Chapter 137 if-Pei Line (11): Kiss me...

A warm breath brushed against his earlobe. Yun Zhan wanted to distance himself, but he met Pei Yanxi's bright eyes, which were so close to his.

At that moment, Yun Zhan's breathing suddenly stopped.

Before her, Pei Yanxi's beauty was fully revealed by the steam, carrying an unreal, bewitching, and stunning quality.

Like a mermaid just emerging from the deep sea, a few strands of her wet black hair clung to her smooth forehead and cheeks.

The water droplets that hadn't been wiped away slid slowly down her delicate jawline, rolled over her long swan neck, and finally disappeared into the deep shadows. Every frame here was testing Yun Zhan's composure.

Pei Yanxi's eyes were clear and direct. She stared at Yun Zhan without any hesitation, grabbed Yun Zhan's hand, and placed it on her chest.

Is it so hard to admit that you're worried about me?

Pei Yanxi's voice was very soft. She looked at Yun Zhan's flustered and evasive gaze again, and a knowing smile appeared on her lips. Since Yun Zhan was unwilling to face it, then she would let her completely break through this barrier.

She leaned forward slightly, confidently displaying her stunning figure, her tone laced with a touch of languid arrogance: "I'm beautiful, why don't you look at me?"

"I...."

Yun Zhan's heart skipped a beat. She instinctively wanted to refute, but couldn't find the words.

Pei Yanxi didn't give her a chance to catch her breath, and leaned forward another half step.

The distance was extremely subtle, just enough for Yun Zhan to clearly see every beautiful detail of her body: her flat, firm abdomen, her beautiful V-line, her delicate collarbone, and her swan-like neck adorned with a ribbon.

Pei Yanxi was exceptionally beautiful; every part of her was exquisite.

She deliberately moved closer to Yun Zhan, meticulously planning to get close to her. Her voice was even lower, containing a hint of grievance and an intense desire to seduce her: "Or is it... that my figure isn't good enough for you?"

"Yun Zhan, I like you so much, look at me too." Pei Yanxi wrapped her arms around her neck, deliberately getting closer.

Yun Zhan watched helplessly as that stunningly beautiful face magnified infinitely before his eyes.

Just when she thought Pei Yanxi was going to say something more, a kiss, moist and slightly cool to the touch, gently landed on her lips.

That wasn't a deep kiss, or even a real kiss.

More like a butterfly, tentatively touching the petals again and again with its softest wings.

It was just a light, fleeting touch, yet with each breath, Yun Zhan tasted the flavor of Pei Yanxi's red lips.

One, two, three...

Each touch was light and fleeting, yet carried a deadly itch, so brief that it was impossible to grasp, yet in the instant of separation, it made one desperately crave the next closeness.

This extreme ambiguity and restraint stirs the heartstrings more than any passionate kiss, like a feather repeatedly brushing against the most sensitive part of the heart.

Yun Zhan froze completely, his body motionless, all his senses focused on the soft lips that were being repeatedly and gently pecked.

In the brief moment of her distraction, Pei Yanxi stepped back slightly, but gently cupped her cheeks with both hands.

The cool fingertips pressed against Yun Zhan's burning skin, causing a slight tingling sensation.

Through the misty vapor, Yun Zhan saw that Pei Yanxi's eyes were no longer those of the previous nagging, but had transformed into a pool of tender spring water, alluring and overflowing with deep affection.

Pei Yanxi gently stroked Yun Zhan's cheek with her thumb, her voice hoarse, with a hint of coquettish murmur: "Am I not handsome?"

She paused for a moment, her gaze fixed on Yun Zhan's slightly parted, glistening lips.

Why... won't you kiss me?

boom

Yun Zhan felt the last string of reason in his mind snap.

She's completely numb now.

In her mind and in her senses, there was only one thing left, a thought magnified infinitely: kissing Pei Yanxi...it really felt a little good.

The feeling of being entangled by an unbelievably beautiful woman, her face cupped in her hands, pleading for a kiss with such tender eyes and a pleading tone...

It really is, it's incredibly exciting.

Yun Zhan closed her eyes, her fingertips trembling. Her pride and self-control almost crumbled in front of Pei Yanxi.

In the brief moment of her distraction, Pei Yanxi stepped back slightly, but gently cupped her cheeks with both hands.

Her usually cool eyes now seemed to be filled with the tide of moonlight, with undercurrents surging beneath the gentle ripples.

All the previous probing had faded away, leaving only an almost honest, intense desire and tenderness.

"Can you give me a kiss first?"

Pei Yanxi gently stroked Yun Zhan's cheek with her thumb: "Just consider it... a little treat for me, I'll be very happy."

Yun Zhan's heart pounded like a drum, making his eardrums buzz.

