A sudden impulse flashed in the girl's eyes, like a little cat sneaking a treat in the dead of night.
Her soft, pink lips, which had been pressed together, now quietly curved into an impossibly sweet smile.
There was no warning.
Just as the final, reverberating syllable of Shen Yuan's vow, "Just you wait, I'll ace this for you," had yet to fade—
Li Zhi, as light as a fluttering butterfly, rose onto her tiptoes, her entire body lifting a tiny inch.
Her slightly moist lips pressed against Shen Yuan's cheek, which was still tense from his declaration.
The touch was warm, soft, and gone in an instant.
SMACK—
An extremely faint, soft sound, infinitely amplified in the tiny space between them.
Shen Yuan felt a WHOOSH in his head, as if fireworks had just exploded inside his skull.
The resolute expression he wore a second ago instantly froze, and his entire body went still, as if someone had hit a pause button.
*Haaa...*
