He kissed her.
What...what does he mean by that?!
Ning Lang's mind was in turmoil, his thoughts racing, and he could no longer conceal his emotions.
So she simply opened her eyes open.
The night was dark, but she immediately and accurately caught the gaze of the newcomer.
He was startled!
Sheng Xuan was genuinely startled, and the panic in his eyes was too great to hide; he simply retreated instinctively.
Oh no! She's awake!
How should he explain this?
He couldn't sleep, his mind filled with images of her, so he decided to climb through the window and check on her.
As he watched, he unconsciously kissed her...
He really is just—damn it! He doesn't even know what's wrong with him!
Although the night was dark, the dim yellow light in the room was enough for Ning Lang to see clearly the panic and helplessness in his eyes.
She was secretly angry, and slowly sat up.
What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?
He tried to avoid her, but she insisted on confronting him with questions.
Sheng Xuanjun's face turned bright red, his eyes darting around nervously. He sat up awkwardly, stammering, "...It's nothing."
Ning Lang raised an eyebrow, her eyes fixed on him.
"Nothing wrong? Then why did you come in? My door was tightly closed, and the windows were closed too. Don't tell me you were sleepwalking. I know perfectly well whether you, Sheng Xuan, have a habit of sleepwalking."
Sheng Xuan pursed her lips, unsure how to answer.
He did drink, but he wasn't drunk at all...
It seemed like he was just following his intuition without really understanding what was going on. He climbed through the window and came in, and then he kissed her without even realizing it.
Good heavens! How is he supposed to explain this to himself?!
Ning Lang simply pulled off the blanket and moved closer to him, inch by inch.
"Why are you climbing in through the window and kissing my forehead in the middle of the night? Don't tell me you climbed into the wrong room and kissed the wrong person? Ning Rui is next door, and Ning Zhang is over there. Who are you trying to kiss? Them?"
Sheng Xuan was extremely embarrassed and waved excitedly.
"What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't climb the wrong path! Why would I want to kiss those two rough men?!"
Ning Lang raised her chin and loudly questioned, "Then why did you kiss me? Why did you kiss me?"
"Shh!" Sheng Xuan panicked and jumped up: "Keep your voice down! Everyone's resting here, or they'll hear us!"
Ning Lang laughed and sneered, "You've done it, why are you afraid of others finding out? What are you afraid of? You know you've done something shameful?"
Sheng Xuan was both embarrassed and angry, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean by 'shameful'? Don't put it so harshly!"
"Then let me ask you—what is our relationship?" Ning Lang said in a deep voice, "What kind of relationship would allow you to sneak into my room in the middle of the night and kiss me on the forehead?"
Sheng Xuanjun's face flushed red, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
...What is the relationship?
How should he answer?
They are not related by blood, but she is now his closest person.
He and she were once the closest people in the law, but unfortunately they parted ways and divorced.
Now that the two of them are like this... what kind of relationship should we call them?
Ning Lang stared at him from the shadows, and when he didn't answer, she simply got off the bed and moved closer to him step by step.
"Sheng-Xuan! I asked you a question, why aren't you answering? What? You dare to do it but not admit it?"
He stood ramrod straight, looking at her aggressively pressing against his chest, and a surge of frustration and defeat welled up inside him.
He took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "No! I kissed you—because I wanted to kiss you! I wanted to kiss you—Ning Lang!"
