At the moment, the screen was showing an intimate scene between the male and female leads. They were kissing, and the female lead had her hands around the male leadâs neck.
They walked from the living room to the bedroom, kissing all the way, and the scene made people blush and their hearts race.
Come on! This TV drama doesnât have much romance, right?
How come itâs so steamy all of a sudden!
If she were alone, she could slowly enjoy watching it, but with him next to her, it was just awkward.
So Veronica could only pray in her heart that this intimate scene would pass quickly. But unfortunately, after the female lead kissed the male lead all the way to the bedroom, the camera didnât cut to the next morning. Instead, the two of them started rolling around in bed.
Veronica didnât know what to say anymore. Who knows how long this will take? Right now, she just felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
âUmâ¦how about we change the channel?â She said awkwardly, reaching for the TV remote.
But before her hand could touch the remote, he stopped her. âThereâs no need to change the channel.
Itâs just some intimate scenes. Are you feeling embarrassed?â He asked.
âUmâ¦a little bit,â she said, feeling embarrassed.
âBut even if the performance is intimate, itâs fake, isnât it? So whatâs there to be embarrassed about?â He asked.
Thatâs true, but itâs still embarrassing!
Veronica looked at Mason. It seemed like he had always been like this, his way of receiving emotions was different from ordinary people.
âWhatâs wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?â He asked.
âI just feel like you might lack a certain sense of empathy,â she murmured. âBecause even though we know itâs fake and acting, when we watch TV dramas, our emotions will follow the protagonistâs emotions and the development of the story. When we see this kind of plot, most people will naturally feel embarrassed.â
âI really donât think that just a simple physical touch like this would be embarrassing,â he said.
She was speechless. Did he need even more explicit scenes to feel embarrassed?
âThatâs because you havenât met someone you like. If it were in real life and the person you like did this to you, you would also feel embarrassed,â Veronica said, relieved that the TV scene had finally ended and the plot had returned to normal.
âReal life?â he pondered, staring at her.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of unease rising in her heart. The next moment, that unease became a reality.
âSo, do you want to do this kind of thing to me?â he asked.
âAhem!â She felt like she was choking on her own saliva. Okay, he was always so shocking and unpredictable!
âNo, absolutely not!â she hurriedly denied. âHow could I want to do this kind of thing to you?â
âDidnât you say you liked me?â he said. âOr was that a lie?â
She froze. âIâ¦I havenât figured out what kind of liking I have for you yet. Besides, you donât like it when others do this kind of thing to you, do you?â
âWeâre trying to date now, arenât we? So doing this kind of thing isnât a big deal. Moreover, since you canât figure out what kind of liking you have for me, isnât it a good opportunity for you to clarify what your liking for me really is?â he said calmly.
