Bai He, who was lighting the way behind them with a lantern, hurriedly turned away at the sight.
Lin Qingyuan slammed her fist on Long Xuan but ended up being overpowered by him.
Only when she was panting heavily did Long Xuan release his hold on her.
Pressing his forehead to hers, he lifted a hand and stroked her silky hair. "This is your punishment."
Lin Qingyuan was trying hard to catch her breath, and she glowered at him when she heard this. "For what?"
Long Xuan pointed at his red lips. "Who did this to me?"
Lin Qingyuan blushed at the sight of his moist lips, but when she remembered how she had deliberately served him spicy food at dinner, she felt a little guilty.
"How was I supposed to know you couldn't handle spicy food?"
"Did you really not know, or did you do it on purpose?" Long Xuan lowered his head and regarded her scrutinizingly.
"I didn't know." Lin Qingyuan refused to admit the truth.
