Caught off guard, Gu Jue was suddenly pulled by Lu Sangjiu. He lost his balance and was yanked forward, stumbling toward her.
Fortunately, his reflexes were quick. He managed to plant his hands on the rock in time, steadying himself just before he could touch her.
Though he hadn't touched her, his hands were now braced on either side of Lu Sangjiu, leaving them incredibly close.
He instinctively glanced up, and his eyes landed on her fair, jade-like neck.
For a moment, his mind went completely blank. He just stared, utterly unsure how to react.
The atmosphere was intensely intimate, but the drunken Lu Sangjiu was too out of it to notice.
So, without a hint of shyness, she raised her hand and—WHACK—slapped him on the head. "What are you spacing out for!"
Gu Jue: "…"
The slap snapped him back to his senses. Ashamed of his reaction just moments before, he scrambled to straighten up.
He had just regained his footing when Lu Sangjiu tugged on him again.
