The light was mostly blocked by the boy's tall frame and wide robes, and her vision grew dim.
In the cramped space, their breaths met, forced to mingle.
The girl froze for a few seconds before looking away and huffing, "As if I'd let you eat me."
Jiang Qingli had an excellent memory. Gu Nian had just quoted a line from Sindel.
In the story, he used that exact tone to flirt with a female on the roadside. After being rejected, he simply ate her.
Seeing the awkward look on her face, Gu Nian's eyebrows drooped. He gently nuzzled her cheek, his voice soft and full of apology, as if he were trying to coax her.
"I'm sorry, okay? Don't be mad at me. I could never bear to eat you."
"I'm your pet. Only you get to eat me."
"Really, you can eat me however you want. I'm willing..."
The boy spoke words of chilling horror in an intimate yet excited tone. His warm breath fell against the shell of her ear, sending a shiver through her.
