Chapter 891 - Responsibility For Kissing (2/2)

She yelled his name, but the rain and crowd overlapped her voice. However, she doesn't stop and squeeze through the many people to get to him.

”Lin Hui, wait. I— ah!”

Just as she was about to reach him, she bumped into a passerby and stumbled forward.

Her eyes widened, knowing she was falling but seeing that Lin Hui wasn't too far from her, she stretched out her arms.

She was already falling. What is there to lose other than to try and stop him from leaving?

Lin Hui was about to wear his helmet when he heard a woman's yelp from behind. He frowned and thought the voice sounded familiar but shrugged his shoulders and proceeded to put on his helmet.

”What the—”

Before he could put on his helmet, he exclaimed in shock. Someone had yanked the back collar of his jacket from behind. He chokes a cough, and his body is pulled backward, dropping his helmet.

As his body fell back, he could see whoever pulled him from the corner of his eyes and glance to see who had dared to do such a thing.

His hands curled into tight fists, and he was ready to strike the person down. However, when he saw that it was Qin Xue, his eyes widened in surprise.

He was falling backward, and she was falling forward.

As the thought flashed in his mind, his eyes widened more when he realized something.

She was going to fall on his motorcycle.

Whether he was worried about her getting hurt or his motorcycle, he turns his body to the side and wraps one arm around her. He swiftly pulls her back, thinking he had caught her fall. However, to his surprise, he slips from the rain and falls onto the ground, bringing her along with him.

He stares as Qin Xue lands on top of him, but his eyes widen when he sees her face coming closer and closer until he feels something soft press against his lips.

His mind turned blank, and his eyes could see that Qin Xue's expression was no different from his.

It was like time had slowed down, and the rain falling in all directions seemed to have disappeared.

The people walking by witnessed the scene and gasped in surprise as whispers sounded.

It was only then that Lin Hui came to his senses. Although he couldn't believe that this caused his first kiss, he quickly pulled himself together and pushed her off of him. Of course, he made sure not to hurt her in the process.

”I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen.”

Qin Xue frantically apologizes when she too comes to her senses. She stood up with his help, but her blushing cheeks were visible for all to see.

Hearing her apologize again, Lin Hui couldn't help but sigh. He was going to tell her to stop with the apology but seeing that people were looking at them, he frowned.

He takes a step to block her from the many eyes and scowl at the uninvited audience.

”Enough with the staring. There's no show for you to see here.”

Coming face to face with his murderous stare, everyone scrambles away. As much as they were curious about what happened, it was best for them to go on with their day.

Qin Xue was in a daze while trying to process what had just happened. One moment she was looking for him, then grabbed him while she was falling, and before she knew it, she was already on top of him with their lips touching.

She slowly raised her left hand and touched her lips. She could still feel the touch of his lips on her.

”Miss Qin.”

Lin Hui's voice suddenly brought her back from her daze. She looks at him, but her eyes are glued to his lips, and she swallows a gulp.

”I…”

She utters one word before swallowing the remaining words. Her brain seemed to have stopped working.

”It's alright.”

Lin Hui thought that what happened had shocked her to the core. He decides to be calm and walks to pick up his dropped helmet.

”Don't worry. What happened was an accident. I won't tell anyone about it.”

He holds his helmet up and inspects it. However, seeing a small crack on the face shield, he sighs inside.

His helmet is not good to wear anymore.

He places it on the seat of his motorcycle and opens the little storage compartment at the front. He takes out a black umbrella and walks to where Qin Xue was standing.

He opens it and hands the umbrella to her.

”Take this. Go home and change, or you'll catch a cold.”

Qin Xue watched his every move and saw the different expressions he made until he was in front of her again. She looks at his hand holding the umbrella then takes it from him.

However, instead of holding the handle, she places her hand over his and looks up at his eyes.

Her expression turned soft, and a faint smile curled on her lips.

”My mother is wrong. You are not like other people.”

Lin Hui was confused by her gesture but to hear her words, he was even more confused. He parts his lips to ask what she meant, but before he could make a sound, her following words muddled him beyond anything in his life.

”I'll take full responsibility for kissing you.”

She looks at him with a severe expression.

”I really mean it.”

”…”
