As Lin Xin'ai stepped into the peach blossom grove, she saw Li Cheng'an's back from afar and was momentarily stunned.
Li Cheng'an seemed to sense something and turned to meet her gaze.
Their gazes met in the air, like countless tiny sparks igniting each other's hearts.
A few peach blossoms drifted across his cheeks, the cool touch making Li Cheng'an realize that this was not a dream, and the person he longed for was right in front of him.
Thinking of this, he no longer wanted to gaze at her from afar.
The peach blossoms were still falling, but he didn't stop walking and soon stopped in front of her.
"Li Cheng'an, it's been a long time... a long time."
The man's gaze was so intense that Lin Xin'ai couldn't help but blush and stammered as she greeted him.
Li Cheng'an reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her head and greedily inhaling her fragrance.
"You smell so good! What did you put on your clothes?"
The man's nonsensical remark left Lin Xin'ai at a loss.
"I...I didn't wipe anything."
Because his head was nestled against his chest, his voice sounded muffled.
She never wears perfume, but she always has a natural fragrance about her; Zi Cheng has said that before.
His embrace was so warm; she suddenly felt that it would be nice if time could stand still at this moment.
But why did he hug her?
Lin Xin'ai couldn't quite understand it.
Li Cheng'an buried his head in her neck, his lips lightly brushing against her delicate skin, causing her to tremble.
"Lin Xin'ai, for the past ten years or so, I've been thinking about you. Do you miss me?"
Lin Xin'ai disregarded her shyness and pondered his words in her heart.
Didn't he know that his words could be misunderstood?
She gently pulled away from his embrace, staring intently into his eyes. "Why...why did you miss me?"
Is this the answer she had in mind?
What do you think?
Li Cheng'an leaned down and gently touched her upturned nose.
Looking at her rosy lips, he leaned forward and kissed them.
"Lin Xin'ai, do you know how I feel now?"
Lin Xin'ai covered her mouth in fright and stared blankly into his eyes.
Li Cheng'an's smile faded, and he became serious.
"Lin Xin'ai, I like you. I've liked you since I was little. Now that fate has brought us together, I can never let go of your hand."
The person she loves confesses his feelings to her, and Lin Xin'ai is now in a blissful state, but she is still trying to stay sober.
Didn't you hate me when we were kids?
"Fool, if I disliked someone, I would never let her come near me."
Li Cheng'an chuckled. He had helped her pick up trash back then, and followed her all the way home to ensure her safety.
Looking back now, Li Cheng'an, you were already deeply involved.
"And you? Do you like me?"
"I like you, I like you."
Lin Xin'ai's eyes sparkled as she eagerly expressed her love. After falling silent, she suddenly realized that she might have been a little too hasty.
As she blushed, the man held the back of her head, and the next second he sealed her lips with his. Unlike the previous fleeting touch, he lingered on her lips, probing little by little, and then slowly stealing her breath.
Lin Xin'ai had never been kissed before and had no idea how to respond, but his kiss was so intoxicating that she felt like she was about to faint.
It's unclear how much time passed, but the man finally released Lin Xin'ai when she was struggling to breathe.
"Heart, breathe."
The man's words instantly brought her back to her senses, and she quickly took shallow breaths.
Li Cheng'an was very satisfied with Lin Xin'ai's reaction; her heart still belonged to him.
Their foreheads touched, and he asked in a seductive tone, "Feeling better?"
"Mmm." Lin Xin'ai's eyes were glistening with tears. Under his mischievous smile, she blushed and turned her head away.
The next second, he cupped her little face in his hands and asked, "Xin Xin, has anyone ever kissed you?"
Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to ask it aloud.
"No, it's just you."
Lin Xin'ai responded softly, not wanting him to misunderstand.
She really likes being called "Xin Xin" (heart), it feels very intimate.
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Li Cheng'an smiled gently and stroked her little head.
"Xinxin, what's going on with Pan Guangyao?"
How do you know Brother Guangyao?
Lin Xin'ai immediately looked up, and the next second she suddenly realized that they had played ball together before.
Li Cheng'an's face darkened immediately. "I saw it last time. Your relationship is not that of ordinary friends."
That kid's eyes were fixed on Xin'ai; anyone with eyes could see he had ill intentions.
With him around, no other random men will be able to get close to Xin Xin.
Realizing that Li Cheng'an was angry, Lin Xin'ai quickly explained, "Guangyao, Zicheng, and I grew up together, so we're just good friends."
She cautiously tugged at the man's sleeve, "Cheng'an, please don't misunderstand?"
Seeing that her face was flushed with anxiety, Li Cheng'an said, "Give me a kiss."
To avoid making him angry, Lin Xin'ai tiptoed to kiss his cheek, but only touched it lightly before pulling away, blinking her big eyes at him.
"Not a kiss on the cheek, a kiss here." Li Cheng'an looked at her innocent eyes, pointed to his thin lips, and guided her step by step.
When their lips met, all his desire surged forth, his eyes suddenly deepened, and he took the initiative to kiss her fiercely, wishing he could devour her entire mouth.
"Hold me tight." He whispered in her ear during a brief moment of silence.
