Chapter 10
At the moment she was kissed, a trace of panic and faint expectation flashed across De Xue's wide opened eyes. She did not reject him and felt him taking small bites her on the lips. That strange feeling of numbness made her whole body soften and melt in his arms.
There seems to be a heat flowing around her lips. Her thoughts were in a blur.
This is not the first time He Mu Li kissed her and of course, this is not the second time either. Recently, he has been kissing her very often. In the beginning, the kisses were probing kisses and then the kisses turned into deep kisses. Every time when he kissed her, she would feel very confused. She really likes it and desired for his gentleness, however, the more she desires, the more she feels afraid but she is not clear what she is afraid of.
"You are not concentrating."
Her lips were gently bitten in warning and De Xue quickly gathered her thoughts.
Flames of fire burned in He Mu Li's pair of eyes made his masculine face more handsome. She could not help but reach out her hands to wrap around his neck and prodded her tongue deeper into his mouth.
She returned his kiss seriously as if she wanted to use this real kiss to determine the confusion in her heart.
The corner of He Mu Li's mouth curved and he aggressively seduced his kitten. His hot tongue teased her sweet small tongue leading her into a dance with him, at the same time thinking his little beauty is actually very sweet. His big hands tightened around her soft waist and he was greedy for more of her. The two people embraced each other tightly.
It was not known how long they hugged each other. When he finally released her lips, she could only pant breathlessly and lay weakly in his arms, unable to speak.
De Xue's clothes were a little messy, striking up a seductive pose but her eyes were tearful, s.h.i.+mmering like crystals.
"Xiao Xue, what is wrong with you?" Sensing that something was not right, He Mu Li cupped her little face with his hands and asked with worry.
But she only stared fixedly at him and her eyes mirrored her deep confusion and sorrow which she herself was unable to detect.
"Where do you feel unwell? What had happened? You have to tell me." He Mu Li's voice was filled with anxiety.
"Li Dage......why did you kiss me?" She was being kissed, being kissed.......then suddenly she felt a pain in her heart and also had the urge to cry. She did not know why she was acting this way. She only knew it was related to his kiss and related to the fear in her heart which she had never understood.
He did not expect her to ask him in such a straightforward manner. What else would the answer be? Of course, because he likes her!
"Xiao Xue, don't you like me kissing you?" He did not know what she meant by her question. Could it be, she is trying to express her refusal?
"I......I don't know." De Xue said with hesitation showing a confused look of desperation. Does she like it or not? She likes him to kiss her but why did her heart feel a pain? She also wants to know.
Don't know?! His kitten does not know if she likes him to kiss her? This is a big problem!
He had always thought that she likes him and that is why she allowed him to kiss her. Although she had never expressed her liking for him, he thought that the recent development of their relations.h.i.+p had proven everything.
Could it
"Then let me ask you in another way. Xiao Xue, when I kissed you, what kind of feelings do you have in your heart?" He decided to slowly lead her.
"Feelings?" Her naïve green eyes stared at him.
"Yes. How do you feel, comfortable or annoying? You must at least feel something, right?" In fact, he was afraid to hear 'annoying' or 'no feeling" as the answer.
"Well, it feels comfortable......" She replied in a soft voice and inexplicably did not dare to look at him. If she did not feel comfortable, how could she let him kiss her so many times? She does not like self-abuse.
When he heard her words, He Mu Li finally let out a sigh of relief. His kitten is being torturous today.
"Since you feel comfortable, then why do you say you don't know whether you like it or not? Isn't feeling comfortable means you like it?" He lightened his voice tone and continued to ask.
"Yes, it feels comfortable but it will hurt here as well." De Xue said with grief while clutching her chest where her heart is. Every time after she was kissed, her heart would feel heavy and painful.
He Mu Li was stunned. Suddenly a strange thought popped up in his mind. She should not be......
"Xiao Xue, what do you think of the way I treat you?" He asked her as he pulled her into his arms and asked softly.
"The way you treat me?" She repeated in confusion.
"Right. That is whether I treat you nicely or something like that." He said with a faint smile.
