Although she knew this was the enemy’s tactic to find them, Su Qiuge was still a little nervous.

Xie Xinglin’s lips were tightly covered by her hands.

Due to their closeness, the disorderly and warm breaths of the two entangled ambiguously in the small space.

Then, he perceived a very light fragrance from the body of the girl.

In this dark and gloomy environment, it was like a vine as it twisted and grew, slowly spreading towards him without restraint.

It unexpectedly aroused a ticklish sensation in one’s heart.

He stared at the hand that was covering his lips and the corner of his mouth moved slightly.historical

“Strange, I clearly saw them running over here.”

The director’s voice gradually faded away and Su Qiuge finally let out a sigh of relief.

When she relaxed, she raised her eyes and came eye-to-eye with Xie Xinglin.

Half of the other’s face was hidden in the shadows of the fire escape, while the other half was illuminated by the light coming from the corridor

It made him appear a little different from the usual style of indifference and frigidity, there was an added sense of unexplainable evil.

He stared at her with a pair of slender and beautiful eyes, the emotions within were dark and unknown. Then he subconsciously licked the corner of his lips before he unhurriedly said, “Can you let go now?”

When he spoke, the soft lips brushed against Su Qiuge’s palm.

A hard to describe, tingling sensation instantly flew from the palm of her hands to her limbs through her arteries and veins. For a short moment, it felt as if an electric current had passed through her heart as well.

Thump Thump

In the dark and quiet space, she seemed to hear her own heartbeat.

She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt that her palm was a little wet.

It felt like....

As if it had been slightly licked by the tip of a tongue.

Su Qiuge: ???

She immediately moved her hands behind her body. Her palm was burning terribly hot.

Then, she raised her eyes, and as if gods and demons were at work, she looked at Xie Xinglin’s lips.

When he was silent, the whole person would appear sophisticated and restrained, but at this time, the excessively rosy lips added a bit of color and enticement.

In addition to his overly delicate and gorgeous facial features, the dim lighting made him resemble an alluring evil spirit that had just feasted on blood.

With such a comparison, Su Qiuge suddenly felt like she was the unlucky and pitiful person whose blood was sucked away by him.

The evil spirit licked the corner of his mouth as he raised his eyes, his eyelashes faintly flickered.

In such a secluded and close-up environment, he fixedly stared at her.

His gaze was without the faintest scruples, as if it wanted to squeeze her dry.

She suddenly wondered why a man needed to be so beautiful, beautiful to the point that it lets one’s imagination run wild. She couldn’t hold back from whispering out loud what was in her heart, “Why does a man need such red lips....”

“It looks just like those small officials of ancient times that deliberately colored their lips in order to seduce lords, so coquettish.”

**t/n: I believe this is referring to the usage of seduction to climb ranks

Almost as soon as the words fell, she realized that she had accidentally blurted out something strange.

Su Qiuge: !!!

Wa-wait, did her nervousness cause her to lose control of her body??

Otherwise, why would she say everything she was thinking out loud??

Ah??

She immediately shrank back and looked at Xie Xinglin, whose eyes were dark and profound. She racked her brains and desperately explained as if she was pleading for survival, “I....I was talking about the director. He..he’s like a small official, I wasn’t talking about you.”

“He..you can tell he’s gay with one look....should be the bottom.”

She was so flustered that she started rambling. When she finally recovered and calmed down, it was already too late.

Then, she saw the youth that resembled an alluring evil spirit look at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “So coquettish, really?”

Su Qiuge shook her head like a rattle, “No, It’s just you just...I....”

Xie Xinglin rubbed the corner of his mouth with his thumb. He looked down at her as he raised his lips slightly. He asked in an ambiguous tone, “Then do you want to try and experience what this rouge tastes like?”

Su Qiuge’s body trembled.

Without waiting for her to answer, he approached her slowly. The light in his eyes was dark and his voice was low and husky. He unhurriedly called out one word, “Lord.”
