856 He Was Right About Her (1/2)

She could taste the herbal fragrance in his mouth. She could distinctly feel the warmth of his lips. Even the texture of his lips was now a known variable. They were firmer than hers. A man’s lips could never be quite as soft as a woman’s.

Her body was frozen. She tried so hard to suppress the thought of escaping so she could feel Long Siye's kiss. His breath was scorching, and Gu Xijiu felt a little uncomfortable as it felt like a dragon was breathing down her neck.

It was not right. There was no thundering heartbeat, no dazzling sensation. She could even tell that his lips were a little dry. The exchange was becoming a little too unbearable.

Their lips had only touched for two seconds, but Gu Xijiu could no longer stand it. She raised her head and pushed Long Siye away abruptly. She then teleported and shifted herself out of the tent.

”Xijiu…” Long Siye’s heart sank as he followed her out.

Gu Xijiu was utterly confused and disconcerted, ”Overlord Long, I am sorry.” She turned and teleported away without collecting the flowers.

Long Siye was dumbfounded as he stood still. The flowers swayed, and they could be heard brushing against each other in the wind. When the sky turned bright, these incredibly beautiful flowers would eventually wither away and wilt.

Would his love story be the same as these Meiyue flowers? A glamour that only lasted a moment? His fingers were cold. He felt as though he had fallen into a deep abyss, overwhelmed with immensely frightening despair.

…

When Gu Xijiu finally made it back to her house, the day was beginning to break with subdued light. The soft rays of the morning sun slowly covered the distant sky.

Her heart was rumbling, but her limbs were cold. She wanted to lie down and have a rest. However, she could feel the unsettlement in her chest.
