As she was trapped in his arms, the warmth made her tremble slightly.

His senses were clear, and his arms tightened even further, but the kiss remained very light, dense, and continuous.

She was teased by him until her face turned red and her heart began to beat faster. She shrank further into his arms and grabbed his hand again as she called out to him in a soft and low voice.

“Second Brother, it’s ticklish.”

Lu Huaiyu seemed to laugh.

“I thought I wasn’t allowed to leave a mark?”

A certain sensual and flirtatious memory flashed through her mind, and Shen Li’s face instantly turned even redder.

His words made him sound as if he was being merciful and deliberately thinking of her!

However, he was doing it on purpose!

As he spoke, he kissed her gently. The almost shuddering numbness started from the place where his lips touched her, spreading down her spine rapidly, and almost instantly numbing half of her body.

Her legs were weak, and her whole body was hot.

Lu Huaiyu saw that her tender earlobes had turned so red that they almost looked blood red. His heart moved as he moved closer to her.

The tip of his tongue curled slightly, and he took the softness between his lips and teeth.

Shen Li’s pale fingers on the back of his hand suddenly tightened, and she called out to him in embarrassment,”Lu Huaiyu! Do you still want to drink the coffee?!”

Her voice was husky and soft. No matter how fierce her tone was, it still sounded sweet and seductive.

Lu Huaiyu chuckled and finally let go of her soft body. He cupped her chin with one hand and made her turn around to kiss her lips in a soothing manner.

“Yes, I do. Why wouldn’t I want to drink it?”

His kiss had robbed Shen Li of her speech.

He only let go of her after feeling mildly satisfied.

It took a long while before the heat on Shen Li’s face finally subsided.

When the sweet and sour fragrance gradually dispersed, she finally remembered something. She pointed to the low ponytail at the back of her head and picked up on the question she had just asked.

“This hair tie–”

Lu Huaiyu knew what she wanted to ask. He pulled a stool over and sat down. Then, he looked up with a smile on his face.

“Yes, it’s the one I asked you to swap with.”

That was when they had first met at the Ye family. He had smashed the watch for her, and she had said that she wanted to compensate him. However, he had only asked for her hair tie in return.

“It’s been so long, yet Second Brother is still keeping it.”

Shen Li could not help but raise her hand to touch it. Its texture was very ordinary, the most common and ordinary kind.

She had not expected him to keep it for so long.

“You gave it to me, so of course, I had to keep it,” Lu Huaiyu said with a smile.

Shen Li did not correct him. She had not given it to him, he had asked for it from her.

Actually, this was no longer important.

What was important was that she knew that it was what he wanted, and she had been willing to give it to him.

Lu Huaiyu looked at her as she concentrated on grinding the coffee. He lowered his head slightly, looking very focused.

Even though he was just looking at her quietly, something seemed to be surging in his heart, filling up the incomplete black hole.

It smoothed out all the waves easily.

Time passed slowly.

Shen Li brewed the first cup of coffee and gently pushed it in front of him.

“Second Brother, please try it.”

Lu Huaiyu picked up the cup. The slightly sour and mellow taste was almost intoxicating.

Shen Li made a cup for herself and sat down beside him, holding the cup and taking a sip.

“What do you think?”

She raised her eyelashes and asked.

Lu Huaiyu held the cup in one hand and looked at her with a smile.

“Shen Tangtang, did you specifically study what kind of flavor I like? How else would you always be able to get exactly what I want every time?”

Shen Li’s heart jumped.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fingers tightened slightly.

After a moment, she took another sip and gave a confident answer.

“Well, I was the one who made it, after all.”

Lu Huaiyu was momentarily stunned, but then he could not help but laugh.

“Well, I made it. Of course, you’d like it.”

She rarely said such things. To his ears, every word seemed domineering and coquettish at the same time.

He put down the cup, took her cup, and put it aside. He leaned over and pulled her toward him at the same time.

Shen Li leaned forward and stepped on the base of his stool. At the same time, one of her hands subconsciously propped one hand on his knee.

Lu Huaiyu cupped her small face. Her soft cheeks were slightly sunken, and her red lips were swollen.

Her peach blossom eyes were moist and bright, clean and clear. She gazed into the deepest part of his eyes.

He chuckled softly.

“It’s just because I like you.”

Shen Li blinked.

Lu Huaiyu could not do anything to her. Seeing how obedient she was, his Adam’s apple moved a little. His fingertips gently rubbed against her lips, but he could not help but lower his head and kiss her.

‘Who asked me to like you so much?

‘So whatever you want is fine. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a gift.’

…

With one cup of coffee, a few hours passed without them realizing it.

When it was almost noon, Lu Huaiyu asked her what she wanted to eat, and Shen Li suggested hot pot.

The nearest restaurant was only one street away, so the two discussed walking there.

Lu Huaiyu went back to the master bedroom to change his clothes. When he came back out, he saw Shen Li sitting on the living room sofa.

In front of her was the coffee table.

All she needed to do was raise her hand and she would be able to see the two books inside.

Lu Huaiyu’s eyes narrowed.

As if sensing something, Shen Li looked up.

“Second Brother, what’s wrong?”

She asked.

Lu Huaiyu’s gaze fell on her face.

“There’s a book that I can’t find.”

Shen Li was stunned for a moment.

“What book is that?”

Just as Lu Huaiyu was about to reply, Shen Li’s phone rang.

She lowered her head to look at it.

“Second Brother, I’ve gotten the number. It should be our turn soon.”

The rest of Lu Huaiyu’s words suddenly paused.

Shen Li said, “I remember that Second Brother likes their slippery shrimp with cheese, but it sells out too quickly every time. Today is also Saturday… Second Brother, what book was it that you mentioned just now? Would you like me to help you find it?”

Lu Huaiyu paused for a moment and smiled.

“There’s no need, it’s not very important. I’ll look for it myself later. Aren’t you hungry?”

He went over to her and took her hand.

“Let’s go.”
