Li Chen saw her body tense, a fine sheen of sweat beading on her pale forehead, and, with a teasing smile, he soothed her like a child, "Yuqing, there's nothing to fear, it will be over soon!"

After speaking, she closed her eyes. Her cheeks flushed red, like a flower blooming amidst the storm, dazzlingly beautiful, for anyone to pluck.
