Free Web NovelChapter 17: Chapter 17: Han Soi Almost Lost His Sanity
Yue Yue finally decided to bite the bullet and take action because she knew if Han Soi’s villain mode kept increasing she would die a horrible death.
She understood she might not survive the night if she did nothing. So she thought that a kiss was nothing compared to her dear life. She clenched her fists and prepared herself to do the most shameless thing she had ever done.
Yue Yue stayed in the same position for a moment. She swallowed hard. She took a shaky breath. And then she slowly started climbing from his thigh to his upper body.
Han Soi immediately stiffened.
He felt every tiny movement of hers. He looked down at her trembling figure, and his frozen mind suddenly sparked with a bit of clarity.
He realised he had almost lost his sanity for a moment. He forgot she was still here and was still watching his every move.
Han Soi instantly retracted his murderous aura.
He forced himself to calm down. He forced his breathing to stabilise and forced the dangerous red light in his eyes to dim even a little because he finally realised that his aura had almost scared her to death.
But then he froze again.
Yue Yue slowly continued climbing as if she had a mission. She gripped his uniform tightly and moved upward little by little. Now she was almost reaching his shoulder. She clung to his waist from the side like a tiny desperate creature climbing a giant tree.
Han Soi became a statue again.
Even his red pupils turned motionless. Even his breath stopped, his heartbeat missed a beat. He did not know what she was trying to do, he simply froze completely.
Yue Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief when the bombarding message in her head stopped. The numbers above his head finally stopped climbing.
It seemed the dangerous "villain mode +1, +2, +5" had paused. It seemed the system was waiting to see what she would do next.
It seemed the kiss was really an option.
Yue Yue immediately climbed more. She almost reached his neck. She held her breath as she tried to balance herself on his body. She stretched her neck forward and reached toward his face, trembling but determined.
She slowly moved her head forward.
Han Soi did not react. He did not push her away. He did not even blink. He remained silent and stiff, and Yue Yue thought he was still lost in his violent aura of villain.
She took a deep breath.
It seemed he was not stopping her and would not say anything. So she could do her job and run away. She thought she should just give a fast small peck and escape before he understood she kissed him. She convinced herself she was not committing a crime.
She closed her eyes and leaned forward with all her courage. And she kissed his right cheek.
Han Soi, who had been frozen completely, suddenly felt something soft and warm touch his skin. He did not understand what she was doing at first.
He only knew that her trembling breath touched him, that she leaned on him like she belonged there.
His hand trembled beside him awkwardly because he was afraid she might fall at any moment. He did not dare to move too much. He did not dare to touch her too much. But he noticed her climbing skill was strangely impressive. Her grip on his body was like iron.
Then everything exploded.
The moment her lips touched his skin, his pupils widened to the limit. Countless firecrackers exploded inside his mind. Flames erupted down his spine. The red in his eyes visibly started to lessen as if her small kiss used magic on him. His breath hitched as his fingers curled unconsciously.
His whole body shook.
Yue Yue held her breath. She did not know what he was thinking. She only stared blankly at the villain mode message that did not disappear.
She expected the system to immediately show "Mission Complete" to exit any second, but nothing happened. She blinked and became nervous. She looked at the glowing number above his head. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Why was it still there?
Did she kiss the wrong place?
Did she have to kiss another cheek?
Did she have to kiss his forehead?
Or... no way... did she have to kiss... his lips?
Before she could argue with the system, she felt a strong hand suddenly grip her waist.
She gasped loudly as the silent Han Soi suddenly decided to move.
He lifted her from his side and shifted her in front of him. She panicked and clenched her legs around him tightly to avoid falling. She had no control over her instincts, and she wrapped herself around him like a terrified snake.
Her face instantly turned red when she realised just how close she was to him.
Her body clung to him too tightly. Her heart beat too fast. She did not know where to put her hands. She caught his clothes like a child catching a rope. Her head lowered from embarrassment.
Han Soi looked at her with dark eyes.
His hand slowly slid down her waist. His fingers tightened. His palm moved lower without him realising. And he lifted her higher with one smooth motion. She felt his hand fully support her from underneath.
What is he doing... she screamed in her mind.
Her heart pounded inside her chest so loudly she thought he could hear it. She realised her shameful position and how she was clinging to his waist. Even his hand was on her butt. She finally realised she looked like she was begging for something.
The hot and intense gaze in his eyes made everything worse.
Yue Yue opened her mouth to say something. She wanted to say she had no intention to take advantage of him and wanted to defend herself from any strange misunderstanding.
But she could not speak.
Han Soi tilted his head and looked at her deeply.
He raised his other hand slowly as if he was touching something fragile. His breath brushed her cheek. His red eyes stared into her wide ones. He saw the fear, confusion, and the innocence. And her trembling in his arms.
Something snapped inside him. Before he could think, he leaned down, his hot breath brushing across her flushed cheeks.
Their lips hovered just an inch apart. Han Soi’s eyes darkened the moment he noticed she didn’t pull away, her tiny hands only clutched his shirt tighter, every nerve trembling through her body, as if she were waiting... expecting.
A faint smile tugged at his lips. His hands tightened around her instinctively, and when a soft "huh..." escaped her, his heartbeat lurched violently.
For Han Soi, the world vanished in an instant. There was only her...her warmth, her breath, her trembling presence in his arms. He brushed his lips against hers softly, barely a touch. Her eyes flew open, round and startled.
He did it again, slower this time, a teasing, lingering graze and when she let out a small whimper, he nearly lost his sanity.
Then, without giving himself another heartbeat to reconsider, he lowered his head fully...
And captured her lips with his own.
