Chapter 149: Love? How amazing is that?
She hesitated.
Perhaps it was the strange essence in the alcohol here, stirring one’s heart.
Indeed, how could someone like her truly love anyone?
Pei Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, just in time to catch the ethereal glow in Xu Si’s eyes, and through that gleam, he saw Xu Si’s evasion and doubt.
His enchanting eyes drooped, his voice cool. "What are you thinking about?"
Xu Si glanced at him and silently shielded her eyes with her fingers, to keep her thoughts from being peered into.
Pei Zhen’s bewitching grey pupils stared straight at her. He had an inscrutable expression, one that made him seem to ponder deeply. Looking at her lips, he suddenly yearned to taste her insincerity.
"Ah~" He narrowed his eyes, took her hand to his face, and laughed, his voice seductive. "If you keep this up, I’ll go crazy."
Xu Si’s fingers curled. Besides the dangling pearl necklace, they also brushed against his face. She asked in confusion, "What did I do?"
"You said you love me." His eyes gleamed. He tilted his head slightly, a lingering smile on his lips. His voice, laced with ambiguity and satisfaction, suppressed a tone of ecstatic madness. "I love you too, Xu Si. I love you to death."
He pressed his handsome face against her fingertips, enticing her. This is too much, Xu Si thought hazily. A tingling sensation instantly spread from her finger to her scalp. Her brain couldn’t process it, but her hand instinctively pulled back.
She was certain she hadn’t said anything just now.
