"Since you're not unwilling to come out, why aren't you speaking?" Qin Jiujiu asked directly.
Her gaze was sincere, and Xie Jing couldn't help but reply, "Don't women like men who are quiet?"
Qin Jiujiu didn't know where he had heard such a fallacy. She couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xie Jing, not knowing why she was laughing, stared at her intently, finding her every smile and frown so captivating.
Qin Jiujiu looked at Xie Jing, about to explain, when she noticed his gaze was ardent and honest, as clear as a lake, as bright as the moon.
Qin Jiujiu's heart skipped a beat. She avoided his gaze and asked, "Who taught you that? I don't like men who don't talk!"
As if thinking of something, Qin Jiujiu's face inexplicably flushed red.
System: Women just love to say one thing and mean another. The host clearly likes the silent villain, Xie Jing!
Then the system realized this was somewhat perverted and didn't continue its rant.
Xie Jing lowered his body. Before Qin Jiujiu could notice, he had already leaned his head towards her. She felt his breath on her face and then looked up, only to meet his gaze.
"Then what kind of man do you like?" His eyes were as deep and mysterious as the night sky, so profound and yet so gentle, stirring the heart.
Perhaps it was his breath that disturbed her heart, or perhaps it was his words that unsettled her. Qin Jiujiu's heart pounded like a drum. Xie Jing was so close that he could naturally hear it.
Silence spread between them. Their breaths grew increasingly heated. Qin Jiujiu wore a veil, so Xie Jing couldn't see her expression clearly and, naturally, didn't know that her face was flushed crimson.
Qin Jiujiu took a step back. Xie Jing followed her movement, and the distance between them seemed to shrink even further.
His breath brushed against her face, tickling her.
Qin Jiujiu lowered her eyes, calmed her racing heart, and then looked up at him again.
Just as she looked up, his lips landed on her forehead, where a peach blossom mark was drawn.
The peach blossom on her forehead bloomed brilliantly, appearing delicate and alluring. Xie Jing stared intently for a long time before finally kissing it.
He closed his eyes, his kiss gentle yet lingering.
Qin Jiujiu felt the touch on her forehead, as if an electric current had passed through her body, leaving her unsettled.
She kept her eyes open, staring blankly at the person in front of her.
A wave of panic washed over Qin Jiujiu. Her heart had almost become completely flustered. She quickly pushed Xie Jing away. The sudden movement caused all the passersby to look at them.
Xie Jing, caught off guard, almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he had a martial arts background and managed to steady himself, thus avoiding a comical fall.
Seeing this, Qin Jiujiu flusteredly explained, "We should go back!"
Then she walked back by herself, her steps light and her pace extremely fast.
Could it be that she didn't like this kiss?
But that woman had said—women love these sudden kisses the most, they easily make hearts flutter!
Could it be that there was something wrong with his kiss?
Xie Jing frowned, looking at Qin Jiujiu's retreating back. Why was she walking so quickly?
Naturally, it was because she was embarrassed!
Xie Jing watched for a moment. The passersby kept casting glances at him. Xie Jing naturally felt it, so he followed Qin Jiujiu's steps and walked back.
It must be that this kiss of his was problematic! He had to find an opportunity to try again!
If Qin Jiujiu knew Xie Jing's thoughts, she would surely be angered to death!
"System, the villain has been acting stranger and stranger lately..."
Qin Jiujiu lay on the bed, feeling a tickle on her forehead. She couldn't help but reach up and touch it.
There was a peach blossom mark there.
Qin Jiujiu gently caressed the mark, and a strange feeling already blossomed in her heart. That scene replayed in her mind, and the sensation on her forehead grew stronger.
Qin Jiujiu quickly lowered her hand, feeling a bit annoyed.
Soon, her door was knocked. Qin Jiujiu recognized the unique rhythm of Xie Jing's knock.
She waited for a while. The knocking at the door did not stop. The light in her room was still on, so the person outside would know she was not asleep.
Qin Jiujiu had no choice but to get up and open the door. As soon as she opened it, she saw a figure in blue. Without even looking up, she knew it was Xie Jing.
"What do you want now?"
Xie Jing coming to find her late at night would surely not be for any good reason!
Before Qin Jiujiu could snap out of her thoughts, her body was instantly confined in a powerful embrace. Strong arms wrapped around her waist, and she was quickly brought into the room.
The door was shut abruptly, and he pinned her against it.
Qin Jiujiu suddenly exclaimed, "Xie... Xie Jing!"
Her voice was swallowed between their lips. His kiss was fierce and sudden, like a storm that caught her completely off guard. Her mind went blank.
Suddenly, she pushed him hard.
But in front of him, all her movements were like childish play, insignificant. They even made him more excited, and he deepened the kiss.
Qin Jiujiu wanted to break free, but her hair was pulled back. She was held tightly in his embrace, her back against the door, with nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide.
The temperature around them rose, merging with their burning breaths. Qin Jiujiu's struggles gradually weakened. As her body softened, she gradually gave up resisting.
He felt her weakness. The hand around her waist pulled her closer. He suddenly withdrew, granting her a brief moment of freedom.
Qin Jiujiu's eyes were hazy as she looked at the person before her, her mind completely blank.
He looked at her flushed face, her delicate nose also tinged with a blush. Xie Jing couldn't help but reach out and gently sweep across her nose, as if teasing her.
Slowly, he leaned down and kissed her luscious lips again.
This time, Qin Jiujiu did not resist. She even began to respond.
Xie Jing's entire body became excited. Feeling Qin Jiujiu's movements, his heart pounded like thunder, but he controlled his emotions, slowing his actions as if carefully cherishing a precious treasure.
It wasn't until a long time later that he released her.
"I like you!"
Qin Jiujiu didn't hear clearly. Her eyes were as dazed as a fawn's. Leaning in his arms, she softly questioned.
He repeated it, "Xie Jing likes A Jiu!"
His gaze was as tender as water, staring straight at her. The intense emotions in his eyes were not hidden at all, surging like waves in the sea.
She was startled awake by this solemn confession. Through his eyes, she saw a sea, a tranquil world, and a clear reflection of herself.
