Summer must be upon us.
This errant thought ran through Yan Zheyun's mind before dissipating like wisps of smoke when he tried to grasp onto it. It was too warm, sweat sliding down the curve of his spine to pool in the dip of the small of his back. Despite the sticky heat clinging to his skin, he shivered when an open-mouthed kiss was pressed to the nape of his neck, his fingers twitching in reflex and clanging against the wrong string at the wrong time.
A discordant note rang out in the air, the ambiguous tension in the air somehow heightening instead of dissipating when he felt Liu Yao's laughter stir stray hairs tucked behind his ear.
A/N: Thank you very much for reading! <3 As always, the sexy stuff is a lot harder to write x.x I've been planning this scene for forever but it kept changing whenever I thought "ah, this doesn't suit, the pace is wrong, this development is too quick etc", and ended up rewriting a lot of it so I hope you enjoyed! And when Liu Yao says soon, he means soon (: I would also like to reassure at this point that there won't be a lot of misunderstandings or anything between the main couple. (:
And with this, we conclude Volume 2! Volume 3 will begin in a couple of days, once again, I apologise for being unable to update daily as I get my life back in order and I appreciate your continued support!
All the amazing feedback that I have received so far, be it the kind and thoughtful well-wishes or the helpful typo-catching and editing, are super appreciated. I miss being able to respond to each one individually but I don't have the time or energy at the moment unfortunately, trying to get as much rest as possible while juggling a lot of things at once. But please know that I read each and every one of them and will reply at first given opportunity. Thank you, all of you. <3
