It was an innocent kiss—no pressure, no intent—but the sheer unexpectedness of it sent a jolt through Zhenfeng's entire body, like a bolt of lightning striking the earth. His chest tightened, and his breath caught in his throat as the world around him blurred, the glowing cavern dimming into nothingness.
The warmth of Jianyu's lips lingered for a heartbeat, maybe two, before the kiss ended as quickly as it began. Jianyu leaned back slightly, his face alight with a dreamy, contented smile, utterly unaware of the chaos he'd just caused.
Zhenfeng remained frozen in place, his wide eyes locked on Jianyu, his brain struggling to catch up. His lips tingled, the ghost of Jianyu's touch refusing to fade, and his pulse roared in his ears like a drumbeat.
