Well, the punishment is over.

After getting on the car, Chen Shuo rolled down the car window again and said to his mom Xu Mei, "Mom, be safe."

Actually, he wanted to say, take good care of yourself.

But he didn't say it out, afraid that his mom would worry. After all, Xu Mei was very astute! If she noticed anything unusual, she would definitely worry even more!

Xu Mei was stunned for a moment: "You little rascal, shouldn't I be the one saying that to you?"

"Be safe, drive carefully."

Chen Shuo waved to his mom, started the car, and drove back to school facing the sunset.

In fact, it wasn't far from his hometown to school, but Chen Shuo was still worried about his mom.

As if seeing through Chen Shuo's concerns, Su Xiyan's slender and fair fingers gently pinched his cheek: "Don't worry!"

Chen Shuo: "Hmm? What did you arrange?"

Su Xiyan: "I've already contacted the demon hunters in Su City and asked them to pay close attention to the vampire activities around auntie. "

"And in the city where your mom works, I've also contacted fellow demon hunters there."

"Don't worry! With so many demon hunters keeping an eye out, auntie will definitely be safe!"

Su Xiyan had always been reliable in getting things done, and Chen Shuo felt much less anxious after hearing her arrangements.

On the way back, neither of them spoke again.

The sunset dyed half of the sky red. By the time the sun retracted its last ray of light, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan were back at Haiyi Apartment.

It didn't seem long since they last moved out of Haiyi Apartment, but why did it feel so nostalgic to move back in?

Perhaps it was because too much had happened recently!

At the foyer, Chen Shuo's slippers were still in their usual spot, kept where he would change into them habitually when entering the apartment.

Upon entering the house, Chen Shuo was at a loss for words at the messy sight that greeted them.

"..."

"Su Xiyan, do you never tidy up the house occasionally?"

Su Xiyan: "I wasn't used to it without you here to clean up habitually."

To put it bluntly, she just couldn't adapt to life without Chen Shuo at home.

Chen Shuo naturally understood the implied meaning in her words.

"Never mind, go see what you want to eat and let me know. I'll tidy up the house first."

Chen Shuo was finally back!

Sitting on the sofa, Su Xiyan watched as Chen Shuo busied about cleaning the house. Her usually cold as glacier face seemed to melt in the spring breeze.

Narrowing her pretty eyes slightly, Su Xiyan's gaze followed Chen Shuo's busy figure as he moved about, and a faint sweet laughter escaped from deep in her throat.

Chen Shuo was cleaning out the expired food in the fridge: "What are you laughing at?"

The corners of Su Xiyan's eyes brimmed with unrestrained sweetness. Hugging a pillow like an oversized plushie, she looked exquisitely beautiful to the point of seeming unreal.

After entering the house, Su Xiyan had taken off her coat, revealing the black knit sweater underneath that clung tightly to her shapely figure. The wide open neckline exposed her elegant collarbone and swan-like neck that shone under the light.

The female celebrities who always issue notices saying "as white as glowing" were describing Su Xiyan's current state!

"Stop sitting there giggling. Help me grab this stuff!" With one hand holding the fridge door and the other holding an expired carton of pure cow's milk, Chen Shuo asked Su Xiyan to help take it from him.

Lazily leaning against the sofa, Su Xiyan's eyes held a hint of provocation: "I won't."

Chen Shuo: "You really won't help?"

Su Xiyan persisted: "Nope!"

Chen Shuo put down the milk: "Then don't blame me!"

Without giving Su Xiyan any time to react, Chen Shuo was already standing right in front of her. Placing both hands on the sofa backrest, his arms formed a small enclosure that trapped her in this narrow space.

Caught off guard by Chen Shuo's actions, Su Xiyan was somewhat frightened. After quickly regaining her composure, her long lashes fluttered: "What are you trying to do?"

Chen Shuo leaned in closer towards Su Xiyan, his warm breath spraying fully onto her tender cheeks.

Feeling Chen Shuo's breath on her, Su Xiyan felt like her heart was about to leap out.

Chen Shuo's Adam's apple moved up and down. Right now, Su Xiyan's breathtakingly beauty was right before his eyes, just a hair's breadth away.

He could clearly see every tiny detail on Su Xiyan's face. Her fragrant scent was completely enveloped in his embrace.

Chen Shuo closed the slight gap between them and simply removed the pillow separating them, tossing it aside.

With the pillow snatched away, Su Xiyan didn't know where to put her hands.

Chen Shuo grabbed her hands and put them around his own waist. "Su Xiyan, what's our relationship?"

Su Xiyan's mind went blank as she answered: "Lovers?"

There was a vampire raspiness in Chen Shuo's voice: "Since we're boyfriend and girlfriend, is it unreasonable of me to ask for a kiss?"

Su Xiyan: "..."

Oh my...

Was Chen Shuo seriously asking so directly?

Which guy asks the girl like that?

How was she supposed to respond??

Instantly, Su Xiyan felt her face grow hot all the way down to her neck.

The usually cold and aloof Su Xiyan, the untouchable glacier goddess, actually had such an awkwardly shy side to her!

Unable to restrain the smile in his eyes, Chen Shuo tilted his chin slightly as he leaned towards Su Xiyan.

Was this their first kiss coming?

It felt like a dream to Su Xiyan, happening so swiftly without giving her any time to react at all. Like a sudden summer storm.

She shrank back slightly, a small gesture that didn't go unnoticed by Chen Shuo.

Without her realizing, Chen Shuo had already reached his arm around and grasped the back of her head, pulling her firmly into his embrace and leaving her no room to evade any further.

Finally, his lips met with that enticing softness that had always made him obsessed.

Su Xiyan's body jolted violently, as if electricity was coursing through her.

As if restraining himself from something, Chen Shuo didn't deepen the kiss.

Just a light peck, fleeting like a dragonfly touching the water, yet it tensed up Su Xiyan's entire body.

Releasing Su Xiyan, Chen Shuo's eyes were brimming with tenderness.

"There, punishment over!" he said as he stood up and went back to cleaning the fridge, departing without the slightest hesitation???

It took Su Xiyan a moment to process everything as she felt her lips go numb.

When she looked at Chen Shuo again, he had already resumed his previous state, tidying up the house meticulously.

That fleeting kiss felt too surreal! As if it had only happened in a dream.

Though the lingering sensation on her lips still felt so real, it seemed as if it had never occurred at all.

So this was what a first kiss felt like? It was actually quite wonderful?

Su Xiyan still had rather strong mental resilience. Sitting upright, her back straightened rigidly like a rod.

They were already boyfriend and girlfriend, a little kiss was normal and nothing to make a big fuss over!
