Only feeling the rush of blood, uncontrollable, as it surged with this kiss, like turbulent waves, even a bit out of control.

This was far more impulsive than when he’s alone with Nangong Ran.

Suddenly he was stunned, terrified, not daring to move or retreat.

Just letting Nangong Lin’s plump pink lips cling to his thin lips, soft and fragrant, with a hint of alcoholic sweetness.

Alvin felt inexplicable, only a bit dizzy.

Thinking she was just drunk, a light kiss, and then she would fall asleep again.

But to his surprise, Nangong Lin was passionately uncontrollable, closing her eyes, lashes fluttering, and even deepened the kiss.

Alvin, unprepared, was just entangled by her tongue, the two entwined unexpectedly, somewhat inexplicable.

Alvin was stunned.

But Alvin had never kissed anyone; this was his first kiss, so the impact was overwhelming for him.

Nangong Lin’s tiny tongue was like a little snake, very agile, sweet, exploring his mouth, plunging his mind into chaos.

Shock to astonishment, Alvin almost instinctively wanted to push her away, but when his hand rested on her shoulder, he realized he couldn’t part from this warm and soft touch.

All kinds of thoughts struggled within that zero point zero one second, and ultimately he pushed Nangong Lin away. He wasn’t a petty person, nor would he take advantage of others, especially with this kiss leaving him utterly confused.

Though B Country’s open customs view kissing as nothing significant, Alvin, being a prince, with noble status, naturally wouldn’t act recklessly.

Nangong Lin, pushed away, seemed still unsatisfied, licked her lips, slightly narrowed her enchanting eyes, and giggled, "Good night, Huayu hubby."

Alvin was stunned. What?

Huayu?

Zheng Huayu?

For some unknown reason, an irrepressible fury welled up from deep within Alvin’s heart. He clasped her delicate jaw, inching closer to her, asking, "Stupid woman, do you like Zheng Huayu?"

Calling him hubby signifies fondness, doesn’t it?

Nangong Lin didn’t answer, only furrowed her brows deeply, seemingly uncomfortable from Alvin’s grip, shook her head to rid herself of that discomfort, and then fell asleep again.

In the warm night light, Alvin’s glass-colored eyes darkened deeply with a very complex light.

This woman actually likes Zheng Huayu?

Hehe.

Zheng Huayu is a mixed-blood celebrity from D Country, reportedly with a quarter Empire lineage, and a rising star in the past year.

Seems like after starring in some idol drama, he became wildly popular, rocketing from D Country to fame across all of Southeast Asia.

However, that guy is indeed handsome, mixed-blood children always look good, and Zheng Huayu is quite beautiful among them.

Yet Zheng Huayu appears to be younger, seemingly only 22, nearly six years younger than Nangong Lin.

"..."

This stupid woman, Alvin couldn’t describe the feeling resurfacing within him, realizing she already has someone she fancies.

"Um... hurts, it really hurts." Nangong Lin curled up on the bed, unsure if it was a headache or foot pain.

Anyhow, her delicate brows furrowed deeply, looking quite uncomfortable.

Alvin instantly felt annoyed; he helped her indoors out of kindness, even lost his first kiss, but didn’t want to bother with her, just intending to return to his own room. However, he glanced at her before leaving, and that glance immobilized his steps.
