Bab 157: Chapter 158: Between Advancement and Retreat (2)

Qin Zhiyou didn't speak nor moved, maintaining the position of his arm propping the door.

Lu Weixi waited for a long time, but the man behind her remained motionless, not uttering a single word as if he were frozen in place.

The two were close though not touching. Yet, she could still feel his presence right behind her, his warm breath in each exhale. His breathing fanned gently on the back of her neck, causing her whisps of hair to sway slightly.

Feeling a tad restless, she turned around and said, "Can we leave? I need to change clothes."

As she turned, the movement seemed to lightly brush against his chin. She could even feel the prickliness of his stubbly chin.

This sudden physical contact momentarily stunned both Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou.

Qin Zhiyou's stance shifted a bit, leaning back slightly as if to avoid the unforeseen collision. Yet he only leaned back a smidge, his arm still propping the door, ensuring he moved not an inch.
