It was only when the kiss grew dangerously heated that Jiang Yue finally came to her senses. Her breath caught, and she quickly pulled away, her cheeks flushed as she turned her face aside.
For a moment, neither spoke.
Luo Zhelan stared at her, his own breathing slightly uneven. He cleared his throat, as though that might somehow restore the composure he'd nearly lost, then reached over and gently fixed the headphones around her ears, adjusting them back into place.
"There," he murmured.
His fingers lingered for a brief moment before he withdrew his hand.
Perhaps sensing that staying silent would only make the tension worse, he looked toward the helicopter window and deliberately changed the subject.
"I haven't seen you much these past few days."
Jiang Yue looked at him.
"How are you and Xiao Xiu?"
His tone remained casual, but there was genuine concern beneath it, "Gao Tian mentioned that you've been busy trying to find evidence against Xia Mingzhou."
