Chapter 267 Kiss

Chapter 267 Kiss

"Hmph, when I find a partner someday, I'll definitely be a hundred times sweeter than you guys, and you'll all be envious."

Xiahou Jie muttered to himself as he continued with the rest of his work.

At this moment, Dai Xingyun held Shen Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and slowly walked out of the educated youth compound step by step.

Shen Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned bright red, as delicate and luscious as a ripe apple.

She never expected that just by going back once, he would become bolder and dare to hold her hand in broad daylight.

When Dai Xingyun led her to a secluded corner and gently pressed her against the cold, hard wall, Shen Xiaoxiao finally snapped out of her daze.

Her heart pounded like a drum, her face flushed, and she stammered nervously, "What...what do you want to do?" As she finished speaking, Shen Xiaoxiao's cheeks burned even hotter and redder.

Before she could react further, Dai Xingyun opened his arms without hesitation and tightly embraced her petite and delicate body.

Feeling the other person's warm and firm chest and hearing their strong and powerful heartbeat, Shen Xiaoxiao's tense heartstrings relaxed a little, but the blush on her face remained unchanged.

All she heard was Dai Xingyun's deep, slightly hoarse voice in her ear: "Xiaoxiao, I've been thinking about you every single moment these past few days. Don't you miss me at all?"

As he said this, Dai Xingyun lowered his head slightly, gazing affectionately at the shy woman in his arms.

Upon hearing Dai Xingyun's sincere and passionate words, Shen Xiaoxiao's heart softened, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his broad and sturdy back.

She replied softly, "Actually... I miss you very, very much too!"

"But I'm just a country bumpkin. Do you think your uncles and aunts would really agree to let you be with me, since you're from the city?" Her words revealed a hint of unease and worry.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Shen Xiaoxiao said, "Besides, your aunt and uncle should be asking you to go back to the city as soon as possible, right?"

"After all, given your family's background, it shouldn't be too difficult to transfer you back to the city for work, right?"

As she spoke, her beautiful, captivating eyes were filled with disappointment.

Faced with Shen Xiaoxiao's series of questions, Dai Xingyun smiled slightly, then reached out a hand to gently stroke her smooth, black hair.

She comforted him gently, "Don't worry, my family does have a way to transfer me back to the city, but as long as you stay here, I would never leave you behind and go back alone."

Then, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "My parents and I have discussed this seriously. If we want to bring you home legitimately, it seems that the only way is for the two of us to get married."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao's face flushed bright red, like a ripe apple, delicate and luscious.

Her eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the person in front of her, involuntarily uttering, "Who...who wants to marry you?" Her voice trembled slightly with nervousness.

However, Dai Xingyun showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he took another step forward, leaning closer to Shen Xiaoxiao.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a playful smile on his face, and said, "Of course it's you! Do you think you'd want to marry anyone else besides me?"

Shen Xiaoxiao was forced to retreat step by step until her back hit the tree, leaving her with nowhere to go.

She opened her mouth, about to say something. But just then, Dai Xingyun suddenly leaned down and kissed her pink lips without warning.

In an instant, Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes widened to the size of copper bells, and she froze on the spot, her mind going blank.

At that moment, her heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her throat. "My first kiss, just like that, is gone... and it was my only first kiss in two lifetimes!" This thought flashed through her mind.

Time seemed to freeze, and everything around them became blurred, leaving only their warm breaths and the strange sensation of their lips touching.

Gradually, the atmosphere between the two became increasingly ambiguous, and the air seemed to become incredibly hot.

Just when Shen Xiaoxiao felt she was about to suffocate from lack of oxygen, Dai Xingyun finally let go of her.

Shen Xiaoxiao gasped for breath as if she had been granted a pardon, her cheeks flushed red, her eyes flickering uncertainly, not daring to meet Dai Xingyun's smiling eyes.

She lowered her head and stammered, "I...I'll go back now."

Before she finished speaking, she darted out of Dai Xingyun's arms with lightning speed, and then, like a startled deer, took off running and disappeared from Dai Xingyun's sight in the blink of an eye.

Watching Shen Xiaoxiao's departing figure, Dai Xingyun's smile deepened, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting affection.

Shen Xiaoxiao rushed home like a startled rabbit, slamming the door shut with all her might, as if that would shut out everything from the outside world.

Then, without looking back, she headed straight for her room, moving as fast as if a raging flood was chasing her.

Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zishan happened to be visiting their neighbors at that moment; otherwise, with their keen observation skills, they would have definitely noticed Shen Xiaoxiao's unusual behavior.

As soon as she entered the room, Shen Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

She subconsciously reached out and touched her slightly swollen lips. When her fingertips touched that soft, warm place, an indescribable feeling instantly welled up in her heart.

Her memories were involuntarily pulled back to the scene of kissing that person just now, and Shen Xiaoxiao's cheeks immediately turned as red as a ripe apple.

Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

"No, I can't think about it anymore!" Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously, trying to drive those erotic images out of her mind.

"Yes, I should start studying and reviewing right away. I can't let this little thing distract me."

She took a deep breath, walked to the desk, opened the book with slightly flustered movements, and placed it neatly.

However, even though the book was open in front of her, she couldn't focus her gaze on the words.

Half a day passed, and her mind was still blank; she couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

Just then, a slight sound came from outside, which was like a thunderclap, instantly pulling Shen Xiaoxiao's thoughts back to reality.
