Olivia, who had become so ripe that poking her would make her burst open like a ripe tomato, instinctively trembled while mumbling.
“I get it. I didn’t say ‘good’ with that intention. I know.”
Even though she said that, Kraye’s gaze didn’t seem like that of someone who truly understood.
Instead, it resembled a beast examining how to cook prey that had laid bare its belly.
And the moment Olivia, who had been receiving that gaze, took a gulp of breath.
Kraye pressed his lips firmly over the part where her lips were…
As the distinctive, heavy, and somewhat chilly scent emanated from him, Olivia’s vision momentarily blurred.
It wasn’t a direct lip-to-lip contact. He just lowered his lips onto the back of his hand.
However, why was her heart pounding as if it would tear through her chest at any moment?
Why was her mouth so dry and her fingertips tingling like this?
How much time had passed in what felt like an eternity in just a second?
The intense, rippling crimson irises that seemed to swallow up everything about Olivia slowly moved away, and his hand covering her mouth also dropped.
But Olivia remained frozen in place, unable to move.
Reason shouted to say something and escape this crazy situation, awkward and unbearable, but her frozen body couldn’t even twitch a finger.
Kraye slowly stood up, looking down at her.
As his face, backlit, was shadowed, Olivia could finally exhale.
What was that just now? Why now? No, really, why?
Various questions swirled in her mind, but she couldn’t ask why he had kissed her hand.
Why did you kiss me?…
No! In cases like this, anyone passing by, even a monkey passing by, would clearly see! Wasn’t it an obvious kiss?
“What are you thinking again? What on earth is in that small head of yours?”
Suddenly close again, Kraye’s light sigh tickled her forehead, and Olivia reflexively shouted.
“You! You’re just too close!”
Close, too close! While internally shouting, Olivia covered her face with both hands to avoid his piercing gaze.
“Me? Am I too close?”
At the interrupted words, Kraye asked, and Olivia quietly added, like the sound of ants crawling.
“It’s stimulating.”
Olivia’s words, tickling her chest rather than her ears, made Kraye sincerely close his eyes tightly, trying to suppress the boiling desire.
Thus, a silent standoff between them ensued.
Finally, Olivia, who was looking up at Kraye through her fingers, gave a small cough.
Awkward and embarrassing to the point of feeling like she might die, but she couldn’t die, and she couldn’t just sit here forever.
She decided to put off for now the complicated thoughts in her head.
It was a job she couldn’t do anything about right now, or rather, what could she do with him? He’s a colleague, just a colleague. He has clearly nailed it down as a colleague.
The recent incident was just… well. Just…
Unable to continue thinking about it, Olivia boldly decided to let it go.
Such matters wouldn’t yield answers even if she broke her head over them.
And there’s nothing more important than that right now.
Olivia, who had tightly closed her eyes, shook her head vigorously and slapped her cheeks, causing them to redden.
Seeing her hit herself a bit too hard, when Kraye reached out his hand towards her, Olivia opened her mouth.
“First, us.”
Glancing at his hand directed at her, Olivia smiled and continued speaking.
“Shall we move?”
With those words, Olivia, who was once again leaning against Kraye and moving, suddenly paused, looking around.
“By the way, where are we going now?”
She seemed to ask too quickly, but until just now, there wasn’t time to ask such a question.
“Since the moment we found the trap, it became certain that something is hidden in this park.”
“That’s right.”
“In that case, we are looking for somewhere in the park that has not been noticeable to people until now, or something like that.”
Nodding her head, Olivia added, “That’s right. Unnoticeable, or even if noticeable, something that people pass by without realizing.”
As she was about to close her mouth, Kraye stopped, turning his gaze in one direction.
“Like that?”
“Yeah, like that. A worn-out and completely broken piece… huh?”
As Olivia nodded to Kraye’s words, she patted his shoulder.
“There, let’s go over there.”
Since it was also in her line of sight, the two soon stood in front of a poorly maintained statue, where only the shape could be barely recognized due to the ravages of time.
“Let’s start by examining this……”
[Dash] Grrrk.Before Olivia could finish her sentence, Kraye tapped a part of the statue, and along with a vibrating sound from the ground a few steps away, a sound of something opening was heard.
Without uttering a word, both turned their heads in that direction, and in the next moment, Kraye pounded the ground in the direction where the sound came from.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
