Above Xu Xingchun’s head, he softly said, “Okay.”

Fu Xueli reached out to hug him but felt a bit embarrassed. It was dark all around, with motorcycles roaring past on the road. She hesitated for only two seconds before obediently moving closer to let him capture her lips.

The touch was cool and moist.

Kissing someone you like brings an overwhelming tingling sensation, like pop rocks melting in your heart.

It felt wonderful.

After kissing for a while, Fu Xueli shivered and barely opened her eyes, breathing slightly heavily, “Hey, hey hey, don’t move your hands around…”

There was a large stone pillar nearby. She tried to push him away, but Xu Xingchun pulled her back with his arm. His watch hit something, making a soft click.

A group of people passed by noisily, no one noticing the chaos in this corner.

His hand pressed against the pearl pillar above her head as he leaned down to kiss below her eyes and on her nose. Then came deep, throat-reaching kisses, sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce.

She softly said her legs were getting numb…

Seeing no reaction from him, she continued, “I’m thirsty, I want water…”

“…There’s some in the car.”

“I want water…”

But even when Xu Xingchun carried her to the car, she didn’t get to drink any water.

The car keys fell with a clang, her heart was racing excitedly, feeling light-headed before suddenly coming back to her senses.

When her warm skin touched the cool air, she almost cried out from the cold.

Xu Xingchun’s kisses were forceful.

Fu Xueli nervously curled up her body, but her hand was pulled away. Xu Xingchun turned his head, pressing his lips against her wrist.

Her hand unconsciously curled up.

Damn… was this really Xu Xingchun?

Such romance he was playing.

Fu Xueli was drenched in sweat from his teasing. In her daze, she thought she had really gone too far this time and didn’t know how to end it…

How come he became so different from his usual calm and composed self at times like this….

She really just wanted to give him a kiss…

Xu Xingchun was too easily provoked.

Xu Xingchun leaned forward, reaching behind to undo his watch. His shirt had been mostly pulled open in the chaos, hanging loose with his chest slightly visible.

With his collar pulled aside, his shoulder blades and neck hollow were deeply set.

Her gaze lingered, unable to look away for a long time.

He was really so handsome.

Her thoughts paused as she stared at him blankly for a while.

Then she thought.

Beautiful features and unconscious sensuality… could probably also be considered a sin.

He was easily provoked.

But she…

Seemed to be easily tempted by him too…

Fu Xueli’s completely defenseless, captured innocent look fell into Xu Xingchun’s eyes. He couldn’t hold back anymore and pressed down on her again.

The thick coat cushioned beneath them.

Supporting himself only with his elbows, Xu Xingchun’s hairline was completely wet, his breathing very unsteady as he called her name.

In a place Fu Xueli couldn’t see, his eyes were filled with a deep tenderness.

This question stayed with Fu Xueli until the next day. Tang Xin helped her reschedule an interview in the morning to shoot advertisement photos for an endorsement.

This time it wasn’t in a studio but an outdoor location. During the break, she sat in a temporary chair set up next to the light stands, staring blankly at her phone. Her assistant had gone to buy drinks, and while staff members came and went, she was alone here.

“Xueli, what are you looking at? Your face is all red.”

Fu Xueli turned her head, tilting it up slightly, and suddenly met Jony’s big face – he was bending down to look at her phone. Startled, she immediately flipped her phone over without a word, pressed the screen lock, her heart pounding, “Damn, where did you come from? Trying to scare me to death?!”

Jony had been watching for a while, but she was too absorbed to notice.

“Watching something naughty? You seem really into it.”

He smiled, fine wrinkles at his eyes, immediately seeing through her small expressions, “Or is that someone special to you in there, a sex partner?”

“…”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Fu Xueli was speechless.

Jony was a longtime friend of Tang Xin, so he was naturally familiar with Fu Xueli and didn’t hold back much when joking. He sat down opposite her, with an unclear smile, “Just now…. although I only saw for a few seconds, but, he was a very sexy handsome guy.”

Fu Xueli couldn’t hide her embarrassment, coughed twice, and drank some juice, “What a mess you’re talking about.”

“Was the photo taken secretly?” Jony shook his head, with a knowing look, “I didn’t expect you to have this secret hobby.”

Are all gay guys in the world this gossipy and sharp-tongued?

Fu Xueli couldn’t help but retort, “That’s my boyfriend!”

“Oh~ boyfriend. Xueli, your face is hot. But your boyfriend is a bit rough, remember to remind him to be careful in the future. You’re a public figure, paparazzi won’t miss any kiss marks on you.”

She froze for a moment, suddenly enlightened.

