Qin Yize didnât expect Gu Qiaoqiao to react so strongly.
He felt quite guilty inside.
The key issue was, it was so late, he couldnât just knock on the door of Gu Garden.
But he didnât expect Gu Qiaoqiao to shoot without even looking.
Then, he vaguely understood.
Perhaps Gu Qiaoqiao mistook him for Dongfang Yu.
Yes, for someone like Dongfang Yu, there canât be any hesitation.
Shoot on sight.
Thatâs the best choice.
Qin Yize reached out and gently held Gu Qiaoqiaoâs hands.
He lowered his head, resting his forehead against hers, and said softly, "Qiaoqiao, donât be mad, itâs my fault this time, I scared you."
"What do you mean you scared me? Iâm not scared at all."
"If youâre not scared, why are you so angry?" Qin Yize raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.
"Iâm mad because you were sneaking around in the dead of night. Why didnât you come during the day?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked angrily.
At that moment, a slightly intoxicating atmosphere slowly enveloped the two of them.
Qin Yizeâs gaze became increasingly gentle.
"During the day, I had to go for another check-up and change my dressing. I was supposed to visit the elders tomorrow, but I just couldnât wait. Itâs been days, Qiaoqiao, days since Iâve seen you. I really missed you..."
Qin Yizeâs voice circled above Gu Qiaoqiaoâs head.
Their breaths entangled.
His words about missing her made Gu Qiaoqiaoâs heart race, as if it was filled with countless little bubbles.
It made her feel a little dizzy.
But then she recalled what had just happened, making her still somewhat frightened.
She said harshly, "But I donât miss you."
"Qiaoqiao, donât be mad. Let me be honest with you, Iâve had special training for situations like this. As long as you donât fire a second shot, I can dodge it," Qin Yize explained softly.
After all, the stones fired from Gu Qiaoqiaoâs slingshot pistol were different from real bullets.
And the position Qin Yize chose was instinctively the best angle.
From where he was standing, he could clearly see her.
He had the shortest time to react and dodge that stone bullet.
If the remaining four stone bullets had been fired, he probably wouldnât have been able to dodge them.
After Qin Yize patiently finished explaining, Gu Qiaoqiaoâs expression improved a lot.
Then she realized she was pinned against the wall by Qin Yize.
This position was too intimate.
They could hear each otherâs breathing.
Gu Qiaoqiao wasnât used to such an intimate posture.
She struggled lightly and whispered, "Qin Yize, let go of me first."
"Qiaoqiao, I missed you..."
Qin Yize spoke softly, his voice gentle with a hint of tenderness...
It stirred Gu Qiaoqiao emotionally.
She didnât know how to respond to Qin Yizeâs words.
Her hands were tightly held by Qin Yize.
Her shimmering eyes glistened under the dim light.
Qin Yizeâs heart fluttered, and he couldnât help but ask, "Qiaoqiao, do you miss me?"
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs heart tightened, but she stubbornly said, "Itâs only been a few days apart, I didnât even get a chance to miss you before you came."
"You stubborn little girl," Qin Yize said in a spiteful voice.
Then he didnât hesitate, let go of her hands, pulled her into his embrace, and lowered his head...
His cool lips sealed her long-desired red lips, a lingering, unforgettable kiss ensued...
Gu Qiaoqiao couldnât help but soften her body.
Her hands clutched Qin Yizeâs sweater to support herself.
