Chapter 674: I Want to Kiss You

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In her eyes, all she could see was this man, and the same was true in her mind. He had knelt on one knee to wash her feet, saying it was a small matter. Yet, he had no idea of the ripples it stirred within her…

Suddenly, two loud bangs echoed from outside, pulling Gu Zi back to reality. She was so startled that she nearly fell back into her chair after standing up.

Fortunately, the man was quick to react, catching her and leading her towards the balcony of the bedroom. The noise from outside continued as they stepped onto the balcony, looking up at the shimmering sky above.

Two or three massive fireworks exploded in the sky, predominantly red, supplemented with gold and other colors. The red was clear and bright, radiating joy and warmth. The gold was dazzling, like a bounty of harvested grain tossed into the sky, a tribute to nature’s nurturing and gifts. The light from the fireworks spread out, illuminating the night sky and their smiling faces.

Gu Zi instinctively reached out, wanting to catch the dazzling display, even though she knew that after the brilliance, all colors would eventually fade into the night sky. She was somewhat dazed, reaching out towards the fireworks.

“The fireworks of this era are so colorful, so beautiful,” she mused. “Year after year, what we perceive as a long time may just be a very short period, as fleeting as the appearance of fireworks. Compared to many years later, there’s not much difference.”

Su Shen had been captivated by the light reflecting on her beautiful face. Her words, however, left him puzzled. “Many years later? How do you know the fireworks will still be the same?” he asked.

Gu Zi snapped back to reality, realizing she had said something she shouldn’t have. She quickly explained, “I read in a book that fireworks have been around for many years. According to the descriptions in the book, the fireworks from back then are quite similar to what we see now. Perhaps from our time onwards, for many years to come, the fireworks will remain as dazzling and beautiful.”

As she spoke, she observed the man, relieved to see the confusion in his eyes dissipate. She had been too emotional earlier, almost letting slip her thoughts about the fleeting nature of time. Thankfully, it seemed Su Shen wouldn’t dwell on it.

“Do you like watching fireworks?” Su Shen asked with interest.

The New Year had already passed, and he hadn’t expected people in the city to still be setting off fireworks. It seemed the city was livelier. Seeing that Gu Zi also enjoyed fireworks and the convenience of city life, he felt moving to the city had been the right decision.

Gu Zi glanced at the night sky, just as two more fireworks burst, almost filling the sky in front of her. She withdrew her gaze and said with a knowing tone, “I enjoy watching them, but I don’t need to set them off myself. They’re too loud and startling. Don’t overthink it.”

Su Shen found her hurried explanation endearing. Suddenly, in a deep voice, he said, “Ah Zi, I’m not thinking about anything else right now. I just think that the light from the fireworks, reflecting on your face, makes you look exceptionally beautiful. I want to kiss you.”

His voice was filled with a unique tenderness and a fervent desire for her. The warmth struck her heart, and she wanted to throw herself into his arms. There was no need for verbal responses; she wanted to show him through her actions that she wanted to kiss him too.

And so she did, throwing herself into his arms, pulling at his collar, inviting him to lean in and kiss her. Gu Zi quickly found herself melting under his kiss, her trust in the man before her deepening. She wholeheartedly accepted his kiss and embrace, her eyes half-closed in the illuminating light, looking alluring.

Su Shen felt her lips were like flowers soaked in nectar, full and inviting. The air was filled with her sweet scent. An adult’s kiss was a deep entanglement after a mutual understanding of hearts, and he wanted to delve deeper with her.

The night grew darker, and the fireworks outside had ended. Gu Zi didn’t know when she had been carried back inside.

Su Shen had kindly left her in a thin undergarment that barely covered her breasts and underwear. She liked wearing thin clothes, but the downside was that once the outer clothes were removed, her breasts were quite prominent, and even the shape of her lower body was quite apparent.

This meant that her body was now fully exposed to the man’s gaze. Thinking about this, she subconsciously tightened her thighs, her face flushing with embarrassment. Her beautiful face showed a hint of shyness, making her look like an innocent girl.

Looking at her, Su Shen felt a warm current flowing in his heart. He couldn’t help but comfort her, “Good girl, I’ve seen it all. Relax.”
