Huangfu Huazhang nodded with a smile, "Yes, it has been many years. He has always followed me, like a shadow." He turned his head to glance at her, "But in those previous years, you weren't around, so he could do that. Now that you're here, it's inconvenient for him to be with me like a shadow all the time."
The man, dressed in a camel wool coat, was highlighted by a bright red scarf around his neck, making his eyes appear lighter, no longer the calm blue but a shimmering purple under the lights.
He bent down towards her, his lips almost touching her earlobe.
"...From now on, I want to be your shadow."
Although his lips didn't actually touch her earlobe, it was too sensitive an area, so his breath brushed against it, making her whole body involuntarily tingle and itch. She couldn't help but shiver slightly and quickly stepped back.
The chemistry between a man and a woman is truly a wonderfully mysterious thing.
