“The craziest thing I have ever done was when I kissed a guy I have never met before on the road just to evade my pursuers. Thinking about it always gives me the chills,” Yang Zi said. The thought of the scene five years ago gave her goosebumps.

“You did what?” Yifeng asked, pretending to be surprised. “What did the guy say after you suddenly kissed him?” Yifeng asked, trying to get answers from her.

​​

“Surprisingly, he didn’t say or do anything to me. He just stood there like a log of wood. I bet he must have been startled by my boldness. At first, I even thought I stole his first kiss from him seeing he acted so bewildered but I later brushed that possibility off my mind,” Yang Zi said shrugging her shoulders.

“Would you recognise the guy if you were to ever meet him again?” Yifeng probed further. He didn’t want to lose the opportunity to ask her the question that has been on his mind for so long.

“No, I was in a hurry to even care about his face. I rushed off on the spot after apologising to him,” Yang Zi responded.

“My turn”, Yang Zi declared after she realised that Yifeng had been questioning her too much.

“Which is the first region your eyes would wander to if you were to see me naked?” Yang Zi asked. She gently hit her lips when she heard the obscene question she just asked him. She didn’t know what she was thinking to have come up with such a naughty question. The scene of her meeting Yifeng naked suddenly popped up in her head. Her eyes subconsciously trailed his chest and then down. Her eyes were as if she was seeing him naked at the moment.

“Hey Yang Zi, where is your mind wandering to?” Yifeng interrogated as he waved his right hand at her face. He felt so uncomfortable seeing her stare at him like that. Yang Zi instantly snapped back to her senses after Yifeng waved his hand at her face.

“Mhm,” absentminded Yang Zi exclaimed. “You don’t have to answer my question. I must have lost my mind for a minute to ask you such a silly question,” Yang Zi blurted, looking away.

“For you to ask me such a question, it reflects that you have already thought about it so it will be unfair if I don’t answer your question,” Yifeng said as he moved closer to her.

“If I am opportune to see you naked, hmmm…”, Yifeng trailed. As close as their position was to each other, he caught sight of her from her face, to her exposed neckline, to her breast which was moving in rhythm to her breathing. Yang Zi’s words interrupted him from observing further.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Yang Zi cross-questioned, trying to stand up, but Yifeng pulled her back on the bed. “You haven’t heard my answer yet”, Yifeng said, drawing his mouth closer to her ears. His breath tickled her bare neck, making her body stiffen. She stopped breathing without even realising it.

“My eyes will not only land at a place on your body but I will savour the moment”, Yifeng said. His answer startled Yang Zi a bit.

She expected him to say that he would immediately look away because it was her. Hence, his answer stunned her. They both turned around at the same time to look at each other. All at once, Yifeng’s lips pecked her cheeks while her lips too mistakenly touched his cheeks. This mere action froze Yang Zi on the spot. She glanced at him with surprise written all over her face. She instantly stood up to her feet after she got half of her senses back.

“Goo….. good night….,” Yang Zi stammered. She hated herself so much at that point for looking like a novice. Yifeng, who was always shell-shocked at how things turned out, stares at her blankly, uttering no words. Although his expression looked calm, deep down his mind was so unsettled. His heart was pounding faster against his chest.

“Goodnight. Don’t forget to cover yourself with the bedcover. You are still a patient. I am just one call away so call me in case you need anything”, Yang Zi mentioned before she walked away.

Yang Zi mumbled to herself before she closed the door behind her, “It’s so sad that this happy Yang Zi has to vanish by the end of tonight. She will once again be replaced by her normal mean, hot-tempered and indifferent self”. Maybe she thought Yifeng did not hear her, but he heard her words clearly. He somehow felt sad too, that they will have to go back to their usual hate relationship once the night ended,
