Furthermore, Xie Yanzhi is holding her so tightly that she's almost... unable to breathe.
She couldn't help but speak: "Brother..."
It was only then that Xie Yanzhi realized he almost had her glued to himself.
He hurriedly loosened his grip but still didn't let her go.
He spoke in a deep voice: "Xixi, I want to ask you something."
Lu Nianxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but hearing his words, her heart jumped again.
Before Lu Nianxi could respond, Xie Yanzhi continued: "You kissed me, does it mean... you don't dislike me?"
Lu Nianxi answered instinctively: "How could I dislike you..."
"Xixi..." Xie Yanzhi finally let her go, gently holding her shoulders and looking down at her: "You kissed me, so you need to take responsibility."
Lu Nianxi met his gaze.
Xie Yanzhi's eyes were deep, yet they carried a tenderness and persistence she had never noticed before.
Lu Nianxi was somewhat dazed: "How do I... take responsibility?"
