Chapter 446: Chapter 295: Relationship Breakthrough, a Passionate and Ardent Kiss
As Lu Mei opened the gift box and laid eyes on the Divine Domain Card,
Zhang Yi explained:
"After our virtual divine battle last time,
didn’t you say that some of the Sun God Birds in your Divine Realm had already self-destructed once and couldn’t do it again?"
"This Fire Attribute Five-star Divine Domain Card is a gift I prepared especially for you!"
"To solve that problem!"
As Lu Mei listened to Zhang Yi’s explanation and gazed at the Five-star Divine Domain Card before her, her eyes filled with a deeply moved expression.
Because of her looks and family background, it wasn’t as if other boys at school hadn’t pursued her, trying to catch her attention by giving her Five-star Divine Domain Cards.
But today, though it was another boy giving her a gift, the Five-star Divine Domain Card from Zhang Yi truly touched her heart.
"I just said that casually back then, and you still remember?"
Zhang Yi smiled. "Of course!"
Although Zhang Yi said it lightly,
Lu Mei knew that a Fire Attribute Divine Domain Card so perfectly tailored to her needs
could never have been chosen unless Zhang Yi had put his heart into it!
In fact, compared to the thought Zhang Yi had put into choosing this Divine Domain Card,
the value of the card itself was almost not worth mentioning.
After all, for a Middle-level Divine Family,
they could have as many Fire Attribute Five-star Divine Domain Cards as they wanted!
But no matter how "not worth mentioning" it was in relative terms,
to Lu Mei, who still relied on her family,
this was still an extremely precious Five-star Divine Domain Card of considerable value!
And so, a complex, warm current surged through Lu Mei’s heart, a mix of being touched and overjoyed!
As for Zhang Yi,
if his parents knew he was spending his allowance on gifts for a girl to get a girlfriend,
forget doubling his allowance,
they’d multiply it by ten!
To find a girlfriend like Lu Mei, who had the looks, the ability, and the family background,
his mom and dad would be more than willing!
They’d probably even offer to fully reimburse all his future expenses related to dating!
And on top of that, Zhang Yi would get a huge reward when he got home!
During last year’s New Year,
if it hadn’t been for the fact that his grandfather, Zhang Shumo, was only back for a short time—and was mainly focused on arranging Zhang Yi’s future and laying a solid foundation for him, thus not wanting any extra fuss—
his parents, who were already planning to find a fiancée for him, would have undoubtedly thrown the grand banquet they had envisioned!
Just as Lu Mei was about to say something, before the words could even leave her lips,
her gaze was drawn to the second layer of the gift box, which was revealed only after she lifted out the Five-star Divine Domain Card.
Lu Mei opened the second layer of the box.
There, nestled on a bed of soft, black swan feathers, lay a pair of earrings!
And what a pair of earrings they were!
They weren’t earrings of a traditional, common design.
Instead, they were like burning nebulas, subtly spinning!
The main body was a deep, brilliant red,
complemented by ear hooks woven from silver chains,
creating a sense of dynamic, exquisite beauty!
Lu Mei’s gaze was completely captivated by the pair of Nebula Earrings from Zhang Yi.
She rarely wore jewelry,
because she usually found such accessories to be cumbersome.
But this pair of earrings from Zhang Yi today completely changed her mind.
Seeing Lu Mei’s surprised expression, Zhang Yi felt a swell of pride, knowing he had chosen the perfect gift!
Then, seeing her lost in a state of shock and not responding,
Zhang Yi spoke softly:
"This pair of Nebula Earrings, aside from being beautiful, can also enhance the wearer’s Heart Spirit and strengthen their Fire Perception!"
"But the main reason,
is that when I saw this pair of earrings, an image of you wearing them just popped into my head."
"Only you are worthy of them!"
Of all the words Zhang Yi had just spoken, Lu Mei only heard the last sentence.
Lu Mei slowly raised her head to look at Zhang Yi.
The frost in her usually cool eyes had completely receded, leaving only the rippling waters of a melted spring.
Zhang Yi’s figure was clearly reflected in her eyes.
They revealed the joy, delight, excitement, shyness, and a deep affection that could no longer be concealed!
A blush bloomed on Lu Mei’s cheeks,
spreading all the way to the roots of her ears,
echoing the red earrings in her hand.
"Zhang Yi..."
Lu Mei called out softly.
Her voice was lighter than a feather, with a slight tremor.
"Hm?"
Zhang Yi responded, leaning down,
his upper body moving closer to Lu Mei’s shoulder.
Lu Mei bit her lower lip and silently cursed, ’Idiot!’
Then, as if having made some kind of decision,
she placed the gift box on the table, took out the pair of red Nebula Earrings, and grabbed a mirror, intending to put them on herself.
"Alright, give them to me!"
Seeing her fumbling clumsily, Zhang Yi snatched the pair of earrings right out of her hands.
Of course, Zhang Yi knew what Lu Mei was thinking.
He just couldn’t resist teasing her a little, seeing such a stark contrast to her usual cool demeanor.
The two were very close. Standing behind Lu Mei, Zhang Yi could clearly smell the fresh scent of her hair and feel her rapid breathing.
Zhang Yi got right to it!
Lu Mei’s body stiffened slightly, but she didn’t pull away. Instead, she obediently turned her head to the side, completely exposing her small, fair earlobe to Zhang Yi’s view,
making it easier for him to work.
Zhang Yi’s movements were light and steady.
With one hand, he pinched her exposed earlobe, and with the other, he held the red, nebula-shaped earring.
Then, he lined it up and hooked it on.
He repeated the process, and the task of putting on the earrings was complete.
In the process, Zhang Yi’s fingertips brushed against other parts of Lu Mei’s cheek and neck.
The touch of his fingers against her skin
made Lu Mei’s face turn even redder!
Once they were on, Zhang Yi took two steps back to get a better look.
The earrings, like burning nebulas, hung quietly from Lu Mei’s jade-like earlobes.
The fiery color formed a striking contrast with Lu Mei’s red hair, her cool, fair skin, and her exquisitely beautiful, aloof face!
Her cool beauty now exuded a fatal attraction!
"Beautiful!"
"Truly beautiful!"
Zhang Yi praised her sincerely, his gaze burning.
Lu Mei also looked at her reflection in the mirror.
With a peachy blush on her cheeks, her eyes clear as autumn pools, and that dancing cluster of red by her ears,
’Is this really the same me who, back in the Divine Clan, disliked adornments and gave off an aura of pushing everyone away?!’
However, the Lu Mei in the mirror,
was still missing something compared to the real Lu Mei—
the leaping flames!
Lu Mei turned, stood up, and faced Zhang Yi.
At this moment, Lu Mei finally stopped hiding her emotions.
Without any extra words,
Lu Mei took a step forward, stood on her tiptoes, and gently wrapped her arms around Zhang Yi’s neck.
Then, Lu Mei closed her eyes and pressed her rosy lips against Zhang Yi’s.
It was a fiery, passionate kiss, full of intense emotion!
Faced with Lu Mei’s kiss, Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment,
but then he unhesitatingly closed the distance between them, pulled Lu Mei into his arms, and fiercely returned the kiss!
The Nebula Earrings that Zhang Yi had just given her swayed between their cheeks, refracting a mesmerizing light under the lamps.
The air began to heat up, growing cloyingly sweet!
After a long time, their lips parted!
