Chi Yanzhou seemed to have anticipated this and reacted first.
His hands, which were loosely clasped together, suddenly clenched, and his fingers interlocked.
The force wasn't strong enough to hurt her, but it stopped her from pulling away just in time.
Not only that, he also used that force to gently pull her towards him.
The distance between the two instantly closed...
They were originally just standing side by side, but now they are almost face to face.
Her nose almost bumped into his chest, and she could clearly smell the crisp woody scent on him mixed with the coolness of the night breeze.
Lu Nange looked up and saw Chi Yanzhou looking down at her.
The slightly ambiguous colored lights circulating in the KTV cast faint shadows on his outstanding brow bone and bridge of his nose.
This made his already deep eyes appear even more unfathomable.
His breath was shallow, yet because they were so close, it brushed against her bangs and cheeks, bringing a subtle, heart-fluttering itch.
Lu Nange felt a sudden panic.
"Have you been drinking?" he asked, his voice lower and hoarser than usual.
Lu Nange was a little confused, and subconsciously replied, "Um... a little bit."
But inwardly he thought: [Isn't this obvious?]
Chi Yanzhou's gaze lingered for a moment on her glistening lips before returning to her eyes.
Then he asked, his tone revealing no emotion, yet it seemed as if he was brewing something.
"That boy from earlier," he paused, "what did you think of him?"
Lu Nange was taken aback by his abrupt question...
She blinked, her mind a little sluggish from the alcohol, but her gaze involuntarily fell on his face.
Up close, his skin looked incredibly good in the dim light, with long eyelashes, a straight nose, and delicate features.
[Yes, you're being unfair! Why do I feel like Yan-ge is better looking than me!]
Is it possible that this is due to genetics?
[Isn't it you, the 'Creator,' who's biased?]
[I'm a system, not Nuwa! Forget it... I can't reason with someone who's just drinking!]
“Nan Nan…”
Chi Yanzhou called her name softly, his hot breath carrying a husky voice, mingling with the cool scent emanating from him, all of which entered her ears.
Lu Nange felt her ears burning, and on instinct, she blurted out, "Not as pretty as you!"
The moment she finished speaking, she froze.
Chi Yanzhou was clearly stunned as well.
He lowered his eyes and stared at her intently.
Look at her eyes, which are exceptionally bright and moist because of the alcohol, and his reflection is clearly visible in them.
Looking at her slightly parted, bright red lips, she seemed to be startled by her own words and forgot to close them.
Everything around seemed to freeze.
The distant, ethereal singing and the faint sounds of traffic outside the door all blurred and faded away, becoming insignificant background noise.
In the small space between the two of them, the temperature was quietly rising, and their breaths were silently mingling.
Something long dormant seemed to be stirring within the dim light and the tightly clasped fingers, about to burst forth...
Not far away, in the shadows behind a pillar, Chi Yi held his phone steady with both hands, the camera pointed at his young master and Miss Lu, looking slightly excited.
He frantically pressed the shutter button, sending a stream of high-definition "on-site photos" into the newly created small group chat, which was missing only the two parties involved and the underage Lu Beiye.
[Chi Yi: [Pictures][Pictures][Pictures] Live from the scene! The atmosphere is perfect, everyone!]
[Chi Yi: [Image] That gaze is so intense! I bet five cents something big is going to happen tonight!]
He was so engrossed in posting that he didn't notice his hand slipping and pulling someone he shouldn't have.
My phone buzzed and vibrated, and new message notifications flooded the screen instantly.
He Zhuo: [Chi Yi, you've changed. I never expected you to be like this, Chi Yi, but... I like it!]
