"DO YOU LOVE THIS PLACE!?" a voice echoed through the night air. I turned back, surprised to see who was speaking. "It's me, my princess " Bai Long said with a smile. I felt a flutter in my chest as I realized he had followed me. "Did you follow me!!??" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant despite the surprise.
"Mm-hmm, yeah," he replied, his voice low and smooth. "I heard about what the emperor had said to you, about our marriage!" I felt a pang of unease at the mention of our arranged marriage. "Hmm," I murmured, not knowing what to say.
"By the way, I've found out who gave us drugs that day," Bai Long said, his eyes locked on mine. "I don't know why she did it, but we can go tomorrow together and ask all the questions in our minds." I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the mystery. "Ohh... okayyy " I said, my curiosity piqued.
As we stood there, I realized that I was getting hungry. "Hey, I'm hungry," I said, turning to Bai Long. "Do you want to eat something too?" He nodded, and we decided to head to a nearby restaurant.
As we sat down to eat, Bai Long suddenly said, "Hey, my princess, something is on your lips." I looked up at him, confused. "Huh!"
"Let me clean it for you " he said, his finger gently brushing against my lips. I felt a strange sensation, like a spark of electricity had passed between us. As he looked into my eyes, I felt my face grow hot, and I wondered if I was blushing.
"Why are you blushing " Bai Long asked, his voice low and teasing. I tried to play it cool, but my face felt like it was on fire. "Huhh! I am blushing? You have definitely lost your mind, that's why you're just imagining such a thing," I said, trying to brush it off. "Okay "
But before I could react, Bai Long leaned in and kissed me. I felt like my world had come to a standstill. "H-hu-huh!! Have you lost your mind " I exclaimed, my voice barely above a whisper.
Bai Long chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement and kissed me again "Now you said that I have lost my mind, so I was just proving your point a little ".
My face turned even redder, and I felt like I wanted to hide somewhere.

As I stood there, frozen in shock, Bai Long's smile lingered in my mind. I couldn't believe what had just happened.
My face still burning with embarrassment, I turned and walked away, leaving Bai Long behind. As soon as we came back, I went straight to my room without saying a single word .
