CHAPTER 1503: CHAPTER 1504: KISS PROMISE

Wei Yingyue was taken aback for a moment, and after a brief silence, she spoke to you: "It’s just a trivial matter, you don’t need to worry. A-are you really okay?"

"Saying I’m okay would be lying to you." You forced a laugh, "But under these circumstances, I have to tough it out no matter what, or else I would really be breaking my word."

Calming down, Wei Yingyue tried to distract you, to make you feel better, by bringing up a topic: "Hearing you say that, it seems you value promises highly."

"Since I’ve promised, even if it costs my life, I must fulfill it no matter what.’ This was something my master told me years ago, and in the following years, I treated it as a principle of life, as well as my way of handling affairs."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yingyue raised her eyebrows and asked you, "In that case, I hope you can give me another promise."

"Hmm?" You looked at Wei Yingyue in slight surprise, not expecting her to make such a request under these circumstances.

Not giving you a chance to react, Wei Yingyue said, "Promise me, if I’m alive, you absolutely cannot die!"

You smiled; for the second time in front of Wei Yingyue, you showed such a genuine smile.

"Alright, I promise you." You agreed.

"Verbal agreement doesn’t count."

Wei Yingyue suddenly said this, leaving you bewildered: "Then what should we do? I can’t pinky swear right now, my body can’t move."

"You can’t move, but I can."

In the gap of her words, Wei Yingyue raised her head slightly, lifting her body a bit, and to your astonishment, her alluring red lips planted directly onto your firm mouth!

It was a brief touch.

Even so, the moment they touched, both experienced an incredibly wonderful feeling.

You looked at Wei Yingyue, unable to speak for a long time.

Wei Yingyue rested her forehead against yours, softly exhaling fragrant breath: "The promise is set, you must execute it well."

Their foreheads touched, and their eyes were locked onto each other’s.

The distance between their noses was barely one or two centimeters, and you instinctively inhaled the fragrant and pleasant breath Wei Yingyue exhaled.

This kiss, rather than just a promise, felt more like an oath from the heart. It required no excess words, nor any exaggerated vows of love, yet it was understood and felt in the shared gaze.

Your heart stirred; you were surprised to find your heart was moved at this moment.

Feeling the unique breath of Wei Yingyue, with each other’s warmth merging at the forehead, your heart began to race uncontrollably.

Compared to the leisurely and carefree feeling with Yan Zisu, what Wei Yingyue brought you at this moment was a deep inner touch.

You didn’t know if this meant love, but at least you didn’t dislike this subtle feeling now.

At this moment, within Wei Yingyue, there was also a wonderful feeling as this was her first kiss, in other words, her first ever.

When she was still in her teenage years, she once imagined in a season full of falling leaves, along a path in the woods, saying those three words to someone she liked, and then giving them her first kiss.

However, Wei Yingyue never found someone who could open her heart this way.

After her dreamy teen years passed, Wei Yingyue focused on her career. With more interactions with men, her aversion to them grew stronger and stronger.

For Wei Yingyue, who holds doctorates in marketing economics, psychology, and philosophy, falling in love with a man was truly difficult.

Wei Yingyue’s first impression of a person wasn’t their appearance, but their essence.

She didn’t have the insight to see through a person immediately, but usually, within three minutes, through brief communication, she could generally figure out the person’s character and preferences, and from there, deduce and mostly exclude that person from her life.

Being a talented and favored daughter, Wei Yingyue was never short of suitors, but these people typically appear three times before she permanently scratches their names off. She doesn’t even need to deliberately investigate them; through tiny, subtle details, she can assess and label them.

Every human being has flaws.

And Wei Yingyue’s personality easily magnifies these flaws to an unlimited extent.

With increasing status, her requirements for a partner also became increasingly stringent, so much so that over the years, no man has ever truly entered her life, let alone her heart.

This is an era of material desires surging, where people, both men and women, lost the purest part of their hearts in their ambitions,

With time, Wei Yingyue could say she became disillusioned with men.

Like many others, your appearance left no significant ripple in Wei Yingyue’s heart.

At that time, when she heard her father Wei Songbo saying she would cohabit with you, there wasn’t much resistance in Wei Yingyue’s heart. On one hand, she had a neutral impression of you, neither good nor bad; on the other, she wanted to try and see if she could get along with you. After all, in these years, men whom Wei Yingyue didn’t hate were really rare.

However, you never appeared afterward, leaving Wei Yingyue with an unprecedented tiny disappointment, a feeling akin to being an abandoned little girl.

She even wondered if she exposed some flaw in front of you, marking the first time in her life she doubted herself.

In the next period, you seemed to vanish out of thin air, and no matter how her grandfather and father inquired about or searched for you, that person who left a deep impression in her heart just disappeared like this.

Fate is unpredictable, and Wei Yingyue didn’t expect to see you on the plane heading to the disaster zone. You still left her with the stern impression she once had, unchanged in the slightest.

At this moment, both found themselves in peril; Wei Yingyue didn’t know whether she could return. Seeing you sacrifice so much for her, her heart had already melted, the frozen door slowly opened, and this kiss represented the beginning of her emotional journey.

In the enclosed space, both felt the air somewhat suffocating, though not due to a lack of oxygen. Even while being pressed underneath, you could feel a slight cold wind blowing through a left-side crack.

Wait!

Breeze!?

Realizing this, you suddenly turned your head. Due to the dim light, you couldn’t see clearly what was on your left, but when you calmed down, you indeed sensed a faint cold breeze blowing your way.

You anxiously said to Wei Yingyue: "Look to the left, see if there’s a crack?"

Wei Yingyue was taken aback, immediately reaching out to touch.

"It’s a wall," Wei Yingyue replied.

"Check more carefully, there should be a crack."
