blissful as that of an immortal.
