Just then, Jiang Cheng suddenly lowered his head, cupped the back of her head with his large hand, and kissed her.
His kiss landed so suddenly that Pei Xi hadn't even reacted before his nose was filled with his warm breath.
The touch on his lips was soft yet unfamiliar. After a brief moment of surprise, Pei Xi began to respond.
Neither of them had any experience, and their first few attempts were clumsy, but Jiang Cheng quickly found the right approach, guiding her step by step with his lips and tongue.
Pei Xi felt like her brain was lacking oxygen, and she was a little dizzy from being kissed.
This was the first time she had ever felt this way; even her legs felt weak.
Noticing that her body was sliding down, Jiang Cheng grabbed her waist and lifted her onto the table.
She sat at the table, and Jiang Cheng bent down, his lips moving constantly, his fingers gently rubbing her hair.
Pei Xi closed his eyes unconsciously, feeling so comfortable.
The pounding of their hearts drowned out the sound of the fireworks exploding; in that small space, only their breaths remained, intertwined in an ambiguous, wet, and burning embrace.
After an unknown amount of time, the two separated, panting heavily, their lips glistening with moisture.
Jiang Cheng pressed his forehead against hers, his eyes dark and deep, like a whirlpool that could drown a person.
His voice was hoarse: "I'm sorry, Pei Xi, I don't think I've ever confessed to you yet."
Because she was so smart, he didn't even need to confess his feelings.
But that's not fair to her.
"Go ahead," Pei Xi said, her body trembling and her voice becoming very soft.
Jiang Cheng reached out and cupped her face in his hands, as if he were treating the most precious treasure in the world.
He said, "I like you."
No, it's not just liking, it's loving you.
Love so intense it's hard to suppress, so they have no choice but to act first and ask questions later.
First, give each other a deep kiss, then confess your feelings.
The fireworks outside had stopped, and the room was silent except for the sound of their breathing.
Pei Xi's chest heaved slightly as she looked into Jiang Cheng's eyes and asked, "Have you... liked me all along?"
Jiang Cheng nodded.
Yes, from a very, very long time ago.
Pei Xi hummed in response, a faint smile spreading across his eyes.
You have a crush on me.
"...Um."
Jiang Cheng readily nodded in agreement.
He had a crush on her; he secretly began to like her without anyone knowing.
"You hid it very well before..."
Jiang Cheng didn't give her a chance to speak. He lowered his head and, with a hurried movement, sealed her lips with his own again.
Pei Xi obediently closed her eyes, enjoying his advances, holding his body tightly, and then responding gently.
In the quiet room, the soft sounds of kissing filled the air once more.
He was also breathing heavily and laboredly.
Their breaths mingled, their heartbeats overlapped, and all their love had a definite name, freely expressed between their lips and teeth.
