With a sigh, she rose from the bed, massaging her sore lower back as she shuffled unsteadily toward the door.
The space between them shrank until their faces were mere inches apart, close enough to feel each other's breaths.
Furina caught a faint trace of Luo Qing’s scent. Her heart skipped a beat, and her breathing grew quicker.
It was the first time she had been this close to him. A blush...
