Chapter 107 My First Kiss Was Lost Here
Bai Rongbei's hand stopped at his collar, only half of the buttons were fastened.
He looked into Su Wanwan's bright eyes, which were filled with straightforward expectation and curiosity, making his ears burn.
He opened his mouth, the word "can" rolled around in his throat a few times, but in the end he didn't say it.
That's too direct.
he thought.
Moreover, Bai Rongbei wasn't even sure if he could actually do it.
An occasional reaction doesn't mean it will always happen.
After all, time is of the essence in that matter.
He doesn't want to be a three-second man.
Seeing that he was pursing his lips and not saying anything, but just lowering his head to straighten his clothes, Su Wanwan's excitement slowly cooled down.
Her mind raced, and she suddenly remembered some books she had read and gossip she had heard before.
Some men are impotent, not because of their bodies, but because... they simply don't like women.
The moment this thought crossed her mind, her gaze towards Bai Rongbei became more complicated.
That makes sense. He's so rugged and has such a great physique. If he really liked women, how could he be so restrained with himself?
She was like that just now, and he was still able to hold back...
The more Su Wanwan thought about it, the more she realized it made sense. Before she transmigrated into the book, she was an open-minded person who believed that feelings couldn't be forced.
If Bai Rongbei really likes men, she wouldn't mind accepting it. Anyway, the two of them don't have a real relationship now. They're divorced and can live their own lives, which is fine.
She cleared her throat, her voice still a little hoarse, but her tone had calmed down: "Bai Rongbei, um... let me ask you something."
Bai Rongbei finished buttoning the last button and looked up: "Hmm?"
"You don't...?" Su Wanwan carefully chose her words, trying to sound as open-minded as possible, "...actually like men?"
Bai Rongbei was stunned.
Seeing that he didn't react, Su Wanwan assumed he had tacitly agreed, and the slight regret in her heart was quickly replaced by a sense of relief that said, "Just as I expected."
She leaned forward, lowered her voice, and gave me a "I understand" look: "It's okay, you don't need to be embarrassed. Although the social atmosphere is conservative now, we can talk about it privately. If you really like men, I... I can divorce you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, I'll just say we're incompatible. You can be with the person you like in the future, without having to force yourself to marry a woman..."
As she spoke, she became more and more fluent, and she had already planned out her life after the divorce: she would stay in the art troupe, Bai Rongbei would go to find his true love, and the two could still be friends—how wonderful!
Bai Rongbei watched her chatter on and on, from "understanding" to "divorce," and from "keeping secrets" to "we can still be friends in the future." Every sentence was so outrageous that he didn't know where to begin refuting her.
His brows furrowed deeper and deeper until he finally couldn't listen anymore.
"Su Wanwan," he interrupted her.
"Huh?" Su Wanwan stopped and blinked at him.
Bai Rongbei didn't say anything, but reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Su Wanwan gasped softly, but before she could react, her lips were sealed with a kiss.
The man's scent pressed down on you, warm and dry, with the chill unique to a morning in the Gobi Desert.
His lips were a little dry, but soft, and he pressed them against hers with just the right amount of pressure.
Su Wanwan froze completely.
Her eyes were wide open, and her mind went completely blank.
Is this... a kiss?
Bai Rongbei was initially a little stiff as well.
He had never kissed anyone before; his movements were awkward, he just touched her without moving.
But the person in my arms was so soft, with warm lips and slightly chapped lines.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he tentatively opened his mouth to take her lower lip into his mouth.
Su Wanwan trembled all over.
Bai Rongbei sensed it, tightened his arms, and held her even more tightly.
He instinctively licked the crevice of her lips, then gently pried open her teeth.
Su Wanwan opened her mouth subconsciously.
His tongue probed inside.
A strange yet warm scent enveloped her.
Su Wanwan's mind was buzzing, and she didn't know where to put her hands. Finally, she grabbed the fabric of his shirt and then gripped his muscles tightly.
Bai Rongbei was initially awkward, but he quickly got the hang of it.
His kiss was slow and gentle, yet deep.
Su Wanwan felt weak all over from his kisses, her legs gave way, and she leaned against him.
Her breathing became erratic, and her heart pounded as if it would burst out of her chest. She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
So this is what kissing is like...
Bai Rongbei held her waist with one arm and supported the back of her head with the other, kissing her deeper and deeper.
He seemed to want to take back all those outrageous things he had just said, or perhaps he simply wanted to kiss her.
The wind from the Gobi Desert blew, lifting their hair and causing it to become tangled together.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Wanwan felt as if all the air in her lungs had been sucked out, and a few soft sobs escaped her throat.
Bai Rongbei then released her.
Their lips parted.
Su Wanwan's face turned bright red, and her lips were moist and a little swollen.
She was panting, her eyes wet as she looked at him, still in a daze.
Bai Rongbei was also panting, his chest heaving.
He looked at Su Wanwan's innocent and tender appearance, and his eyes deepened.
"You still think I like men?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
Su Wanwan shook her head blankly.
Bai Rongbei's lips curved slightly, a faint smile, but he did smile.
At that moment, the sun was rising above the horizon.
Golden-red light spilled across the boundless Gobi Desert, tinging the sand dunes with warm hues, and the sky gradually changed from deep blue to orange-yellow.
The morning light fell on the two of them, outlining their furry silhouettes.
Looking at Bai Rongbei's profile, which was gilded by the sunlight, Su Wanwan suddenly felt that her first kiss, which was given away in the first ray of sunlight on the Gobi Desert, wasn't so bad after all.
Moreover, this scene was quite romantic.
"Gurgle."
Her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
Su Wanwan blushed even more and quickly covered her stomach.
Bai Rongbei looked down at her: "Are you hungry?"
"Hmm..." Su Wanwan responded softly, "I didn't eat much last night."
Bai Rongbei took out an oil paper package from his satchel, opened it, and inside were two multigrain cakes, which were already cold, but still looked quite soft.
"Have something to eat first." He handed her one.
Su Wanwan took it and nibbled on it in small bites.
The biscuits were a bit dry, but she was starving and ate them with relish.
Bai Rongbei ate one himself, watching her as he ate.
Su Wanwan felt embarrassed by his gaze and turned her face away. Suddenly remembering something, she turned back, her eyes bright as she looked at him: "So... are you better now?"
Bai Rongbei paused in his chewing motion.
He wasn't actually sure either.
I was in such a hurry when I found her last night, and then I was busy warming her up that I didn't pay any attention to my own body's reaction.
That kiss just now... I really felt something.
But he wasn't sure if he was fully recovered.
He didn't want to disappoint her, nor did he want to force her.
What if... what if it still doesn't work?
"Go back and see Dr. Hu," he said, his voice regaining its usual calm. "We'll talk about it after we've confirmed it."
Su Wanwan understood the meaning behind the words.
He was afraid that if he wasn't fully recovered, Su Wanwan's experience would be poor.
