Chapter 328 Miss Shi kissed him
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the carved window lattice, casting a warm yellow glow on the desk.
Shi Wanxia sat at her desk, spread out Xuan paper, and dipped her brush in thick ink, preparing to record the detailed process of movable type printing.
Just as she finished writing, a sudden, urgent knocking sounded, startling her so much that her pen left a crooked mark on the paper.
"coming."
She put down her brush, got up and walked towards the door, wondering to herself who would come to disturb her at this time.
The door slowly opened, revealing Cui Zhihao's somewhat disheveled figure.
He looked much thinner than he had been for many days. His once neat clothes were now wrinkled, and there were heavy bruises under his eyes, as if he hadn't had a proper rest in a while.
The moment she saw him, Shi Wanxia's heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously gripped the doorknob tightly.
"Brother Cui... Brother Cui, you...!"
Before she could finish speaking, Cui Zhihao stepped forward and, in broad daylight, pulled her tightly into his arms.
His arms trembled slightly, and his voice was soft, carrying a hint of undisguised grievance: "Miss Shi, I...I love you."
Even if you push me away and disagree, I... please don't reject me, Miss Shi!
Shi Wanxia was taken aback by the sudden hug, and her cheeks instantly burned.
She could feel Choi Jiho's heart pounding violently, one beat after another, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
Choi Jiho's eyes were so tender they could melt, and his grip on her hand was firm, as if he was afraid she would disappear in the next second.
He greedily inhaled the delicate fragrance emanating from Shi Wanxia, and all the longing he had felt over the past few days surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.
He recalled the scenes of arguing with his parents at home these past few days.
His parents' opposition and the persuasion of relatives and friends could not sway him in the slightest.
After countless sleepless nights, he finally made up his mind to return here regardless of everything, just to confess his feelings to her.
When Shi Wanxia realized what was happening, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
It turns out that my feelings were not one-sided.
She looked up at Cui Zhihao's haggard appearance and felt a pang of heartache; she had dragged him down with her.
Cui Zhihao lowered his head, gazing tenderly at Shi Wanxia. Just as he was about to speak, Shi Wanxia didn't want to hear him continue.
At this moment, she only wanted to follow her heart.
Shi Wanxia blushed and boldly tiptoed, gently wrapping her arms around Cui Zhihao's neck.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation, as she pulled him toward her.
Choi Ji-ho's words caught in his throat, and he froze on the spot, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The moment their noses touched, Shi Wanxia closed her eyes and pressed her lips to Cui Zhihao's lips.
The kiss, carrying the heat of summer and the shyness of a young girl, struck Choi Ji-ho like an electric current.
His pupils contracted sharply, and his hands instinctively hovered in mid-air, momentarily forgetting to react.
Time seemed to stand still, and the sound of the wind seemed to stop abruptly at that moment.
It took Choi Ji-ho an unknown amount of time before he slowly came to his senses.
Just then, Choi Ji-ho suddenly leaned down and kissed her warm lips.
Her lips were exceptionally moist, and a faint, lingering fragrance wafted from her body.
Choi Ji-ho felt that his long-standing self-control was about to get out of control.
At this moment, Shi Wanxia's face was flushed and her heart was racing.
She even forgot to push him away, letting him linger on her lips.
Self-discipline and adherence to propriety, being a humble gentleman—these were all things she imagined herself to be.
His hands gently landed on Shi Wanxia's waist, pulling her closer to him and deepening the kiss.
His kiss was both cautious and filled with long-suppressed longing and affection.
Shi Wanxia felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning.
She could feel Choi Jiho's hot breath and his heart beating just as fiercely as hers.
When the two finally parted, Shi Wanxia's cheeks were so red they almost bled, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
Cui Zhihao stared at her, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice terribly hoarse: "Miss Shi, I didn't expect..."
"Stop talking." Shi Wanxia reached out her finger and gently covered his mouth.
"I don't want to hear any rational advice. All I know is that I miss you, I miss you so much."
A touch of emotion flashed in Cui Zhihao's eyes. He hugged Shi Wanxia tightly and rested his chin on the top of her head: "I've missed you too. I've been thinking about you every moment these days."
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting its glow on the two figures embracing.
After a long while, Cui Zhihao took Shi Wanxia's hand and sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.
He recounted his experiences over the past few days in detail, and Shi Wanxia listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words.
A gentle breeze swept by, ruffling the strands of hair around Shi Wanxia's ears.
Choi Jiho gently reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
His fingertips gently traced her cheek, his eyes filled with doting affection: "Miss Shi, from now on, I won't keep you waiting for too long."
He was too impulsive today and offended the beauty, but he doesn't regret it.
In his mind, Shi Wanxia had always been a reserved and introverted girl, and he never imagined that she would do something so bold.
In a moment of impulse, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Brother Cui.
Looking back now, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she was filled with regret.
How could I have been so bold as to kiss Brother Cui? What will he think of me?
"Miss Shi." A gentle voice came from above. Shi Wanxia stiffened. She knew without looking up that it was Cui Zhihao.
Cui Zhihao slowly sat down beside her, his gaze fixed on the ground, not daring to look at Shi Wanxia.
His ear tips turned slightly red, and he kept replaying the sudden kiss in his mind.
In that instant, he almost lost control and nearly succumbed to Shi Wanxia's tenderness.
He feared he might lose control again and do something inappropriate to the beautiful woman.
“Brother Cui, just now…” Shi Wanxia bit her lower lip, mustering her courage to explain.
“Miss Shi, I understand your feelings. I should be the one to confess. How can I let you…” Cui Zhihao interrupted her.
"I don't regret what just happened. From the first moment I saw you, my heart was captivated by you."
He took a deep breath and finally looked at the rain curtain in the distance.
"You belong only to yourself, and I am willing to belong to you."
Even if it means marrying into my family, I want to be with you forever and never be apart.
Shi Wanxia's heart suddenly raced. She secretly glanced at Cui Zhihao and saw that his profile was resolute and that there were fine beads of sweat on his eyelashes.
Thinking that she had been captivated by his handsome appearance and had impulsively kissed him, her cheeks burned even hotter.
“Brother Cui, actually I…” Shi Wanxia’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz. Before she could finish speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew in, causing the branches of the trees in the yard to shake violently. A jasmine flower was blown down and drifted toward Shi Wanxia.
Choi Jiho instinctively reached out to shield her from the falling petals, but accidentally touched her hair.
Both of them froze, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.
Choi Ji-ho hurriedly withdrew his hand, his ear tips turning bright red as if they were about to bleed, and his eyes once again looked away in a panic.
Shi Wanxia also lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.
Seeing the girl's shy and charming appearance, Cui Zhihao couldn't resist. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, making her sit on his lap.
