Chapter 435: Fooled Into A Kiss
“Actually, today is our anniversary. You promised me we’d go on a date.”
“I never imagined it would turn out like this…”
“Even though I know your current situation is only temporary, I still—”
“To be forgotten by someone important… it’s so painful…”
Tao Jiu’er covered her face with her hands, as if trying to control her emotions. Her sobs were as gentle as the wind in the night sky, trembling slightly and barely perceptible.
Yun Zhonghe’s heart jolted with guilt. He had been completely fooled by Tao Jiu’er’s superb acting and felt a twinge of guilt.
Forcing a girl to cry should always be the guy’s fault, no matter what!
Without hesitation, Yun Zhonghe got up and pulled the teary-eyed Tao Jiu’er into his embrace.
“S-sorry, Jiu’er, I really shouldn’t have forgotten you!”
Surprised by the sudden hug from Yun Zhonghe, Tao Jiu’er’s heart skipped a beat.
T-the Young Master’s hug is so… firm!
Though she started with a playful attitude, things had developed to a point she never expected, causing her to sink deep into this moment, unable to escape.
So… so exciting!
This hug, she had longed for it!
“Young Master~” Tao Jiu’er feigned frailty, resting her head on Yun Zhonghe’s shoulder. Her voice was laced with a mix of coquettishness and shyness. “Being held like this makes memories flood back.”
Unlike Tao Jiu’er, who was reveling in the interesting turn of events, Yun Zhonghe’s face was already redder than a flower in April.
He could feel Tao Jiu’er’s warm breath on his neck, each breath igniting a fire in his heart. The person in his arms was so soft and delicate!
His heart pounded fiercely, as if it would burst out of his chest.
At this point, Yun Zhonghe no longer doubted the authenticity of these feelings. He realized he genuinely liked Tao Jiu’er.
These feelings had to be real!
Seeing Yun Zhonghe’s flushed face, Tao Jiu’er smirked slyly.
Her words were half-true, half-false, and even the astute Yun Zhonghe had been thoroughly bamboozled, his face a crimson flush that made him look like a naive virgin.
This Yun Zhonghe, delicious like a little cake, seemed so tempting that she wanted to gobble him up.
After all, he wouldn’t remember anything right now; being a bit wild might be okay, right?
“Hey, Young Master,” said Tao Jiu’er, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her forehead to his.
She raised her gaze, her blue eyes seemingly speaking, sparkling with allure as they met Yun Zhonghe’s stare.
Her blue eyes were so beautiful, Yun Zhonghe thought admiringly. They shimmered like the depths of the ocean.
With them so close, he could even feel Tao Jiu’er’s warm breath caressing his cheek, making his heart race. He nearly couldn’t breathe.
Tao Jiu’er smiled sweetly, “Can we kiss?”
Yun Zhonghe: “Huh? ????”
He looked utterly confused.
Things seemed to have progressed too quickly, and he hadn’t sorted out the situation yet.
Yun Zhonghe felt as if his brain was melting under the heat.
“N-no… no, I meant I’m not ready for this, it feels too sudden…”
“Please,” stammered Yun Zhonghe, but Tao Jiu’er cut him off, pretending to pout and stick out her lips like a spoiled child. “Today is our anniversary, even just once, consider it compensation for forgetting me earlier.”
“Bu-bu-but…”
Panicking, Yun Zhonghe was overwhelmed by how intense it all felt.
“Is it not okay?” Tao Jiu’er asked softly, her voice quivering slightly like the first trickle of water seeping over moss after the ice cracks, her icy blue eyes gleaming with a mix of anticipation and unease.
Yun Zhonghe opened his mouth to say something, then blew out tense breaths, utterly bewildered as Tao Jiu’er led him along, making it impossible for him to think clearly.
He was overwhelmed with an indescribable nervousness, his heart racing. He couldn’t tell whether Tao Jiu’er, so close to him, could hear the pounding in his chest.
But little did Yun Zhonghe know, Tao Jiu’er was facing a similar test.
Her heart was also turbulent, filled with a mix of excitement and fear.
She could feel Yun Zhonghe’s breathing turn heavy and urgent. Their lips were mere millimeters apart.
The air seemed to swirl with the sweetness of ripe peaches, a honeyed scent enveloping them, both warm and intoxicating.
Tao Jiu’er’s peach-pink hair was silky and wound around Yun Zhonghe’s hand. Her skin was so smooth, like the whitest clouds, tempting him closer and tempting him to explore its texture.
Yun Zhonghe clenched his fist, feeling his internal urges almost break free from rational control.
He couldn’t resist such sweet temptation! In his heart, a flame surged, burning fiercely. He yearned to passionately kiss the beauty before him. Her perfectly glossy, plump lips shimmered under the light, silently inviting him, making him lose himself.
For partners, kissing should be a common and intimate gesture, right?
Closing his eyes, Yun Zhonghe took a deep breath and leaned in!
Tao Jiu’er: !!!
Their lips touched, and she felt an electric shock, drawing in a sharp breath. She immediately felt a sweet sensation spreading through her, her breath trembling.
They… really kissed!
Although she initiated this tease, based on her understanding of Yun Zhonghe, he had a fifty-fifty chance of retreating out of shyness or hesitation.
To her surprise, the Young Master, after losing his memory, had become more audacious.
And… he even… pushed further, their kiss lingering tenderly!
So eager! Is this his first time being this hasty?
“Mmm~~”
Tao Jiu’er moaned softly. Her eyelashes dropped, hiding her eyes, her face turning increasingly flushed, as if about to bleed.
Their breaths intertwined, each feeling the other’s warmth. Both Yun Zhonghe and Tao Jiu’er felt their hearts might explode.
Mind blank, they naturally opened their eyes slightly, their gazes meeting with a mixture of shyness and sweetness.
The air thickened, as if time itself froze for this instant. The whole world seemed to pause for them.
Right now, their world only contained their synchronized breathing.
This kiss, Tao Jiu’er had waited a long time for.
