CHAPTER 518: CHAPTER 378 TENT STORY

Li Jing said, "Looks like those two are still savoring what happened earlier."

Sophie couldn’t help but comment, "It’s already past midnight, they should sleep after finishing, yet they’re still chatting, their energy is unbelievable."

Though Sophie said this, the laughter from not too far away kept her awake.

Earlier, the sounds made her whole body feel hot; now, amidst the rustling noises, her mood was even harder to calm.

She turned over, trying to adjust her sleeping position, but ended up accidentally bumping directly into Li Jing’s arms.

Her face instantly changed slightly, suddenly reminded that the two were too close earlier, with Li Jing right behind her, facing her back.

As she turned over, not only did her arm fall into his embrace, but her hand accidentally brushed against Li Jing’s thigh, near a sensitive area.

In an instant, Sophie’s face burned red. Normally, she might have just shrugged it off, but after what happened earlier, she panicked and quickly said, "Sorry."

Li Jing found it amusing; Sophie had merely touched his thigh, really nothing serious.

Originally, he didn’t plan to say anything, but seeing Sophie’s reaction, he couldn’t help but tease, "Oh? Is your patience running thin, wanting to take advantage of me?"

"Who’s taking advantage of you? Don’t talk nonsense, okay?" Sophie immediately retorted, bashfully.

Li Jing wasn’t about to pass up this chance to tease, continuing with a joke, "Don’t worry, I’m generous; letting you take advantage isn’t out of the question.

However, I’m all about fairness, so how about I take advantage of you a little in return?"

Hearing this, Sophie’s face changed instantly, hurriedly pulling herself closer inside the sleeping bag, warning, "What are you trying to do?!"

Li Jing, seeing her reaction, laughed even harder: "Just kidding, no need to be so nervous."

Sophie pouted in dissatisfaction: "Who makes jokes like that?"

As they spoke, the laughter from Johnson and Maria nearby gradually faded, leading both to think they were finally preparing to sleep.

Yet soon, familiar sounds came again, albeit much softer than before.

But the clear rhythm and breathing sounds unmistakably indicated they had started again.

Hearing this, Sophie transitioned from initial embarrassment to sheer disbelief, murmuring, "Their energy is too much, seriously? Are all Europeans and Americans like this?"

Li Jing was also surprised by their energy, a thought even fleetingly crossed his mind: "Could these two have some peculiar habits, deliberately making noise for others to hear?"

Though the thought quickly passed. He shook his head, trying to dismiss this absurd notion from his mind.

Yet, the incessant sounds made it impossible to ignore, forcing them to endure the awkward atmosphere.

Even Li Jing, normally calm, felt a stir within after listening to hours of sound akin to a "sound film."

Especially with a beautiful, long-legged woman right beside him.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but speak, "Sophie."

Sophie heard Li Jing call her name, and murmured a soft "Hmm?" in confusion.

Li Jing half-jokingly asked, "Haven’t you tried this before? How about I teach you tonight?"

On hearing this, Sophie’s body noticeably tensed.

She almost immediately wanted to refute him, but for some reason, she swallowed her words, opting for silence.

Not getting a direct refusal from Sophie, Li Jing raised an eyebrow, sensing potential, and continued, "How about I teach you to kiss?"

Sophie scoffed, "Who doesn’t know how to kiss? Do you take me for a little kid?"

Li Jing chuckled, "Oh? So does this mean you’ve kissed someone before?"

"I haven’t!" Sophie immediately countered.

As the words left her mouth, she realized she had fallen into Li Jing’s trap, protesting: "I haven’t kissed anyone, but I’ve seen others do it, okay? And kissing isn’t complicated; everyone knows how."

Li Jing shook his head, "Not necessarily; there are many ways to kiss. Without trying for yourself, you’ll never know the subtleties."

Despite knowing Li Jing was teasing her, Sophie’s heart still felt a twinge of unusual emotion.

Especially after today, her feelings toward the man before her had unknowingly shifted.

Seeing Sophie once again silent and hesitant, Li Jing knew she was still pondering, opting not to say more and instead closed his eyes, waiting for her decision.

The tent returned to quiet, save for the rhythmic breaths from the other tent nearby.

With the sounds outside and Li Jing silent, Sophie’s emotions were chaotic, tangled, unable to speak despite several attempts.

Night fell quietly, leaves rustling softly in the wind.

The other tent continued producing waves of heavy breathing, causing Sophie further turmoil, feeling hot.

Moreover, she was already so close to Li Jing, feeling his breath clearly, adding to her restlessness, unable to control her thoughts.

Eventually, perhaps thinking it might be hard to see him again, or influenced by the moment wanting to be bold, not wanting regrets, Sophie finally raised her eyes, looking towards Li Jing in the darkness, speaking softly, "Li Jing..."
