Chapter 590 - First Kiss (1/2)

When Tang Xinyang and William arrived at the lower floor for the EMA members, there was an ongoing duel happening inside the ring.

The floor was very spacious and huge, but it was quite crowded than the upper floors.

Tang Xinyang's eyes were sparkling as she watched the two EMA experts exchange blows.

”That's a good shot!”

”What a smooth parry!”

”Wow! That baldy is quite strong!”

Tang Xinyang placed a bet for the huge bald-headed man on the ring to win. It did appear like the bald-headed man had the upper hand.

William who was initially grumbling about life also halted his thoughts and watched the fight inside the ring.

His eyes sparked with interest.

”Hmm... He might be strong, but I think the other guy will win this,” William stated his opinion.

”Eh? Why do you say that?” Tang Xinyang curiously asked.

”Baldy's punch is strong and forceful. However, during the whole match, he is using too much energy in attacking the other man. Do you see that none of his attacks properly landed on the tall guy? The tall guy is very keen on defense, his evasion techniques are very high-skilled. Can you see his left hand repeatedly feigning to attack? This induces the baldy to think he has the upper hand.”

Tang Xinyang looked at the tall guy's left hand that would attack from time to time but failed every time.

So it was not because the tall guy could not do it, but because he was feigning it?

”How did you know that he is feigning it?”

”Because his movements are practiced and has the right control. If he is really attacking, it should be like the Baldy's punch, strong and forceful.” William leaned towards Tang Xinyang closely and pointed at the tall guy's right arm. He did this so that only the two of them could hear what he was going to say.

”Look closely, focus on the tall guy's right arm. It slowly gathers qigong, very subtly.”

William's warm breath was hitting Tang Xinyang's cheeks.

The scent of Tang Xinyang's shampoo also reached William's nose.

It was a refreshing scent. Not too strong and not too sweet.

He liked it.

He involuntarily leaned closer and sniffed her hair.

'Oh, it must be lavender.'

William's focus shifted from the fight to Tang Xinyang's likable scent of shampoo.

Bang!

The tall guy used his right fist and punched the bald-headed man with qigong.

It was so sudden that the people watching cheered.

”Oh! You are right!”

With bright eyes, Tang Xinyang turned to William. But because William is too close, Tang Xinyang, who just turned her head around swiftly, accidentally brushed her lips against William's.

It was just a second yet William could feel the touch of the soft and warm lips.

William's eyes widened and he immediately took a step back. His hand covered his mouth.

Tang Xinyang was also surprised. After a momentary pause, she scratched her head. ”I am so sorry. I didn't know you are standing too close.”

William: ”...”

Then Tang Xinyang blinked at William. ”Hey. Why do you look so surprised? Don't tell me, is that your first kiss?”

”...No!”

”That's a relief! I thought I snatched your first.” Tang Xinyang patted her chest then looked at the ring. ”It's just as you said! The tall guy is actually waiting for the right timing...”

Tang Xinyang's words about martial arts blurred in William's ears.

William could only hear the loud thumping of his heart. He patted his chest.

He must be really surprised.

It was so sudden and his guard was down. That's why... He was so shocked.

He was no freaking v.i.r.g.i.n, dammit!

William lightly slapped his hot cheeks.

After calming down, he took a peek at the girl beside him.

Tang Xinyang's eyes were bright and sparkling as she watched and commented about the movements of the two men in the ring.

Clearly, she had already forgotten about the gaffe moments ago.

William stared at her.
