"————"
An indescribable silence settled over the bedroom.
It was the kind of silence that made sound feel utterly unnecessary in this small world, leaving only the faint echo of heartbeats reverberating in the air.
As the pounding of their hearts grew louder, the temperature of the two lovers snuggling together in the room began to rise steadily.
And perhaps it was just Fang Li's imagination, but it felt as though the temperature of the entire room was climbing as well.
In the air, a cloying sweetness began to spread, thick and suffocating.
It was the unmistakable aura of 'ambiguity'.
Fang Li had experienced this feeling before.
Back when his relationship with Sylvia wasn't as close as it was now— when they had only met once and could barely even be called acquaintances— it was under similar circumstances that Fang Li, swept up at the moment, had impulsively stolen her first kiss.
It was from that moment that their relationship began to change.
From barely being friends, they had grown closer, understanding each other in ways that defied logic, and in an astonishingly short time, they had become lovers.
If not for that moment of ambiguity back then, perhaps Fang Li and Sylvia would never have reached this point, let alone in such a short span of time.
To put it simply, it could only be described as one thing.
————『Fate』.
There was no other explanation.
And now, the same atmosphere from that time began to permeate the room once more.
This was why Fang Li's heartbeat and body temperature were rising.
"..."
Sylvia remained silent, her head lowered.
But Fang Li, who held her tightly in his arms with her seated on his lap, could clearly feel it— the body heat and heartbeat of the world's most renowned Diva were also gradually increasing.
Her smooth, captivating skin seemed to flush with a rosy hue, adding to her allure.
So, Fang Li was certain.
Sylvia, just like him, was remembering that time.
And perhaps, she was feeling flustered.
After all, back then, swept up in the same atmosphere, even Fang Li— who was usually calm and composed— had lost control and acted on impulse.
So, what would he do now, under the same circumstances?
The moment that thought crossed her mind, Sylvia couldn't stay calm.
Moreover, her current state was far from ideal.
After all, the world's most celebrated Diva was currently wrapped in nothing but a single towel.
This vulnerable state of hers was something only Fang Li had the privilege of witnessing.
Yet, precisely because she had no defenses against Fang Li, Sylvia understood just how dangerous the current atmosphere was.
As the silence dragged on, the tension in the air grew increasingly unbearable.
Sylvia's body heat and heartbeat had already reached their peak.
And so, in the next second, she could no longer remain composed.
"I… I think it's a bit cold in here!" Sylvia stammered, her voice tinged with panic. "I… I should go change into something warmer!"
With that, she tried to rise from Fang Li's lap.
"Ah…"
A soft gasp escaped her lips as Fang Li abruptly pulled her back, causing her to fall onto the bed.
Just like the time he had infiltrated her room not long ago, Fang Li's face now loomed close to hers.
Only this time, the look in his eyes was unusually intense.
An emotion that rarely appeared in Fang Li's gaze was now burning brightly.
Then, with a faint smile, he spoke.
"You're clearly burning up, yet you say you're cold? That's such an obvious lie, and so unlike you."
Hearing this, Sylvia averted her gaze, unable to withstand the heat in Fang Li's eyes.
Then, her tone shifted to one of embarrassment and frustration.
"You're right. This isn't like me at all," Sylvia took a deep breath, her melodious voice tinged with annoyance. "But you— you're as straightforward as ever, never beating around the bush. Shouldn't you be a little more considerate and try to understand how I feel right now?"
"Shouldn't I be saying the same to you?" Fang Li teased. "Shouldn't 'you' be the one being considerate and understanding how 'I' feel right now?"
As he spoke, Fang Li leaned closer, his lips brushing against Sylvia's ear as he whispered.
"I can barely breathe, you idiot…"
The moment those words left his lips—
"Ah…"
Sylvia let out another gasp.
This time, it was because the only piece of clothing covering her body was swiftly pulled away by a strong hand, and sent flying into the air.
The towel fluttered lightly before falling to the ground.
And once again, the world's most celebrated Diva lay exposed before Fang Li.
Looking as breathtaking as ever.
"W-what are you doing?!" Sylvia's face flushed crimson as she glared at Fang Li. "I… I have work tomorrow!"
It was the same excuse as always.
"That excuse again?" Fang Li smirked, though the fire in his eyes told Sylvia this was no mere jest. "Too bad. Today, I'm not feeling considerate."
Though his tone was light, the intensity in his gaze made it clear— this was no act.
Fang Li was serious.
Realizing this, Sylvia couldn't bring herself to look at him anymore. Her voice, which had captivated countless fans worldwide, now trembled faintly.
"D-don't do anything reckless…"
It was all she could muster, and even those few words drained her of all her strength.
It was her final resistance.
But Fang Li had already made his decision.
Today, he wouldn't show her any mercy.
And so, Sylvia's last struggle was met with a merciless verdict.
"Today, I'm going to be as reckless as I want."
With those words, Fang Li abruptly pulled the covers over them, enveloping both himself and Sylvia in darkness.
"Click…"
As if on cue, the automatic lights dimmed with a soft sound, plunging the room into shadow.
In the darkness, only the sound of ragged breaths remained.
Until, at some point, a soft moan escaped, followed by the rhythm of heated panting.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a gentle glow on the clothes scattered on the floor.
Among them were Sylvia's towel and Fang Li's discarded garments.
And so, the night stretched on, long and unyielding.
