Chapitre 66: A kiss in the snow (2)

As the soft, fresh snow gently showered upon them, they closed their tear-filled eyes ever so gradually. Nobody really knew how it started.

But it was just…there.

The chilliness in the air made their lips tremble, but their warm breaths gave some comfort.

Was it loneliness? Or was it the pain they shared that led to this moment? They didn't know. They didn't want to know it either.

He kissed her. Tenderly moving his lips across hers in a gentle fluid motion as if a melancholic melody was playing. He slightly tilted her head, pressing his lips firmer upon hers but not making into a passionate kiss at the same time. His heart wasn't pounding furiously in excitement as he traced her lips but instead, it seemed to feel at peace. His chaotic breaths settled down. His flowing tears came to a halt.

It had brought immense relief to him when Ai affirmed that she wasn't afraid of him. Because he felt that if she had, something would have broken completely inside him.
