Chapter 136 To Pounce or Not to Pounce (22)
His kiss harbored no trace of desire but was laden with deep emotions. In the darkness, he no longer needed to forcefully suppress himself.
He gently captured Ling Chuxia’s lips, cautiously savoring her sweet taste, barely daring to exert any force.
Though he restrained himself, Ling Chuxia appeared still to be disturbed. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her long, curled eyelashes trembled, and she began to stir from her slumber.
Shi Che was lost in the kiss, not realizing immediately that Ling Chuxia was awakening. When he involuntarily thought about deepening the kiss, he noticed Ling Chuxia’s eyes slightly open, causing his whole body to stiffen instantly.
He hadn’t anticipated that Ling Chuxia would wake up. His mind went blank, and he had no reaction, just frozen, holding Ling Chuxia in a dazed state.
Ling Chuxia, too, was hazily awakened by the disturbance, unaware of Shi Che’s kiss. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw herself lying in Shi Che’s embrace, his dark, deep eyes close at hand, seemingly suppressing some emotion.
Initially still groggy, Ling Chuxia immediately became fully alert at the sight, making her eyes widen in surprise.