She bowed her head and thought about it. After a while, she looked up at him and said. "Li Dage is very good to me." When she thought about the time they spent with each other recently, she felt he was really good to her.
"Ai......then do you know why I am good to you?" Hearing her answer full of trust in him, He Mu Li's heart softened and could not help but sigh. He just discovered unexpectedly, maybe his kitten totally did not sense something very important.
She looked straight at him. De Xue felt her heart was jumping wildly again and in her head, there seemed to be something about to jump out but she still shook her head innocently.
He Mu Li smiled bitterly and raised a hand to stroke his forehead. Then he said very tenderly to her. "It is because I like you.......Xiao Xue, I like you."
Obviously, his kitten totally did not sense his liking for her and also he seriously suspected that she could not even figure out her own feelings.
De Xue was shocked and she froze in her place with an incredulous expression on her face.
"You......you just said you like me?" After a long silence, she finally asked. When she heard that he liked her instantly, her mind blanked out. Many complicated emotions rushed up and at the same time suddenly, rendered her unable to respond.
"Of course, can't you feel it? Xiao Xue, don't you really know how I feel about you?" He pulled her little hand and placed it over his heart. Then he pressed her hand tightly on his chest to let her feel his heavy and powerful heartbeats. He hoped it would convey to her that his words were true and they came from his heart.
He Mu Li had a helpless thought. Usually, his kitten is very clever but why is she emotionally so slow?
Her small hand was pulled and pressed against his hot chest and felt his big palm firmly covering the back of her hand. A warm silky feeling seemed to slowly flow into her heart from her hand. De Xue suddenly felt that the feeling of heaviness and pain in her heart had vanished and in its place was another feeling......very comfortable and very happy.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." She pressed her other hand over her heart and said to him with uncertainty.
"Ha, ha, ha.......Xiao Xue, ah.....!" When he saw her expression and action, He Mu Li felt a little frustrated and thought she was really funny.
Then suddenly he became serious.
"Do you know why it hurts here?"
De Xue shook her head solemnly.
"That is because you like me too." He held her little hand and pressed it against her own heart to let her feel her own heart pounding fiercely.
"I......I like you too?" She blinked her green eyes.
When she said this, there was a strong emotion that suddenly surged up to her heart......soft......sweet......and stuffy......accompanied by a very comfortable feeling.
"Then why did it hurt before?" She asked, unable to understand.
"It is because you did not realize your own feelings. Xiao Xue, your heart was calling out to you to tell me that you like me." He said with a sly smile on his face.
De Xue blushed and raised her small hand to punch his chest.
Bad guy! Thick-skinned! Who said she likes him!
So, liking someone is like this? She seems to understand. This wonderful feeling in her heart is......liking someone?
De Xue's mind quickly recalled the times they had spent together and her various moods. As long as she was with him, she would feel happy. When she could not see him, she would feel lonely. When she was alone, she would think of him. When she was with him, time always flies. So it is all because she likes him.......
Therefore, she only thinks of staying with him for a long time and thinks of staying beside him all the time. Just looking at him, she would feel very happy. When he kissed her gently, there would be sweetness in her heart and she desired for his gentleness.
Then, after she was kissed by him, she felt a pain in her heart, could it be......she also hoped that he will like her but she had always been unable to determine his feelings. Deep in her heart, she felt very worried......was that the reason she felt a pain in her heart? De Xue suddenly felt she was now able to understand.
She recalled that when he told her that he liked her, she could hear her own vigorous heartbeat. Her heart seemed to suddenly overflow with a very sweet feeling that makes her jump with joy.
Li Dage also likes her!
Seeing her crystal eyes s.h.i.+ning brightly, her face blus.h.i.+ng and her appearance pet.i.te and pretty, He Mu Li sighed. He reached out to pull her tightly to him and stroked the back of her head gently with one hand, just like stroking a kitten.
"Xiao Xue, I really like you. Follow me, marry me and be my woman, alright?" He lowered his head, placed his lips near her ear and asked seriously.
