Holding Qi Man tightly as they sat on the suite's sofa, Gu Bai lay still with his eyes closed, enveloped in the scent of Qi Man's perfume.
Qi Man, held in Gu Bai's embrace, was tense, her muscles stiffened, barely moving except for the occasional tremble.
"Why are you trembling?"
Gu Bai opened his eyes and looked at her.
"I'm not ready yet..."
"Relax, it's broad daylight, I won't do anything to you."
Hearing Gu Bai's words, Qi Man finally let her guard down, her tense body softened, and she leaned against the sofa with Gu Bai, gazing at the luxuriously adorned surroundings. Qi Man squinted and slowly asked, "Gu Bai."
"Hmm?"
"If I hadn't taken the initiative with you, would we still be like this?"
"We probably still would, but it all depends on you."
