"Finally," Dai Chengfeng raised his other hand, his fingers gently brushing the edge of Qiu'er's rosy lips.
This brought an unprecedented, subtle tingling sensation, causing Qiu'er's breath to catch momentarily. "It should be like this…"
Dai Chengfeng didn't continue speaking but instead began his true lesson through action.
His kiss landed softly, carefully covering Qiu'er's slightly parted lips, which were filled with confusion and curiosity.
Completely different from Qiu'er's clumsy collision, this was a tentative touch, a gentle rubbing, a light caress…
"Hmm?"
Qiu'er's eyes instantly widened, her crimson-gold pupils flashing with bewilderment, surprise, and a faint trace of dizziness that even she didn't notice.
This…
It was similar to what I just did, so why does it feel completely different?!
"Mmm… Mmm… Mmm~"
Qiu'er was confused in her heart, wanting to say something, but under Dai Chengfeng's 'domination,' all she could manage were muffled nasal sounds.
The moonlight remained silent. The room was filled only with the faint, heart-stirring sounds of their kiss, along with the increasingly noticeable beats of their hearts and deepening breaths.
After an unknown amount of time—perhaps a few moments, perhaps much longer—
Qiu'er's tense body gradually relaxed under Dai Chengfeng's gentle kiss. Her long lashes trembled like butterfly wings before slowly closing.
For the first time, she didn't think about "what this feeling is," but was involuntarily captivated by a strange, wonderful sense of pleasure. Her breathing became shallow and prolonged.
Just as Qiu'er was fully immersed in this warm, magical kiss led by Dai Chengfeng—
The tender kiss suddenly stopped.
"Mmm?"
Qiu'er opened her eyes in confusion, her crimson-gold eyes misty with moisture, exuding an enchanting allure.
"Understand now?"
At this moment, Dai Chengfeng spoke, his voice noticeably hoarse as his fingertips gently caressed her slightly swollen lips.
"This is what human… kissing is."
Hearing Dai Chengfeng's words, Qiu'er's eyes finally regained a bit of clarity.
Her cheeks glowed with an intoxicating flush never seen before under the moonlight.
Instinctively, she lightly licked her lips, which had just been meticulously "taught," as if savoring the strange, lingering warmth that had heated her heart.
"…Mmm…"
A single syllable, unclear and muffled, escaped from her nose.
At this moment, Qiu'er gazed at Dai Chengfeng with hopeful eyes, seemingly wanting to say something to express her feelings about this "new knowledge."
Uncomfortable? Absolutely not.
Interesting? It seemed far more interesting than she had imagined.
Very… comfortable?
In the end, this word emerged in her mind.
"Dai Chengfeng…"
Qiu'er's voice still carried a barely perceptible softness and slight panting. "Was that… the end of the lesson?"
"Yes, the teaching is complete."
Dai Chengfeng smiled and nodded, gently stroking Qiu'er's long hair and letting her rest against his chest.
Qiu'er's body obediently lay on Dai Chengfeng, even tilting her head forward slightly to gaze intently into his eyes.
"But… I feel like there's still a bit… I haven't learned yet…"
Even Qiu'er herself didn't realize that her phrase "a bit I haven't learned" carried a hint of desire.
"Heh~"
Seeing this, Dai Chengfeng chuckled softly. He looked down at Qiu'er nestled in his arms. Under the moonlight, her upturned face was irresistibly charming, her innocent request…
It completely ignited a certain emotion Dai Chengfeng had been restraining.
"Oh?"
Dai Chengfeng's low voice carried amusement and indulgence. "Not learned yet?"
"It seems I haven't been a good enough teacher…"
"Then…"
Dai Chengfeng slowly lowered his head, almost whispering in her ear, "How about we review it once more?"
"Yes!"
Qiu'er's big eyes sparkled. She seemed to have discovered the 'fun' in human kissing.
However…
This time, Dai Chengfeng no longer limited himself to gentle exploration.
Qiu'er felt the light above her abruptly dimmed, and a clearer sensation than before pressed against her lips—possession!
"Mmm!"
For a moment, Qiu'er's entire body stiffened, her golden pupils contracting instantly. The strange intrusion made her instinctively want to retreat, but her long hair was held firmly by Dai Chengfeng, leaving her unable to move.
In an instant, Dai Chengfeng felt the body in his arms soften and tremble slightly, responding subtly to him.
"…Mmm…"
---
This kiss lasted for an unknown amount of time. When Qiu'er thought she might melt into water, Dai Chengfeng finally released her.
"Huff… Huff… Huff…"
At this moment, Qiu'er was panting heavily, her chest rising and falling dramatically. Her gaze was hazy and dazed, her cheeks flushed like the evening glow, and her slightly swollen lips shimmered with an enticing, dewy luster under the moonlight.
She looked thoroughly adored.
"Now… have you… learned?"
Hearing Dai Chengfeng's question, Qiu'er felt as if all her strength had been drained, collapsing limply in his arms, even her fingertips tingling.
She looked at Dai Chengfeng, her eyes filled with an intense emotion never seen before. She opened her mouth but couldn't form a complete syllable. In the end, she unconsciously nuzzled his chest, instinctively expressing her joy.
Like a young animal seeking affection.
This silent attachment and response made Dai Chengfeng understand.
He didn't ask again, nor did he need an answer.
For a long while, Qiu'er remained nestled in Dai Chengfeng's neck, her nose filled with his unique scent.
But her chaotic thoughts gradually became clear.
Her initial curiosity… her clumsy imitation… the inexplicable flutter when their lips first touched… then Dai Chengfeng's gentle yet assertive "teaching," gradually breaking down her confusion and defenses…
The subtle trembling brought by those gentle caresses…
Every step of this process, every frame, every sensation made Qiu'er realize…
The contact between lips was far more than just simple skin-to-skin touching.
Thinking this, Qiu'er slowly lifted her head, her crimson-gold eyes still misty but unusually bright.
She gazed at Dai Chengfeng's face, so close to hers, her voice soft and filled with sudden realization:
"Dai Chengfeng…"
Her fingers unconsciously tightened on the fabric of his shirt, her rosy lips still shimmering with dewy luster, slightly parting.
"…So this is what human kissing… is like…"
"It's not about strength, not about collision… it's… it's…"
Qiu'er struggled to find the words, realizing that the shallow human vocabulary she had learned couldn't describe her inner feelings.
In the end, it all condensed into an exclamation: "So… it's so… amazing…"
Dai Chengfeng looked at Qiu'er, who was as docile as a little kitten. "There's even more amazing stuff. Want to learn?"
"Eh?"
Qiu'er's eyes were filled with surprise. "Even more amazing? What is it?"
