âUncle, did you get it wrong?â Jian Dan teased, moving closer to Chu Liyuan and looking up at him with a mockingly challenging gaze.
Chu Liyuan observed her smug expression, a devilish smile curled the corners of his mouth. He stretched out his hand to Jian Danâs neck and with a pull, his lips accurately landed on Jian Danâs red lips.
Jian Danâs body stiffened, her toes curled inside her shoes, expressing her emotion, and her hands turned into tight fists.
Chu Liyuan did not linger for too long. After a brief touch, like a dragonfly skimming water, he left Jian Jianâs lips.
âUncle, what are you doing?â
âYou made me jealous, so of course you have to take responsibility. Didnât you do the same to make me feel better before?â
Upon hearing Uncleâs words, Jian Dan couldnât help but smile at the corners of her mouth.
âUncle, what if someone sees us like this?â
âSo what if they do? Iâm kissing my own wife. Itâs reasonable and legal. Who dares to say anything?â
His words left her without a rebuttal.
How could Uncleâs commanding presence be so handsome? Itâs fatally charming!
âItâs justâ¦â Chu Liyuan did not relax his arm around Jian Danâs neck.
âWhat?â
âIt seems like the intensity wasnât enough just now!â
He captured Jian Danâs lips once more.
Jian Dan slowly closed her eyes, her hands moved to Chu Liyuanâs neck, her toes gently rose, immersing herself in this protracted kiss.
The two kissed passionately, so absorbed that they failed to notice Zhang Yang not far away.
Zhang Yang had witnessed this scene on his way back with the firewood.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing the girl he liked engrossed in a kiss with another man, his arms tightened unconsciously around the branches, his body shook slightly, his mouth clenched shut, and the muscles in his jawline were taut. His attractive brows furrowed deeply, his eyes filled with raging jealousy.
Zhang Yang desperately wanted to look away, but his body wouldnât allow it. He just stood there, watching the two entwined together, until they reluctantly parted.
After they separated, especially Jian Danâs gaze, it pierced his heart anew.
It was the look of a young girl smitten with her beloved man, her whole being radiated sweetness, and all of it informing Zhang Yang that she was in love with the man before her.
âUncle, weâve been away for quite a while, letâs hurry back!â
âAlright!â Chu Liyuan naturally took Jian Danâs small hand and headed in the direction of the campâ¦
After the two had left, Zhang Yang emerged from behind a tree, his grip on the branches loosened, and they fell to the groundâ¦
He looked like a defeated rooster.
Zhang Yang didnât pick up the branches that had fallen to the ground but walked back with a vacant stare and a look of utter dejectionâ¦
Upon seeing the camp, Jian Dan withdrew her hand from Uncleâs grasp, looked up at him with a sweet smile, and then ran off.
âJian, why were you gone for so long? You didnât happen to be with Teacher Zhangâ¦â Xiaoting, upon seeing Jian Danâs radiant expression, imagined that Jian had spent time with Zhang Yang collecting branches and that they had sparked a bit of romance.
But a quick glance around didnât reveal Zhang Yangâs figure. âHey, whereâs Teacher Zhang? Why didnât he come back with you?â
âI didnât find him!â
âYou didnât find Teacher Zhang?â
âYes! Iâve been looking for a while and couldnât find him. Are you sure you saw Teacher Zhang go that way?â
âOf course, Iâm sure! How could he not be found?â
âItâs okay, Teacher Zhang is a grown man; he should be fine. Heâll probably be back soon.â
âButâ¦â Had her carefully planned first step failed just like that?
âLook, there he is!â Jian Dan looked up and saw Zhang Yang returning from the direction she had just come from. âTold you thereâs no need to worry!â
Xiaoting followed Jian Danâs pointing finger and saw Zhang Yang.
At that moment, Zhang Yang resembled a lifeless zombie, moved only by a primal desire..
