Luna ignored the turmoil of emotions and went to the kitchen to start making a cup of tea. Thinking of a way to buy time until Cheng Yu returned, she decided to bake pancakes as well. 

Alas, she was still in the middle of preparing the batter when her phone chimed with a notification. 

She peeked over and saw a new text message. 

[Xiao Yu: Luna, I went to visit my brother at home and will stay over tonight. See you tomorrow!] 

Luna cursed. Cheng Yu just had to spend the night away at such a time. She grudgingly sent an "Ok, take care" then huffed as she looked at the batter. 

Finding it meaningless, she decided to keep it in the fridge and just make a cup of tea. 

A few minutes later, she emerged from the kitchen with a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. "Have your tea and leave." 

"Why are you sending me away so fast? Do you hate me so much?" Jiang Xingyu complained, sounding aggrieved. 

Luna flopped on the couch opposite him. "It's inappropriate for a man to spend too much time in a single woman's house." 

Jiang Xingyu raised an eyebrow. So that was why… "But what is so inappropriate about it? It would be so if we were unrelated strangers, but I'm in love with you so what is so bad about it?" 

"I'm not in love with you." Luna gritted her teeth. 

"Mmh." Jiang Xingyu took a sip of his tea. "But you like me at the very least." 

Luna wanted to refute but she couldn't find the right words and could only bite her lip. If she claimed not to like him in the slightest, how could she explain the kiss she willingly planted on his lips earlier? 

"Enough nonsense. Just take your tea, okay?" 

Jiang Xingyu smiled and took another tiny sip. Selfish to spend more time with her, he took the tea one tiny sip at a time, savoring the taste like it was tea made by the gods. 

Soon, one hour had elapsed. Luna couldn't take it anymore. "Why are you taking your sweet time?" 

Jiang Xingyu took another tiny sip. "You invited me for a cup of tea, but you don't want to let me take it? Where is your sincerity?" 

Luna almost coughed up blood from fury. This man was doing it on purpose! Deciding not to bicker with him anymore, she took her laptop and started playing a game while ignoring him. 

By the time Jiang Xingyu was done, it was already 11pm and the tea was cold and no longer as tasty. 

Luna had managed to create a new virus and was giving him a weird look.

At that time, his phone rang. 

He picked it up with a brilliant smile. "Hello, mother?" 

"You punk. You said you would come home for dinner but didn't come in the end. Were you messing with me?" The woman sounded enraged.

Jiang Xingyu scratched his head, remembering that he did promise to go home for dinner. "I forgot about it… I had dinner at Lanni's place with Luna so it slipped my mind." 

"You had dinner with Luna? That's great, that's great! How is my little darling?" Madam Jiang excitedly forgot that she was lecturing her son and went on to ask about her darling future daughter-in-law. 

Jiang Xingyu snuck a glance at the girl opposite him before promptly saying, "She is right here with me. Do you want to say hello?" 

"Eh? You are with Luna right now… at this hour?" Madam Jiang was astonished. "Are you two alone?" 

Jiang Xingyu's ears heated up slightly, catching his mother's meaningful tone. "Yes, I am at her apartment…" 

Before he could finish his statement, his mother coughed awkwardly. "Why didn't you say so? You made me disturb your sacred moment! Hurry and get back to business." She then hung up, leaving Jiang Xingyu speechless. 

When the call ended, he caught a glimpse of the time and was surprised. it was so late… no wonder Luna was glaring daggers at him. 

Deciding to let her be on her own now, he stood up. "Thanks for the tea, I think I should get going now." 

Luna looked relieved. "You finally realized…" she had been sitting on pins and needles for these three agonizing hours! 

Jiang Xingyu was helpless. "Can you at least be a little less obvious when kicking me out? Where is your hospitality?" 

luna ignored his complaint and stood to see him off before he could change his mind and forcefully stay the night. 

"I'll only see you to the door. You know your way to the parking." She dismissed as soon as they reached the door. 

"I'll see myself off." Jiang Xingyu recalled something and stopped in his tracks. 

Because she was not expecting him to suddenly stop, she bumped right into his back. 

"Can't you warn me before you stop?" Luna rubbed her nose that had only sustained a slight numbing pain from the sudden impact. 

"Can't you watch your step?" Jiang Xingyu shamelessly threw the blame at her. 

He even turned to look at her like she was an alien. "Is your nose made of concrete? My spine was almost broken." 

"What?!" Luna cringed. 

The man started stretching his back, acting like he was in agonizing pain. "My back hurts so much… I can't even move an inch!" He wailed exaggeratively. 

Luna rolled her eyes. "Drop the horrible act. Would you be standing there and wailing so much if you were really in pain?" 

Hearing that, he dashed to the nearest sofa and flopped down. "You don't believe me? It hurts so badly… come and take a look." 

Seeing how pitiful he looked, Luna took a deep breath and went to take a look. Even though she knew that he was merely putting on an act, she could not bear to think of the 0.01% possibility that he could really be in pain.

He knelt beside the couch and spun him so he was lying on his stomach. "Where does it hurt?" 

Jiang Xingyu was overjoyed after successfully having his way. He stretched his hand to touch a random spot where her nose should have bumped into. "Here. Ah… it hurts…" 

Luna was speechless. Why don't you become an actor? 

She violently tugged on his shirt so it was untucked from his pants and pulled it up to his neck. 

Jiang Xingyu was caught off guard and his heart raced. What was Luna doing? 

The girl inspected his back even though she knew there was nothing to look for. Instead, she was entranced by his body. His shoulders were broad and muscular, leading down to a perfectly sculpted back. Such an impressive backview… she subconsciously wondered what his chest and abs looked like.

She was about to call him out for intentionally lying to get his attention but her throat was too parched to get any word out. Instead, her fingers gently trailed along his back as she admired it. 

Jiang Xingyu continued lying on the couch obediently. Even though he didn't know what she meant by touching his back in such a way, he enjoyed what she was doing so he did not intend to stop her. 

The more she touched it, the more she wanted to touch. The allure won over her and before she realized what she was doing, she stretched her hand across his back tried to snake it to his chest. However, it was impossible with her position so she sat on the couch next to his legs and hugged him from the back. 

The man grunted as she caressed his upper body without an ounce of restraint. 

Luna cursed herself for how unrestrained she was acting but even then, her hands did not stop moving. She touched his n.i.p.p.l.e between her thumb and forefinger, driving the man almost to the limit of his self control. He grabbed her hand and sat up then faced her as though using his eyes to question her intentions. 

Luna didn't know what answer to give to that, her own breathing disoriented.

Seeing her flushed cheeks, all the remaining restraint in Jiang Xingyu broke free and he grabbed her pressing a kiss onto her lips. 

Luna did not push him away, on the contrary hugging his back as she let him deepen the kiss. 

He held the back of her head as he gently pushed his tongue past her lips and into her mouth. She involuntarily let out a small m.o.a.n as his hand left her head and circled her lower back. 

Still holding the kiss, he lowered her onto the couch and pressed his body onto hers, grinding as he kissed her deeply. 

The living room was filled with the sound of their kisses and panting. 

The man traced down her body and found the hem of her blouse. Just before he pulled it up, she grabbed his hand and pressed down on it. 

He broke the loss and looked at her in askance to which she replied, "we can't do that yet." 

Jiang Xingyu let out a small smile and let go of her blouse. "Then let's just kiss." What followed was a round of more intense kisses.
