Chapter 2191 — A Certain Sense of Loss
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
This intimate, ambiguous atmosphere of being alone together stirred Wei Zhao too, in truth... Watching a movie with a beautiful girl—especially one he felt something for—it would have been impossible for Wei Zhao not to be moved.
In fact, ever since he'd first met Wang Xinyan on the train, Wei Zhao had felt a little something for her. It was just that afterward they'd only been casual acquaintances, and then he'd gotten a girlfriend in Feng Xiaoxiao, so he hadn't thought much more about it.
But who would have guessed that they'd run into each other again at university—and that during military training so much had happened, sharing hardships and trials and more than a few tantalizing glimpses, quietly changing the way Wei Zhao felt about Wang Xinyan.
If it were possible, having a girlfriend like Wang Xinyan would truly be a wonderful thing. It was just that Wei Zhao wasn't quite sure of her attitude now. She had a fiancé, and her relationship with him—though there had been a few ambiguous moments—was more like that of a close confidante.
Of course, Wang Xinyan was a quiet, gentle soul, and Wei Zhao feared that showing his feelings too plainly would frighten her, so their relationship had a certain quality of the gentleman's friendship—plain as water.
"You... you're so close to me... what are you doing..." Wang Xinyan finally couldn't help but stammer out.
"Being close works better..." Much as Wei Zhao relished the feeling, if he told her the honest truth he'd probably earn himself a slap or watch her turn and walk away, so he could only pin the reason on the **—and he wasn't lying to her, either. That was indeed how it was.
"Oh..." Hearing him say so, Wang Xinyan said nothing more...
Still, having tasted a bit of sweetness, one wants to push further—that's only human nature. Though Wei Zhao reminded himself not to go too far, the thrill of his rapid ** made him lose himself a little, and quite naturally he reached out and wrapped his arms around Wang Xinyan, drawing her into his embrace...
Wang Xinyan's body went stiff, her lovely eyes staring at Wei Zhao in disbelief. She hadn't expected him to be so bold as to actually hug her! Even for the sake of **, wasn't that going a bit too far?
Frowning, she wanted to push Wei Zhao away and scold him, but then she saw that his eyes were closed and he was concentrating earnestly on his **, with none of that leering expression on his face, and she stopped herself...
She wasn't a ** herself, but she'd heard enough about ** to know that when they were focused on their **, they generally must not be disturbed at will—and if they were, there was a real danger of qi deviation!
So although being held by Wei Zhao left her flustered and embarrassed, the thought that interrupting him might do him harm made her grit her teeth and endure it, cheeks burning all the while!
