"Would you think less of me if I told you that..." He hesitated, torn between the urge to reveal his secret and the instinct to protect her from fear.
"What is it?" she asked, leaning in slightly, her innocent curiosity prompting her to inch closer. It was an unconscious gesture, devoid of any intent to allure.
Tuzi AoFen found himself captivated by the delicate curve of her ear, which reminded him of a ripe peach. He had an overwhelming desire to taste its sweetness, but instead he swallowed hard, his pupils dilating as he leaned nearer.
"Fen Fen??" Without waiting for his answer, she tilted her head to catch his gaze, only to find herself lost in the depths of his dark eyes.
Her heart raced at the intensity of the moment, prompting her to suddenly push him down, using her own spiritual strength to shield him from the unseen menace approaching from behind. Without looking back, she unleashed her most formidable attack in a swift motion.
"Boom!!!!"
