The man's lips had a faint smell of tobacco, not enough to be unpleasant. In any case, she liked it!
In fact, she had encountered boys of her age, not a romantic kind of interaction, but close encounters, such as with Zhang Mu and Bai Yuchuan.
She often boldly draped her arms around their shoulders and they had once gotten so drunk together that they all passed out and ended up sleeping side by side!
But she never had the racing heart, the breathless nervousness, or the heartache caused by a single sentence of theirs!
When did she start noticing this man? Yang Su thought; probably when he personally called her by her name, said it's the same as a famous dignitary of the Sui Dynasty. She found him so annoying then!
The next time they met was at school. She nearly got forcibly kissed by Zhao Cheng. That was when he appeared, claiming he was her man...
Her man...
Ha!
But after that, she seemed to have started paying attention to him!
