A Passionate Kiss

“A deep kiss?”

Xin Hai'an froze, her mind seemingly short-circuiting as she wondered if she had misheard him.

Only when she saw Bai Xiaodu sitting up straight, maintaining his serious expression, did she realize he was serious.

Xin Hai'an finally snapped out of it.

“Are you serious?”

Bai Xiaodu nodded vigorously.

Crossing his arms, his face was the picture of earnestness.

“Of course! How could I joke about something like this?”

“Because Xiaobai has never met anyone as beautiful, noble, and willing to be so good to me as you are! Just being with you makes me happy. You're completely different from everyone else!”

As his voice trailed off...

A faint blush quickly crept onto her cheeks, and her breathing quickened. For a moment, Xin Hai'an didn't know what to say.

Whether in the outside world or within the Vampire clan, Xin Hai'an had always maintained a rational, cold demeanor.

Even when suitors tried to win her favor, they always did their utmost to display politeness and cultivation, terrified of doing something wrong and earning her disgust.

Therefore, she had never received such a direct, almost offensive confession.

She pressed a hand to her forehead, unable to comprehend his train of thought.

“You want this?”

“So you volunteered to risk your life as a Rank 0.3 Mage to defeat a Rank 0.6 Ranger, refused potions, spells, armor, and wands... just so you could kiss me?”

Xin Hai'an felt both exasperated and amused.

If Jedoli's audacity was as vast as the sky, then Bai Xiaodu's lustful daring surpassed the heavens!

However...

Staring at the Affection progress bar on Xin Hai'an's character card, which was stubbornly stuck at 49, Bai Xiaodu couldn't help but scream internally.

Having already reaped massive benefits from Lingxin, Bai Xiaodu guessed that whatever rewards Xin Hai'an would grant at 50 Affection points wouldn't be weak either.

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Seamlessly replacing them was a pair of cute, wine-red eyes filled with anticipation and a hint of excitement, carrying a somewhat pitiful, puppy-dog look.

Bai Xiaodu nodded vigorously once more to make his stance clear.

He absolutely had to get this kiss today!

But his current Affection level wasn't high enough yet. Otherwise, Bai Xiaodu would have directly proposed fondling her baby cafeteria.

He didn't know what criteria the system used for its character cards, but not a single one of them had a chest small enough to be cupped in one hand.

There's a chance!

“I know you must be very confused, but I have to say, this is what I truly want.”

Bai Xiaodu took a deep breath.

“I have so many regrets in my life! Like the time I failed an exam when I could have scored a hundred, or when I finally mustered the courage to talk to a pretty girl only to be beaten up by some jerk claiming to be her boyfriend, or when I excitedly clicked a 'study link' shared by a netizen only to find out it was actually a real study link... There are just too many!”

Before Xin Hai'an could process these bizarre complaints, Bai Xiaodu quickly pressed on.

“The moment I laid eyes on you, I was struck by your ethereal beauty. I don't think anyone else will ever make my heart flutter like this again for a very, very long time!”

“Sister Xin Hai'an, can you understand? I know that in your eyes, I'm probably just a coach whose lessons will end when the contract is up. But... but I don't want to look back in the future and deeply regret that we drifted apart with no connection left. I don't want to regret being too insecure to even try kissing you!”

He was finally finished.

Delivering this massive monologue almost made Bai Xiaodu pass out from a lack of oxygen.

Taking a brief moment to catch his breath, he hurriedly looked up, intending to add a bit more.

But then, a sudden warmth pressed against his lips.

Caught completely off guard, a warm, moist sensation, accompanied by an orchid-like fragrance, proactively locked onto his lips!

A warm, overwhelmingly sweet breath instantly filled his mouth.

Bai Xiaodu was utterly stunned.

At such close proximity, Bai Xiaodu could clearly see Xin Hai'an's long, pale silver eyelashes, which trembled in rhythm with her breathing.

Her smooth, delicate nostrils flared slightly as her nose pressed firmly against his, almost as if they were glued together.

“Mmh... mmh.”

This kiss was indeed incredibly intense.

It proved that Xin Hai'an had truly taken his words to heart.

But her technique...

Who on earth taught her that kissing meant shoving her tongue into someone else's mouth and swirling it around haphazardly?

She was even licking the gaps between his teeth!

If it weren't for the fact that Xin Hai'an's stats were off the charts and her beauty was absolutely top-tier, Bai Xiaodu would have pulled away and spat on the spot from such a rough, skill-less assault.

Feeling incredibly helpless, Bai Xiaodu had no choice but to slide his hands along the curves of her body, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and locking his fingers behind her back.

Tightening his embrace slightly, he took advantage of her momentary confusion to gently meet her tongue with his own.

Bai Xiaodu could have easily swirled his tongue around hers to initiate a proper, lingering French kiss.

But he held back, merely guiding the pace.

After all, his current persona was that of a cute, innocent virgin boy who still had his first kiss, so how could he show more expertise than a mature woman like Xin Hai'an!

Xin Hai'an continued her clumsy, chaotic swirling. Just as Bai Xiaodu was about to reach his limit, her tongue finally found the right rhythm during one of their contacts.

A proper kiss!

Tears practically welled up in Bai Xiaodu's eyes.

Hesitating no longer, as a physically healthy and fully developed male, even if his initial goal was just to raise her Affection, he naturally wanted to enjoy the kiss.

His breathing grew heavy, and his gaze turned hazy.

This long, deep kiss lasted for a full ten minutes.

When Bai Xiaodu finally broke it off, the two of them, who had been tangled together like octopuses, slowly parted.

Xin Hai'an panted heavily. Perspiration from her nervousness trickled down the curve of her cheek.

Her white collar was partially damp, and beneath the fabric, her cleavage formed a visually perfect, subtly defined pair of mounds right before Bai Xiaodu's eyes.

A thread of glistening saliva hung from her red lips. Instead of wiping it away, Xin Hai'an's first instinct was to slowly lick it back in.

A look of pure satisfaction appeared on her face.

She cast a glance at Bai Xiaodu, her elegant brows arching slightly as she spoke in a teasing, big-sisterly tone.

“Was that kiss deep enough?”

“Why did you pull away first? Is that tiny bit of stimulation too much for you to handle? Hmm?”

Bai Xiaodu quickly wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

Hearing her words, he felt a bit embarrassed.

“It's not that...”

“Sister Xin Hai'an, didn't you go a little too hard?”

“If you hadn't let go, you would've sucked the phlegm right out of my—”
