Shi Mei bit her lower lip, her hands fixed above her head, inexplicably feeling a sense of conquest.
Shi Mei opened her eyes to look at him, and Shi Lingyan's eyes were slightly narrowed, as if aware of her gaze. His other hand grasped her chin and he lowered his head to capture her lips and tongue.
The pain gradually faded, and Shi Mei broke free from his hands, hugged his neck, and whispered breathlessly, "Ah Ling... I... love you..."
Shi Lingyan's Adam's apple tightened, and his originally forced gentleness exploded uncontrollably like a volcano in response to her words, a fierce impulse surged unchecked.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Tang Wu became acutely aware of the light fading inch by inch around her.
Tang Wu felt as if she was perpetually at the apex, the sensation of being suspended made her uneasy yet addicted.
As consciousness returned, she heard Shi Lingyan gasping, repeating her name over and over, "Tang Wu, Tang Wu, I love you..."
