The moment his lips brushed her cheek Lin Zhaoyue's body stilled.
For a brief second, her breathing paused and hen, slowly, her lashes trembled before fully opening her eyes.
Crimson pupils, still hazy with sleep, reflected his face at an extremely close distance.
Staring straight at him before her arms tightened Fang Yuan felt the pressure instantly increase.
"…Kiss me," she said quietly.
Her voice was soft, but there was a strange weight behind it.
Fang Yuan blinked once. "I just did."
There was a small pause as her gaze didn't leave his face for even a moment.
Before Fang Yuan could ask what, she leaned in closer, their foreheads nearly touching.
"…I was asleep, that doesn't count," she whispered.
Her grip tightened slightly, as if this was not a request but a command she fully expected to be obeyed.
Fang Yuan smiled faintly.
Then he leaned in and kissed her again.
This time, Lin Zhaoyue didn't stay still.
