Chapter 604: Chapter 243: Why Don’t You Just Stay Here Today?
The moment he leaned down.
Li Zhi’s eyelashes fluttered.
Without hesitation, without a second thought.
The beautiful young woman suddenly tilted her face up!
Her soft lips were the first to press against Shen Yuan’s!
"...!"
Shen Yuan’s mind went blank, roaring.
His intention to take the lead was utterly shattered by her unexpected initiative.
Her movements were a little clumsy and eager.
Her arms wrapped around his neck, tightening suddenly, her knuckles digging gently into the roots of his hair.
The initial clash of their lips was flustered, as if trying to convey all the day’s anticipation and excitement in a single kiss.
Quick, hot breaths ghosted across each other’s faces. In an instant, the fierce momentum softened into a clumsy, tender friction.
As if snapping out of a violent shock, a low, satisfied sigh escaped Shen Yuan’s lips.
The arm around her waist tightened slightly, as if trying to melt her slender form into his.
His other hand rose instinctively, his scorching palm cupping the back of her head.
His long fingers threaded through her soft hair, pressing her more firmly against him, leaving no room for her audacious assault to retreat.
San Geng and Naonao poked their little heads out curiously. Their round eyes watched the two people locked in a tight embrace on the bed as they tilted their heads.
Any sound was automatically filtered out, as if from a different world.
The only sonata in their small world was the exchange between their lips and the slight rustle of fabric.
Finally, when the air in their lungs was nearly depleted, they separated slightly, gasping for breath.
Li Zhi’s forehead rested against Shen Yuan’s, their noses nearly touching.
Her lips were moist and glistening, a tempting rosy red.
She shyly buried her face in the crook of Shen Yuan’s neck, gulping in air thick with his scent, feeling as if she’d just accomplished something earth-shattering.
Shen Yuan’s chest rose and fell as he looked down at the young woman in his arms, who seemed about to melt into a puddle.
The proactive, almost fierce kiss from moments ago was a stark contrast to the shy girl now hiding in his arms.
A low chuckle rumbled from Shen Yuan’s throat, tinged with unconcealable satisfaction.
"Li Bao..."
Shen Yuan paused deliberately, leaning closer. His warm breath brushed against the shell of her feverishly hot ear.
"What’s made you so bold today?"
His gaze was direct and searing.
Li Zhi’s heart fluttered in turmoil at the word "bold."
The beautiful young woman lifted her face from his neck to meet his teasing gaze. The competitive streak he’d ignited in her heart instantly overwhelmed her shyness.
Her cheeks were still flushed, but her eyes were astonishingly bright.
Far from retreating, she met his gaze and lightly bit her lower lip, which was still rosy and swollen from his kiss.
Then, to Shen Yuan’s slight astonishment, she leaned in closer.
"What’s wrong?"
Her voice trembled slightly. "Oh? Was I too bold for you?"
She paused and leaned even closer, their breaths mingling once more.
Li Zhi lowered her voice, the breathy whisper an indescribable temptation that slid into his ears.
"Did I make my move too fast? Did I catch you unprepared?"
With the last few words, her lips practically brushed against the corner of his mouth.
It was a provocative, alluring challenge, throwing his own comment about her boldness right back at him—doubled.
The easy smile playing on Shen Yuan’s lips instantly froze. A far more ferocious heat rushed straight to his head!
"Li Zhi!! This is criminal!"
The arm around Li Zhi’s waist tightened abruptly. With a searing heat, as if he had been completely set alight, he responded by kissing her back fiercely.
This was no longer a tentative exploration, but a far more intense exchange, as if they were vying for each other’s breath and for dominance.
Li Zhi’s arms around his neck tightened in response.
Lost in their passionate oblivion, their center of gravity shifted without them noticing.
Perhaps it was the direction Shen Yuan pulled, or perhaps Li Zhi lost her balance.
The two of them suddenly staggered and lost their balance!
"Mmph!"
With a cry of surprise, the two figures toppled backward uncontrollably.
The impact wasn’t hard; the mattress absorbed most of the blow.
Shen Yuan fell back onto the bed with Li Zhi sprawled on top of him.
The sudden weightlessness and change of position made them both freeze for an instant.
Their eyes met. The fiery passion within them had yet to fade, but it was frozen for a moment by their sudden, awkward predicament.
The bedroom light illuminated the scene, a freeze-frame that was both intimate and slightly comical.
Time seemed to stand still.
San Geng and Naonao straightened up, craning their furry little heads even closer, their round eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.
Lying on the soft bedding, Shen Yuan could clearly feel Li Zhi’s warm weight and her instantly rigid body on top of him.
Li Zhi propped herself up, her arms resting instinctively on his chest. They were pressed so close their noses were almost touching again.
The fiery passion that had threatened to blaze into an inferno just a second ago was interrupted by their sudden clumsiness, solidifying into a comical question mark hanging in the air.
Li Zhi’s beautiful eyes were wide with shock and surprise.
Shen Yuan’s eyes mirrored her dazed astonishment.
A beat of silence. Extremely brief, yet impossibly clear.
Then—
"...Pfft."
A vibration started in Shen Yuan’s chest, and an irrepressible puff of air escaped his throat.
It wasn’t quite a full laugh, more like an instinctive reaction leaking out at the accident and the absurd sight before him.
