CHAPTER 1646: CHAPTER 1468: ENDING

Xia Dabao hadn’t expected that this time, she simply couldn’t push Long Aixi away, as he held her tightly in his arms.

"Xiao’ai, what... what do you want to do?" Xia Dabao only felt that Long Aixi’s gaze was off this time, so she didn’t struggle, but there was an obvious anger in her, disliking his forcefulness.

"Dabao, you’re not young anymore, are you? You know what I want to do!" Having said that, Long Aixi kissed Xia Dabao.

"..."

Xia Dabao didn’t know how to recall that afternoon’s scene, nor how to describe that kiss.

She had thought she would be angry, that she would be furious, and that she would definitely slap Long Aixi across the face afterward.

But the moment his cool lips touched hers, her mind went blank.

It was like being in the middle of a vast sea, where the sound of surging waves was everywhere. As his kisses grew more intense, she felt as though she was in a sea of fire, so hot that she couldn’t even control her breathing.

It wasn’t until she was almost suffocating that he finally let her go.

She gasped for air, looking at Long Aixi in front of her, suddenly feeling that he was no longer the little boy who happily messed around behind her. He had truly become a man, every move revealing the air of a mature man.

He said, "Dabao, you’re not young anymore."

You knew it!

He still looked at her with his burning gaze, unafraid of her anger, with no intention of apologizing, as if he could do it all over again if she wasn’t satisfied.

She fled in panic.

...

After that afternoon, Nan Feng noticed that Xia Dabao was reluctant to go to Long Aixi’s room.

Since Long Aixi had been injured, Xia Dabao probably felt grateful and guilty, so she liked to go to his room to bring him food. But now, when asked to deliver food, she would have Axian do it; when asked to bring medicine, she also sent Axian.

Had Long Aixi said something that hurt Xia Dabao?

Xia Dabao didn’t want to see Long Aixi, and Long Aixi also didn’t mention Xia Dabao. Axian brought him food and he ate; Axian offered him medicine and he applied it without fail. One day, as he got up and leaned against the wall to go to the latrine, he happened to run into Xia Dabao. Without greeting her, he simply passed by indifferently. Later, it was Xia Dabao who turned back to look at Long Aixi, hesitating to speak.

The two acted as if they didn’t know each other. Nan Feng didn’t know why but felt the mentality of young men and women was truly incomprehensible.

Actually, Xia Dabao’s heart was always in turmoil.

She didn’t want to face Long Aixi because of that kiss.

Long Aixi had kissed her before, but those were mere pecks, like a dragonfly skimming the water. Moreover, he cared about her feelings, and afterwards, he’d coax her like she was his heart, afraid that she’d get angry and ignore him, like a little boy who’d done something wrong.

But now, this was a deep kiss, a passionate kiss between a man and a woman. This kiss had cleanly torn their ambiguous relationship apart, making her realize he was no longer just a playmate, no longer a simple suitor; she couldn’t play dumb anymore.

If she liked him, she would accept him.

If she didn’t like him, then she shouldn’t associate with him anymore.

And his current attitude seemed to be the same: he wasn’t going to play cat and mouse with her anymore, teasing her here and there. He wanted a definite answer, and wouldn’t allow her to hesitate any longer.

But the colder the war between them, the less Xia Dabao could sit still.

She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart couldn’t help but tremble.
