The atmosphere was strange, unusually strange.

Kissing, simply put, is an intimate contact between lips, stimulating the mind through the exchange of bodily fluids.

As for how exciting it was, Wenmer can finally feel it now.

The excitement he felt now was beyond what could be described as a deer's pounding; he even felt as if a rhinoceros was stuffed into his chest, pounding wildly inside.

For about ten seconds after the kiss, neither of them realized what they had just done; their minds went blank for a moment, and it wasn't until a minute later that they gradually felt shy.

Especially with their own saliva still on each other's faces, this clumsy way of kissing is a unique kind of romance for two young people.

Although it was very unseemly, they were happy.

Back home, the ambiguous atmosphere lingered around the two of them, and almost every time they looked at each other, their feelings seemed to collide in mid-air.

"Um, you, you should go take a shower first." Wen Mo scratched his face awkwardly, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself down.

In contrast, Xia Lian appeared much calmer, as if nothing had just happened.

"oh."

She responded and then got up to get her clothes.

"That's my room. Your clothes are next door."

"..."

Well, actually I wasn't exactly calm either.

Xia Lian loosened the single ponytail at the back of her head, hoping that this strand of hair could cover her burning earlobes. Her face, full of collagen, was so tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. At this moment, her cheeks, flushed with rosy cheeks, were incredibly radiant.

"I'm going to take a shower."

She whispered something and gently closed the bathroom door.

Just as Wenmo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to sit on the sofa to rest for a while, the bathroom door was reopened, and a light footstep came from inside.

The next second, a soft body pressed against his back. The two were very close, able to clearly feel each other's warmth.

Wen Mo didn't dare to breathe loudly, just waiting for her to finish hugging him.

Having hugged him enough, Xia Lian let go of his arms, poked his back, and then went into the bathroom one last time, closing the door behind her.

Her face was so hot it could practically fry an egg. She stared at herself in the mirror, completely unable to recognize who she was. Was this girl with the face as red as a tomato really herself?

Xia Lian didn't know what she was thinking. She only knew that something was wrong after the kiss, as if there was a voice in her head guiding her to get closer to Wen Mo.

"Wenmo..."

She murmured Wenmo's name softly, then placed her hands on her chest, lowered her head, and squatted on the ground motionless. Her hazy eyes slowly closed, and her body felt unbearably hot, as if she were enveloped in a ball of flame.

...

The next morning.

The two of them got up earlier than usual today, probably because they were so focused on sleeping last night that they didn't dare to think about anything else for a moment.

The two people on the bed slept back to back, which was unusual for them, but the body temperature in the blankets was never low.

Wen Mo had originally planned to let her sleep alone in the next room occasionally, but then he thought that the girl probably wouldn't be able to sleep well without him by her side, so he decided against it.

"You, you go in first, otherwise you'll be late, hahaha..." Wen Mo laughed awkwardly, scratching his messy hair.

Even he himself didn't know what he was saying. There were hardly any people in the classroom, and there were still several tens of minutes before class started. He was hardly going to be late.

"Hmm? Uh, umm..."

Xia Lian lowered her head and brows, her slender white fingers twisting in front of her. Ever since she woke up, the blush on her cheeks had never stopped.

"Then I'll go in first." She stepped into the classroom, glanced back at Wen Mo outside the door, and waved obediently, "Goodbye, Wen Mo."

Wen Mo felt a sharp pang in her heart. It was a gesture she was used to seeing all the time, but today she found her adorable waving goodbye particularly endearing.

My heart is melting...

It took Wen Mo a while to restart his phone. Standing in front of the door, he reached out and patted her head. "Okay, if you want to have lunch together, remember to let me know. I'll reply instantly."

After saying that, he left, feigning nonchalance.

Little did Wenmo know that his stiff, uncoordinated gait as he left was unusually strange.

Both of us were acting strangely today, in a different kind of strangeness. It was the first time we'd felt this strange since we started dating, as if all the familiar things we'd experienced before had been wiped out.

Even though it was just a kiss, every move the other person made made her heart pound.

Even after the first class was over, Xia Lian was still not out of her daze, and her already blank eyes looked even more vacant.

Yin Tao leaned closer with some concern and waved her hand in front of her face, "Xiao Lian?"

Xia Lian's eyes were lifeless, and she showed no reaction.

Upon seeing this, Yin Tao immediately understood what was going on.

Oh no, I guess I've been strung along like a peacock, and I've been thinking about that person all morning.

"Xiao Lian, you've become an idiot." Yin Tao said with heartache, her good friend had fallen into the abyss of men and was unable to extricate herself.

Now, all she wants to know is who that guy across from her is, that he could catch Xia Lian's eye, even though she can count the number of times she's spoken to the guys around her on one hand.

"Xiao Lian, I don't object to you being in love, but you're acting really silly right now." Yin Tao reached out and poked Xia Lian's soft waist.

Provoked by this, Xia Lian finally reacted, staring intently at her.

"I'm not stupid, I'm very smart."

"You still say you're not stupid! Just by looking at that expression, I can tell you're in love even with my ass!" Yin Tao snorted, then leaned close to her cheek with interest. "Tell me about it."
