"A-anyway… rest well," Pan An said, making Shu Xian conscious as she realized how Pan An looked at her. "It's late."

"Uhh… yeah, you too."

However, both of them were standing still. Even though both of them already bode each other to rest well, they can't seem to avert their gazes on each other, making their heart race in their chest.

Looking at each other this way, made their hearts beat crazily in their chest. With Shu Xian's lips slightly parted, it made her look attractive with that soft blush on her face captivating Pan An.

With that, the professor took a few steps, Shu Xian, wondering why she isn't backing away. With both of them remembering the same memory of them kissing this morning, they looked at each other with longing in their eyes.

As if they read each other's thoughts, both of them inched in closer, Pan An now softly landing his lips on hers.

Pan An kissed her and the world fell away. It was slow and soft—gentle in ways that words would never be. His hand rested below her ear, his thumb caressing her cheek as their breaths mingled.

Shu Xian felt electricity course through her body once more. With her heart racing with the shared unexpected kiss, she thought to herself why both of them allowed this to happen, now the kiss sweeter unlike before.

She felt her heart racing in her chest. She remembered how good the kiss was earlier this morning, Pan An, thinking the same thing.

The professor didn't want to scare her since he knew that she's innocent when it comes to this. However, with her not stopping this, he couldn't help but think that Shu Xian may be into this as well—not bothered that they kissed again.

Shu Xian wanted to pull away before she lost control of herself for missing the feeling but she can't seem to. In this minty moment, her senses have been seduced and she can no longer think straight.

Without thinking of her actions, it's as if Shu Xian's body had acted on its own. She ran her fingers down his spine, pulling him closer until there was no space left between them. She could now feel the beating of his heart against her chest.

It was beating fast—as if his heart resonated and was in sync with her crazed heart. 

Soon after, Pan An's tongue brushed her lip, slightly surprising Shu Xian. It was like a tease but it was hot, fiery, passionate, and at the same time... quite demanding.

Pan An couldn't understand why, but with Shu Xian's action of pulling him closer to her, it had made him act in the same manner of stepping it up. 

Unexpectedly, his hand drifted to her hip. It settled there and pulled her closer as well. She hitched a breath as she felt the warmth of his body against hers, sending shockwaves throughout her whole body. 

Shu Xian splayed her hand against his perfect, chiseled chest, intending to push him away. But instead, she left it there.

Both of them thought that the kiss was only going to be brief but why did it feel so good? It's as if they didn't want to stop...

But they had to. 

They had to—because they don't even know why they suddenly kissed in the first place and why they allowed it to happen.

With that, the two broke away from the kiss at the same time. Their foreheads were against each other as their eyes were locked in their gaze. Their quickened breathing fanned on their lips, their heart having no intention of slowing down. 

Even though their foreheads were against each other's, both of them not saying a word as they stared into each other's eyes. They know that their hearts were beating crazily in their chest, a soft blush coming to their face as they realized that they were this close to each other.

With their breaths fanning on each other's lips, the one who spoke first was Pan An, surprising Shu Xian with what she heard.

"I'm sorry."

Pan An apologized. With him now breaking away from their close proximity, Shu Xian still looked at him straight in the eyes, wondering what he's apologizing for.

"For what?"

Pan An didn't know how to say it. With him sighing, he said what he thought was best anyway, making Shu Xian understand what he meant.

"For suddenly kissing you. You may think that I'm taking advantage of you," he added, making Shu Xian blink her eyes a few times.

With her face turning more red, she looked at the floor and spoke, mumbling to herself that was enough for Pan An to hear.

"Why are you apologizing… when I actually liked it?"

Pan An didn't expect that Shu Xian would say something as daring as this. With what he heard slightly surprising him, he looked at her again, taking a few steps closer as he made her face him with the way he tipped her chin up.

"Say that again."

Shu Xian shyly looked at him in the eyes. With her blushing, she said it again, making Pan An smile as he caressed his thumb on her cheek.

"You don't have to apologize," Shu Xian said, Pan An, listening to her every word. "Because I liked it."

Without saying another word, Pan An gave her a soft peck on the lips, surprising Shu Xian with how brief it was and with how he kissed her comfortably.

"Do you want me to do it again?"

Shu Xian started coughing profusely. With this reaction making Pan An laugh out loud, Shu Xian narrowed her eyes at him, thinking that he's doing it on purpose.

"Don't you dare tease me this way when you don't mean it when you kiss me!"

"Hey…" Pan An stifled his laughter, grinning ear to ear. "Don't think that way—it's not true!"

With that, Pan An made her face him again. With him cupping her face with both of his hands, he brushed his thumb on her bottom lip, making her heart beat fast with what he said.

"I feel the same way… I like it when I kiss you."

As if Pan An is abusing this moment, he gave Shu Xian another kiss on the lips, this time longer as both of them closed their eyes and did it one more time.