Fu Xueli lowered her head and zipped up her jacket, preparing to ignore Jony.

Today’s advertisement outfit was a low-cut chiffon spaghetti strap dress, the kiss marks below her collarbone were too obvious, the makeup artist had to apply several layers of foundation this morning to cover them.

She hadn’t said anything at the time, but the makeup artist must have secretly gone to gossip with Jony…

Xixi dragged her feet over, having bought lots of drinks. Jony casually took a juice and went to look at the photos being shot.

Just then her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she pressed answer almost instantly, “Hello.”

“It’s me.”

“Mm… I know.”

Knowing it was him, always the same opening…

Xixi was tidying things up, noticed Fu Xueli’s odd expression, and kept glancing over with concern.

There was some noise on Xu Xingchun’s end, he seemed to walk to a quieter place before speaking again, “Does the place you hit yesterday still hurt?”

Almost instantly, Fu Xueli remembered his wrist watch, and thought of everything from yesterday… her ears turning red.

Fu Xueli made a sound of agreement, then asked, “Where are you…”

“Out on field work.”

After a moment of silence, she suddenly felt a bit sour in her heart. It wasn’t anything specific, she just really wanted to see him.

Fu Xueli glanced around with her peripheral vision, then coughed lightly and said softly: “My work is almost done today, where are you, can I come find you?”

He didn’t speak.

She deliberately spoke pitifully sweet words, “I promise I won’t run around, I’ll just stand far away and look at you, if you allow it, I’ll give you a kiss.”

After arriving, she put on her mask and hat. Taking the umbrella Xixi handed her, Fu Xueli got out of the car and saw an area cordoned off with police tape in the distance.

A large crowd of onlookers was being held back.

A heavy rain had started, making the ground muddy.

“Hold on.” Liu Jingbo’s voice came through the radio, “There are too many people now, clear the crowd first.”

Xu Xingchun was still talking with the investigator, listening to his complete report. As if sensing something, he turned his head to look to the side.

Across the street, Fu Xueli jumped up and down, waving at him.

In a crowd, he could always spot her instantly.

The waterproof canopy had a hole punched through it, making a loud boom.

A bright yellow light flashed past as a bus drove by almost grazing her back.

Fu Xueli was completely unaware, only focused on running forward.

“—Be careful!”

This incident gave Xu Xingchun a cold sweat.

The confused investigator who was left behind watched as Xu Xingchun took urgent steps, pulled open the police tape, and rushed to the roadside.

“It’s raining, don’t you watch where you’re going?!” he questioned loudly.

In an instant, shock, fear, and anger all rushed up. Along with indescribable fear after the fact.

She was unexpectedly pulled by his hand. The excitement that had been shining in Fu Xueli’s eyes now turned to inexplicable hurt as Xu Xingchun suddenly scolded her.

What had been full of joy now left her not wanting to say anything.

She felt the grip on her arm tightening. Having run over too quickly, she was still a bit out of breath. She rarely saw him angry, and feeling slightly resistant unease in her heart, she struggled a bit.

“Do you know you almost got hit?!”

Xu Xingchun was angry, his expression very unpleasant.

“Ah…” Being criticized so seriously, Fu Xueli looked up at him, clearly hurt, hesitating, “I’m sorry, I was just too happy to see you.”

Seeing her kicking at the rain water step by step, after two seconds of silence, Xu Xingchun struggled to explain softly, “I’m sorry, I was too anxious just now.”

Fu Xueli nodded vigorously, clearly agreeing with Xu Xingchun’s words.

His white coat was all dirty from the muddy water. He pulled Fu Xueli into his arms, “Don’t let there be a next time.”

Not far away.

Ma Xuanrui sat in the car motionless for a long time.

Another person was changing clothes while sending voice messages to her boyfriend, opening the speaker after sending to listen to how it sounded.

Seeing Ma Xuanrui staring blankly at nothing, that person waved a hand in front of her eyes, “What are you thinking about?”

Ma Xuanrui’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked away. Forcing a slight smile.

“What were you just thinking about?”

Ma Xuanrui shook her head, sighing with feeling, “Just remembered a quote.”

“What quote?” that person followed up on her words.

“Hmm… let me think, it’s from a movie.”

The person in the car had finished changing, her boyfriend sent another voice message which she excitedly opened to listen to, casually saying to Ma Xuanrui, “Let’s hear it.”

“In principle I never dance, but it’s hard to say no to a.??sa.”

“What does that mean?”

Ma Xuanrui murmured, smiling with a sigh, “It means I have someone I love in my dreams.”

I have someone I love in my dreams.

He is gentle to everyone, but saves his tenderness for just one person.

But that person, she will never understand.
