Chapter 464: Just a Kiss, and She Fainted?
“Y-Young Master… please don’t…”
Tao Jiu’er’s voice was as delicate as a mosquito buzzing, tinged with a mix of shyness and panic.
Yun Zhonghe’s warm breath brushed against her ear, sending a tingle down her spine and painting her earlobes a bright red. She instinctively tried to push him away, but instead, he hugged her tighter, amplifying Tao Jiu’er’s embarrassment and fluster.
Everything was happening so suddenly; she felt utterly unprepared. Her emotions felt like the budding flowers of spring, swaying gently and leaking a sweetness that intertwined with her panic, turning her cheeks a fiery shade.
Just moments ago, she was tangled in her thoughts about how to face Yun Zhonghe, and now his sudden move had scattered her confusion to the wind.
So intense, so overwhelming, it felt like she couldn’t breathe!
What happened to the Young Master? Did he forget everything again?
Tao Jiu’er’s thoughts whirled around, filled with questions.
But based on Yun Zhonghe’s earlier reaction, it likely wasn’t amnesia.
So, the only explanation was… Yun Zhonghe finally got it?
“Y-Young Master…”
She felt hot all over, as if something inside her was about to be unleashed.
Could it be… the Young Master is going to do that with me?
It’s all my fault! I took advantage of his amnesia and did those things!
Just thinking about it made her heart race like a drum, her mind a jumbled mess.
She was sure it was her fault that Yun Zhonghe was acting so weird.
His feelings had awakened because of her.
Since the root of all this chaos was her, wasn’t it her responsibility to help resolve it~?
“Uh, Young Master…” Tao Jiu’er’s face was beet red, her words stuttering, as if there was a fire in her chest making her breath come out hot, “If we have to do that… not here, please… Leling is watching…”
“Hm? Sister Jiu’er, what are you talking about?”
Yun Zhonghe looked at her, completely bewildered, his clear eyes as blank as a sheet of paper.
Tao Jiu’er froze.
Was it just her imagination? Or was he just trying to tease her?
Yun Zhonghe released her and walked over to Chen Leling, giving her a warm and intimate hug.
“Woohoo~~~ Love it~~~”
Chen Leling was overjoyed, completely oblivious to the awkwardness behind Yun Zhonghe’s embrace, welcoming it enthusiastically.
Those ample bosoms were squished out of shape!
But normally, such close contact would make Yun Zhonghe’s heart race, his face flush. But today, he appeared astonishingly calm, as if it was just a typical friendly greeting.
He didn’t even realize anything was amiss!
However, when he unintentionally caught the complex look on Tao Jiu’er’s face, he turned back, curiosity and concern in his eyes, “What’s wrong, Sister Jiu’er? Am I doing something wrong?”
Not just wrong, but totally off the charts!
This was too much! That last move was super intense, and Tao Jiu’er definitely needed to cool off.
It was clear that while Tao Jiu’er had been playing her game with Yun Zhonghe, she couldn’t handle being toyed with like that—she felt like she might burst!
She hurriedly grabbed a cup of water from the table, gulping it down to calm herself.
But just then, Yun Zhonghe called out again, “Sister Jiu’er.”
That call was like a thunderclap in her ear, making her so nervous she nearly spat the water out.
She quickly lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, her voice a mere stammer, “Wh-What is it?”
“I’m a bit thirsty too. Can I have a sip?”
As he spoke, Yun Zhonghe reached for the cup that Tao Jiu’er had just drank from.
Tao Jiu’er blinked in shock, “W-Wait a second…”
She didn’t expect Yun Zhonghe to take her used cup so casually.
Before she could protest, he was already chugging it down!
Isn’t this like an indirect kiss?
Well, considering she’d done all that with Yun Zhonghe before, an indirect kiss hardly mattered, but what got her was how unreserved he was about it.
Finally, she mustered her courage, her voice tinged with both shyness and a hint of reproach, “Young Master, the place you just drank from… that was my spot…”
Yun Zhonghe blinked innocently, “Is Sister Jiu’er very concerned about that?”
To her surprise, he flipped the script on her, making her flustered and completely at a loss.
She shook her head, “It’s not that I mind… it’s just… that counts as an indirect kiss, right? … Huh?!!”
But the next second, Yun Zhonghe went straight for her lips.
Tao Jiu’er: ???
Her eyes widened, confusion filling her face as if she was about to burst.
Since she’d just drunk water, her lips were particularly moist—like jelly, delightfully tasty.
Yun Zhonghe not only kissed her deeply, but even extended his tongue to gently lick her lips.
That inexplicable sensation made all the fine hairs on her body stand at attention.
After what felt like an eternity, Yun Zhonghe finally let her go, wearing a proud and smug expression as if he’d done something incredibly right!
Tao Jiu’er’s expression at that moment was more dramatic than any opera well could describe—her mouth half-open, completely dazed.
“Y-Y-Young Master… what did you just… (still dazed)”
Seeing her utterly perplexed, Yun Zhonghe leaned down again, planting another kiss on her.
Tao Jiu’er: !!!
Tao Jiu’er: “Huh?!”
How did Yun Zhonghe suddenly get so good at this? It made her break out in a cold sweat, her eyes glazing over.
A bright smile crept onto Yun Zhonghe’s face, “Now you see, Sister Jiu’er.”
Tao Jiu’er couldn’t process what was happening.
She was truly at a loss for words.
Amid a dazed chorus of “Ah… ah… ah…,” her mind seemed to be struck by an invisible force, rendering it completely blank as steam seemed to rise from her head, and she fainted away.
“Sister Jiu’er? Sister Jiu’er!”
Afterwards, Yun Zhonghe hurriedly took Tao Jiu’er to the infirmary.
Fortunately, they found out she merely fainted and nothing serious was wrong.
…
“Why did Sister Jiu’er suddenly faint? Did I do something weird?”
On his way back alone, Yun Zhonghe scratched his head, completely mystified.
To him, it felt like they’d just shared a friendly greeting, and she’d fainted from sheer excitement.
This was a bit ridiculous.
Indeed, Yun Zhonghe’s understanding of common sense was currently undergoing a serious distortion!
Thanks to the substance within the Black Crystal Stone, his state of mind had taken a tiny little twist!
