245 From a Moment to an Eternity 6 (1/2)

The room was submerged in a curious silence.

…

It had not been Qin Yinan's intention to return to the city that day. However, he had received Tang Nuan's call that afternoon, saying she wished to have dinner with him and that she had something important to tell him in person.

The inspection around the construction was at a slow period. If not for the long commute, he would have chosen to just stay in the city.

After receiving Tang Nuan's phone call, Qin Yinan thought about it and eventually decided to meet her.

The village he stayed at didn't have a water supply, so he hadn't taken a bath in a few days. Qin Yinan planned to return home first to get into a fresh change of clothes before meeting Tang Nuan. However, the roads into the city were clogged due to weekend traffic. When he finally got into the city, it was already almost 7 pm.

The traffic didn't get better in town; Tang Nuan's house happened to be on his way home, so when he received the continuous stream of calls from Tang Nuan, he decided to just stop at her place first. The first thing he did was to use her bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he realized there was no towel in her bathroom, so he pulled open the door to ask for one from her.

What happened next shocked him.

In the years he had pursued Tang Nuan, their relationship had always been kept in an ambiguous stage, close but not intimate. In fact, they had even shared the same room during one of their outings.

However, their relationship wasn't physical. He could see that Tang Nuan still had her reservations about him.

Therefore, he was so surprised that after passing him the towel, Tang Nuan didn't leave but stood before him, studying him quietly. At the time, he was confused by her reaction. While he rubbed his hair dry, he wanted to ask her what was wrong, but before he could do so, she suddenly stood on her toes and leaned in to kiss him on his lips.
