"I said, I like you!"Even if Yin already knew what Yang had to say and even heard it before, her heart still couldn"t help but beat a little faster as he said it again.
"You like me?" Her voice was still as cool and calm as always.
Yang was now feeling extremely shy as his eyes darted from side to side, not daring to look at her directly anymore. All his previous courage disappeared faster than they appeared. Redness covered his cheeks, which made them resemble tomatoes.
He nodded in confirmation and then waited anxiously for her reply. Yet he was left disappointed as she didn"t speak anything more for what felt like ages.
At last, he couldn"t take it anymore. If she was going to reject him, she should at least do so verbally and not leave any room for false hope.
"Do you like me?" He dared himself to look at her again.
What he saw was a completely collected posture with a face that revealed nothing. Just like many times before, he cursed over the woman"s crazy ability to keep her pokerface.
"Do you?" He asked again.
At that moment, the young man had few expectations since he still possessed some self instinct. She had never shown even the tiniest interest in him before and would most likely never do so in the future.
Hence his surprise could be imagined when Yin closed the last gap between them and grabbed his chin with a steady grip. She then pulled his head downwards to her level and stared at him with unreadable intent.
Because of this unexpected act, his heart almost jumped out of his chest considering how fast and hard it was pumping. If possible, his face was even redder now than before.
Yin kept her grip on him, but moved her own head so that her lips were above his shoulder. She slowly neared his ear and the hot air of her breath triggered some involuntary shivers in Yang.
He almost didn"t even dare to breath in fear that all was just a dream. Had the Universe finally answered his prayers and fulfilled his wishes?
"You like me, eh?"
Each word of hers sent pleasurable electrical waves through his body as the Fire G.o.d in bliss tried his hardest to register her question.
"Ye-yeah." He answered breathlessly and got lost in the pleasant sensations from her proximity.