Pei Yanxi's barrage of sweet talk exploded in her mind, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

First, he deliberately let her hear the sounds in the bathroom, leading her to bump into him. Then, he used his beauty as a weapon, pressing her step by step, questioning why she didn't dare to look. Now, he's lowering himself again, using an almost pleading tone to ask for a proactive kiss as a "sweet treat."

Amidst the chaos in Yun Zhan's mind, an absurd yet lucid thought suddenly popped into his head: Could this be... Pei Yanxi's long-planned scheme?

Everything happened so smoothly that Yun Zhan was completely powerless to resist.

This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision at all, but a carefully crafted, gentle trap designed solely to ensnare her.

Just as Yun Zhan was lost in thought, Pei Yanxi saw through her hesitation and decided to give her one last push.

"Just give me a kiss, just once... I love you..."

She cupped Yun Zhan's face in her hands, leaned forward slightly, and brought her glistening lips to his.

They were so close that Yun Zhan could clearly feel the cool dampness on her lips, smell the faint fragrance of her shower gel mixed with her body heat, and see her long, curled eyelashes trembling slightly with anticipation.

Pei Yanxi did not close her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she gazed intently at Yun Zhan.

There was no pressure in his eyes, only pure, undisguised expectation and encouragement.

This is an incredibly clear hint, a silent invitation:

I'm right here, completely defenseless, surrendering myself to you. All the power is in your hands; you just need to... lower your head slightly.

He could kiss her if she just lowered her head slightly.

Then she will be able to taste the sweetness that she "begged" for and longed for.

This realization completely disrupted Yun Zhan's breathing.

Reason told her she should push him away; it was too dangerous. But her body's instincts and her inner desires were screaming wildly.

At this moment, Yun Zhan didn't want to care about anything anymore.

"Um..."

She agreed.

Driven by the most primal desire in his heart, as if summoned by some silent call, Yun Zhan leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, and tentatively pressed his lips to his.

The moment he touched her, Yun Zhan's mind went completely blank.

It was an indescribable sensation—soft, warm, and slightly cool with a hint of moisture. It was different from the fleeting kiss just now, and even more beautiful.

The feeling is like sucking on a handmade gummy candy; you don't need to use too much force, just a gentle sip to taste the subtle sweetness that seeps out.

Yun Zhan couldn't help but wonder why a girl's lips could be so soft.

Pei Yanxi's breath was light, carrying the fresh moisture from her bath and her own unique sweet fragrance, all of which wafted into Yun Zhan's nostrils.

It was just a light kiss, yet it seemed to drain all of Yun Zhan's strength.

Yun Zhan's fingertips curled up unconsciously. An unprecedented sense of satisfaction and a deeper desire welled up from the bottom of her heart, making her almost unable to control herself from wanting to deepen the kiss and wanting to take more.

Just as Yun Zhan was about to become completely absorbed in the moment and unable to stop, Pei Yanxi took absolute control and suddenly pulled back slightly, ending the kiss.

She withdrew from it.

"Hmm?" Yun Zhan himself was unaware of the dissatisfaction he felt.

Why are you suddenly not kissing me anymore?

Pei Yanxi pulled away, and when their lips parted, a barely audible sound was amplified in the quiet bathroom, so intimate that it made Yun Zhan's heart tremble.

Pei Yanxi's fingertips remained on Yun Zhan's cheek, her eyes regaining some of their usual clarity, but the triumphant smile in her eyes could not be hidden no matter what.

She looked at Yun Zhan, who was still clearly disoriented, and said in a voice that was slightly hoarse from the kiss, but calm and composed: "Go take a nap first. I have a drinking party tonight and I need you to keep me company."

"Ah, how long into the night...?"

"After nine o'clock."

After Pei Yanxi finished speaking, she released Yun Zhan's hand without waiting for his response, then turned around gracefully and stepped out of the bath.

"Splash."

The sound of water brought Yun Zhan back to reality.

She subconsciously looked up.

Pei Yanxi emerged from the water with her tall and well-proportioned figure, glistening water droplets clinging to her fair skin, slowly sliding down her firm and smooth muscle lines.

The black bikini clung tightly to her shapely curves, highlighting her perfect waistline and long, straight legs. The image was clearer and more impactful than when it was through the water.

The lingering sweet and soft sensation on my lips hadn't faded yet when I was greeted by such a powerful visual shock.

Yun Zhan sat there blankly, watching Pei Yanxi pick up a bath towel and slowly wipe her body, her every move exuding undisguised sexiness and elegance.

Only then did she belatedly realize that she had been manipulated by this woman from beginning to end.

Goodness, I feel like I've been tricked.

That kiss was a "sweet treat" that Pei Yanxi herself had asked for; Yun Zhan had thought it was a reward he would give her without going too far.

But now it seems that she herself was the pitiful prey who willingly took the bait, was easily seduced, and then easily pushed away.
