"Xi, let me see. It's been four years. Has your flower undergone any changes?" Guan Lei whispered softly.
He slowly pulled away Shen Xi's hand, and as his gaze fell upon the concealed flower's core, his throat tightened instantly. He reached out and delicately touched that tender place, gently running his fingertips over the crevice. Shen Xi could not help but tremble.
Guan Lei's gaze made Shen Xi feel ashamed. She turned her head, blushing, and timidly whispered, "Don't... don't look."
"Why would you hide such a beautiful place from me, Xi?" Guan Lei said, then leaned down and gave Shen Xi a light peck on her lips.
In the next moment, Guan Lei's hand gently opened the petals, revealing the alluring bud before him. He held his breath, suppressing the sudden heat that surged through his body, and rubbed the gracefully standing flower's stalk until his fingers were coated with sticky nectar.
