The unexpected kiss took Wang Chen by surprise, and a different kind of ripple suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart.
They had both been drinking, and it was the kind that packed a punch later on.
What's more, their tolerance varied with their mood.
On a good day, they could drink a thousand cups without falling, but when feeling down, even a single cup could muddle their senses.

The alcohol they had consumed numbed their nerves quickly as they wallowed in their shared unhappiness.
Maybe it was the alcohol at play, or perhaps that kiss had struck a chord in Wang Chen.
After a moment of astonishment, he almost instinctively pinched Tong Lei's chin and blurted out, "Lei, we're a man and a woman alone in a room, does this not count as you seducing me?"
Tong Lei's lips curved into a smile, "If it is seduction, what would you do?"
