Sheng Fei had been watching Hua Ren carefully, his golden eyes narrowing as he noticed the subtle changes in Hua Ren’s demeanor. The faint flush on his pale cheeks, the way his breath hitched, and the way his robes clung damply to his body from the sweat beading along his skin. But it was the heat radiating from Hua Ren’s body that truly caught Sheng Fei’s attention.
It was almost intoxicating, like a warm wave rolling off Hua Ren and washing over him. Sheng Fei stiffened slightly, his sharp senses picking up on the way Hua Ren kept leaning closer, his cute nose brushing against the crook of his neck.
