The soft pain radiating from her forehead left her mind momentarily blank, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
Xiao Rongyan's distinctively jointed hand covered her hand without loosening, unclear if it pressed on the map or her hand.
Xiao Rongyan's thin lips left her forehead, one hand naturally holding her frail shoulder as he gazed down at her quietly.
A slightly stunned Bai Qingyan looked up, seeing Xiao Rongyan's deeply reserved black eyes staring at her. She tried to withdraw her hand, pressed on the map by Xiao Rongyan, but he daringly wedged his fingers between hers, tightly clasping her hand. The hand gripping her shoulder slid to her waist, giving her no room to retreat.
His breath became slightly heavy, difficult to control. He slowly leaned toward her, his gaze deep and heated.
She felt as if frozen, unable to move a fraction, her eyelashes trembling lightly.
They drew closer, Xiao Rongyan's high nose gently touching hers.
