Her breath hitched, her eyes falling from his to his lips. They were so dry, she felt parched. His lips held a great temptation for her. She swallowed twice and couldn't help but lean in…

Chen Enci opened her mouth, but she found herself too embarrassed to say anything about the dreams that followed.

On the other end of the phone, Qin Jie, noting the girl's silence, asked, "And then?"

Even though they were on the phone and Qin Jie couldn't see her, Chen Enci looked around nervously, "And then…there's no then..."

"Oh, is that so," Qin Jie's tone was tinged with disappointment, as if he was regretting something, "I thought you would've literally tied a bow on me and accepted me as your gift."

Surprise making Chen Enci's hand shake, she almost dropped her phone.

Was that really a dream, or not?
