บท 190: Chapter 189: Backed Down, Soothing with a Gentle Voice

An ambiguous atmosphere quietly lingered between the two of them.

Shen Chuwei felt her face heating up inexplicably as Xiao Jinyan continued to stare at her.

Not sleeping, what did he have in mind?

Did he want to talk deep into the night?

But she wanted to sleep!

Xiao Jinyan's slender fingers reached out to her jaw, gently grazing her lips. The touch was soft, but his hand couldn't truly appreciate the sensation.

All of a sudden, alarm bells went off in Shen Chuwei's head. Xiao Jinyan had made this move two or three times before, and it had always ended with a kiss. Was he planning to kiss her again this time?

Considering this possibility, Shen Chuwei decided to take preemptive action to defuse her own crisis.

She propped herself up from the bed slowly, her hand landing on Xiao Jinyan's chest. She had intended to touch his right shoulder, but her arm wasn't long enough, so it rested on his chest instead.
