Shi Yan froze in place, and within a second, it was as if all his senses were lost, leaving only the soft touch of his lips.

His dark pupils froze slightly, and he lowered his eyes in disbelief, looking at the girl who was very close to him, and then his eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, as if to confirm the reality of the moment.

Sheng Yuan lightly touched Shi Yan's lips, but moved away after two seconds. However, she did not move too far away. She stopped at a place where she could still breathe closely, then tiptoed slightly and kissed Shi Yan's lips again.

He repeated the three words clearly, "I like you."

After she finished speaking, Sheng Yuan realized belatedly that her face was a little hot. She loosened her fingers that were grasping Shi Yan's collar and prepared to retract her raised feet, but she didn't notice that Shi Yan's eyes had become deep.

The next second after leaving Shi Yan's lips, Shi Yan had already lowered his head. He couldn't help but chase after her and put his lips back on hers.

The waist and the back of the neck were embraced at the same time, and Sheng Yuan was held in Shi Yan's arms.

It was a gesture that left her no way out.

It was also different from Sheng Yuan's light touch just now. Shi Yan felt as if he had been waiting for this moment for too long, and kissed her with an eagerness to get close to Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan felt her lips being bitten lightly, but it released in an instant, and then the other party quickly soothed the bitten area without giving her any time to react.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked straight into Shi Yan's dark and cold eyes. The gaze they exchanged was so bright that it made her heart palpitate for a moment.

Shi Yan glanced at her and closed his eyelashes. His long, beautiful knuckles clasped the back of her neck tensely because of nervousness. He tilted his head, and pressed his tall nose against her cheek. He rubbed it again and again with awkward movements but unwilling to let go.

The light from the ceiling lamp shone down on his black hair, his cold and handsome eyebrows, and his cold, white and clean skin.

Sheng Yuan smelled a pleasant and refreshing cedar scent, and soon her entire breath was filled with the smell, filling all her senses, making her feel dizzy and her eyelashes trembling.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but with a "hmm" sound, Sheng Yuan couldn't help but try to take a step back, and then she succeeded. However, Shi Yan stepped forward immediately, and he still refused to let go, and the situation did not change at all.

“…”

The sound of kissing next to her ear made Sheng Yuan feel her cheeks getting hotter. Her breathing began to become a little obstructed, so she reached out and gently pushed Shi Yan.

Shi Yan let go of Sheng Yuan. Sheng Yuan just felt like she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but then she saw Shi Yan lower his head and couldn't help but gently touch her lips twice.

"..." Just when Sheng Yuan thought that Shi Yan was going to kiss her again, Shi Yan stopped moving. It turned out that it was just a simple touch.

He had thin lips that were glistening with water, and his dark eyes were bright. He stared at Sheng Yuan without blinking, and the cold white skin under his ear was flushed red.

His expression began to become unnatural, as if he was a little... shy, making people think that he and the person who had just kissed Sheng Yuan were completely different people.

“…”

Sheng Yuan felt a little embarrassed by his stare, so she dodged his gaze and spoke slowly, "Um, Shi Yan, I want to drink some water."

"Okay." His originally low-pitched voice was slightly hoarse because of the kiss. -In the living room, the TV that had been neglected for a long time was finally turned on, playing a recently popular TV series, with the voices of the characters and background music.

Sheng Yuan sat on the sofa, holding the glass in both hands, drinking the water in the glass that was diluted to the right temperature sip by sip.

After drinking, she put the cup back on the coffee table, and the glass made a slight clash sound.

Shi Yan was sitting next to her, his hands resting on his knees, his eyes lowered, his sparse long eyelashes hiding the emotions in his eyes. When he saw Sheng Yuan finish drinking the water, he immediately looked up and asked her, "Do you want to drink more?"

Sheng Yuan shook her head and said no.

Shi Yan lowered his eyes again. Sheng Yuan curiously turned sideways, looked for his eyes, and whispered, "Shi Yan, what are you thinking about?"

Sheng Yuan had never expected such an answer. She found it a little funny, yet also touched by the cuteness of the cub.

Then she told him in a serious and malicious tone, "Yes, you are indeed dreaming."

The moment she finished speaking, Sheng Yuan clearly saw Shi Yan's pupils froze for a moment, as if he really believed what she said. Then he really showed a look of loss and looked at her with grievance.

How could he be so cute? Sheng Yuan couldn't help but smile, but she couldn't bear it. She lowered her head and held Shi Yan's hand on her knee. His hand was much bigger, and Sheng Yuan couldn't hold it completely, so she pinched his slender knuckles with her soft fingers.

Then ask him, "Do you feel it?"

Shi Yan also lowered his head and looked at the two people holding hands. He shook her hands unconsciously and then answered honestly.

"have."

Sheng Yuan smiled, "If you have feelings, then it's not a dream, do you know?"

"Really?" He asked her doubtfully.

"real."

Hearing Sheng Yuan's answer, Shi Yan's eyes brightened a little, as if he would believe her if she told him it was a dream, and he would also believe her without hesitation if she said it was not a dream.

Shi Yan looked at Sheng Yuan intently for a while, then said, "Can you tell me you love me again?"

He looked a little nervous and uneasy.

Sheng Yuan readily said, "I like you."

Then he said it a second time, "I like you the most."

Shi Yan still looked at Sheng Yuan and continued to ask, "Can you kiss me again?"

Sheng Yuan didn't hesitate. As the two of them were holding hands, she tilted her head and moved closer, touching Shi Yan's lips with hers, making a very small "chirp" sound.

After she stepped back, she saw Shi Yan still raising his hand and touching the spot she had kissed. His eyebrows were cold, his eyelashes were very long, and he looked a little dazed. He murmured to himself, "It's not a dream."

"Yes, it wasn't a dream." Sheng Yuan observed Shi Yan's expression and asked him in a low voice, "Yan, were you still angry with me at that time?"

Shi Yan seemed to have heard a very serious question. His gaze towards Sheng Yuan became somewhat persistent, and he spoke seriously, enunciating each word.

"If you like me, I won't be angry."

"If you don't like it——"

Before Sheng Yuan finished speaking, Shi Yanqi's eyes turned colder and he interrupted her, "Angry."

"I like you, so can you please stop being mad at me?"
