Luo Xuan’s gentleness and Luo Chen’s kiss

Qiao Wei and Luo Xuan talked all afternoon. Qiao Wei spoke about her family and her views on various matters. Remarkably, Luo Xuan always seemed to intuitively follow her line of thought, responding seamlessly to her next sentence. Only when the night fell did Qiao Wei suddenly realize how long she had been out. Luo Xuan rose at just the right moment, offering his hand to Qiao Wei with a gentlemanly gesture, and joked, "My dear little princess, I should escort you home now. Your prince is waiting for you."

Qiao Wei laughed, placing her hand in Luo Xuan's and standing up, replying playfully, "Sir Knight, he's not my prince at all, but I really do need you to take me home. It's already quite late."

Luo Xuan smiled and gently led Qiao Wei out of the woods.

Along the way, Qiao Wei felt more and more that Luo Xuan was like a witty elder brother to her, perhaps even a confidant. He wasn't as fierce as he had seemed at first meeting; compared to Luo Chen, he had more maturity, less of that seductive edge, more tenderness, and less volatility.

The two were walking and laughing together when Luo Chen suddenly appeared. He looked coldly at Luo Xuan, but when his gaze fell upon Qiao Wei, a hint of guilt and anxiety flickered in his dark red eyes. Suddenly, Luo Chen noticed the hands joined between Luo Xuan and Qiao Wei, and an inexplicable anger surged within him. His usually indifferent face showed a rare trace of irritation.

Seeing Luo Chen, Qiao Wei awkwardly let go of Luo Xuan's hand and said, "Luo Chen, I..."

Luo Chen didn't wait for her to finish, turning away abruptly. Anxiously, Qiao Wei glanced at his retreating figure, quickly waved goodbye to Luo Xuan, and hurried after him.

Luo Xuan watched Qiao Wei's direction with a hint of regret, sighing softly.

Qiao Wei followed quietly behind Luo Chen, feeling a strange sense of guilt. She couldn't understand why Luo Chen's look, when he saw her holding hands with Luo Xuan, made her heart ache inexplicably.

After a long silence, just as Qiao Wei was about to speak to break the tension, Luo Chen suddenly turned around, pressed his hands onto her shoulders, lowered his head, and pressed his rose-red lips firmly to hers, carrying a faint scent of mint. Qiao Wei was stunned by the unexpected kiss, staring blankly at Luo Chen until he parted from her lips and, with a possessive tone, declared, "From now on, you are not allowed to get too close to Luo Xuan. You two must not associate! Do you understand?"

Coming to her senses, Qiao Wei pushed Luo Chen away, her face flushed, and said angrily, "What does my choice of friends have to do with you? Go away, you pervert!" With that, she ran off in a hurry.

Luo Chen felt troubled. Since when had he begun to care so much about Qiao Wei? When she ran off angry, he had searched for her like a madman, only to find her chatting with Luo Xuan in the end... Luo Chen lowered his head and kicked a stone far into the distance, as if trying to send all these thoughts in his mind away with it.
