The faint scent of detergent invaded both their brains through their noses and mouths—probably the smell of a cleanser.
They exchanged saliva with a squelching sound—a redundant and unnecessary human activity. Not only was it meaningless, but it could also lead to cross-infection due to the close proximity, or cause infectious diseases.
Yet humans simply reveled in it.
Xiang Yu gently extended the tip of his tongue, licking her, sending a gentle, friendly signal. Whatever his true nature, at this moment, Qi Sui was genuinely deceived by him.
When Xiang Yu withdrew his red, wet tongue from her mouth, she could vaguely see the moisture in her eyes.
Both of them looked equally disheveled.
One had lost control from the kiss, the other was dizzy and flushed beyond belief.
"It's a bit... strange..." Qi Sui murmured.
This kind of intimate contact was completely different from a simple "peck."
Her ears felt like they were exploding. An electric current shot from her ears into her mouth, then, through the conductivity of the liquid, connected all the way to that man's brain.
In the end, it felt as if they shared one brain, and their hearts grew together, pounding wildly, impossible to ignore the intense tremors.
Xiang Yu gently rubbed her bright red lower lip with his fingertip and asked softly, "You don't like this?"
"Or am I not good enough?"
"Mm..." Qi Sui struggled to think. "It's not that."
But why, exactly?
She found it hard to articulate.
It was just very strange.
When exchanging saliva, she even forgot to breathe.
She just felt that her heart was being held in Xiang Yu's head, and as they kissed deeper with flushed faces, until her tongue flesh was sucked sore and hot.
"Your ears are so red," Xiang Yu said with a simple, innocent metaphor. "Like two little cherries."
"You're shy, aren't you?"
He took her hand and made her touch his own hot but not-so-obvious earlobe. "Me too."
"I really like you."
Qi Sui said "Mm."
So this hard-to-express feeling was called shyness.
It was an emotion that only arises when facing someone you like, crawling up her ears and body like an electric current.
