"How is it? Do I disgust you that much?"
A trace of displeasure flashed in Mengniang's eyes.
"No, no..." Jiang Shouzhong hurriedly waved his hands and chuckled dryly, "I just think you are right, Mengniang. It's indeed better to keep some distance from me, considering a girl's reputation is important."
Mengniang hummed softly and moved a step closer to Jiang Shouzhong.
Jiang Shouzhong instinctively took a step back.
Mengniang advanced another step.
The man unconsciously retreated another step.
Between them, a subtle battle of distance unfolded, with the awkwardness gradually thickening.
Back and forth, Jiang Shouzhong found himself backed against the wall, with no place to retreat, while Mengniang continued to close in step by step, stopping only when their distances were nearly touching. She then halted, her smile teasing.
The air around them seemed to solidify, leaving only their breaths audible to each other.
"Mengniang, let's... calm down first..."
