"You eat it yourself, I..."

Chu Xici actually doesn’t like sweets.

However, Yege stubbornly pushed the chocolate closer to his lips, almost trying to stuff it into his mouth, leaving no room for Chu Xici to refuse.

"Ah..."

She prolonged the sound, her voice soft and with a coquettish tone.

Her gaze was full of anticipation, coupled with a determined stubbornness to achieve her goals.

Chu Xici had no choice but to open his mouth and bite into the chocolate Yege offered.

Just as he opened his mouth, Yege excitedly pushed her fingers deeper into his mouth, so that when Chu Xici bit the chocolate, he unintentionally bit Yege’s finger.

It was like a current passing between his fingers; Yege’s entire body momentarily frazzled as if struck by that current, leaving her utterly stunned.

Her gaze froze on Chu Xici, staring at his face, seemingly forgetting to react.

Chu Xici was also dumbfounded.

In a flash, Chu Xici let go quickly, and Yege swiftly pulled her hand back, while he held onto her wrist.

"Did it hurt? Let me see!"

Yege quickly withdrew her hand, her heart pounding so fast it felt like it might jump out of her throat.

She quickly avoided Chu Xici’s gaze.

"It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt!"

She said and quickly turned around, picked up the box of chocolates, and smiled brightly at Chu Xici.

"I’m gonna take this box of chocolate!"

After she spoke, without waiting for Chu Xici to respond, Yege left as if she were fleeing.

Chu Xici: "..."

The rich chocolate aroma still lingered in his mouth, yet the sensation of having bitten her finger and the tremor in his heart seemed to still echo within him, spreading gradually with the lingering taste of the chocolate.

Chu Xici lay in bed, but he couldn’t fall asleep.

Today is Valentine’s Day, and the gift he prepared for her... had to be given under Yunqing’s guise, feeling rather suffocated.

Still, seeing how happy she was eating it, Chu Xici felt a sense of accomplishment.

And the scene of Yege feeding him... hmm, indeed, it looked very much like a couple!

A couple!

Previously at the pet store, when the owner said Yege was his girlfriend, he didn’t argue, and at that moment, he really enjoyed the feeling.

However, afterward, Yege had to explain it to the store owner.

He really wanted to say that he wasn’t, that they were not related by blood at all.

But he couldn’t!

God knows how hard he had to work to suppress those restless emotions at the time.

And those two kissing fishes, and the roses...

Plus tonight’s chocolates...

He felt like they were clearly celebrating Valentine’s Day!

Even though nothing was said out loud, the feeling grew increasingly clear...

This is... unbearable!

Yege hurried back to her room, her face already flushed.

This... originally went to find Chu Xici to talk about the box of chocolates, but in the end?

The intimate scene earlier was simply... felt even more ambiguous than a kiss!

Yege looked down at her fingers, feeling as if they were still tingling!

Uh... should she still wash her hands tonight?
