After Han Sheng Ming hung up the call, he felt her touch on his arm.

"You shouldn\'t have carried me. You are bleeding." Zheng Mian mumbled softly in a self-blaming tone.

"I\'ve told you that it was nothing. What about you? Aren\'t you hurt? Look at all these bruises," Han Sheng Ming softly reminded her of her own pain.

It was unusual for him to act so kindly and tenderly. It made Zheng Mian emotional again. She quickly lowered her head. She didn\'t want to leave this kind of impression on him – the impression of a cry baby.

Han Sheng Ming panicked when he saw that she began crying again. He pondered, \'Did I say something wrong that might hurt her feelings?\'

He couldn\'t find a way to coax her. His head stopped working when he thought that he might hurt her again if he said something insensible due to his clumsiness.

He remembered that he used to hug Han Luo and give her an ice cream whenever she was mad at him.

Han Sheng Ming simply reached out and pulled Zheng Mian into his arms. He thought that it might work on Zheng Mian too since she was after all a friend of Han Luo.

Zheng Mian\'s body stiffened. She wasn\'t expecting him to hug her so abruptly. She was genuinely touched by his action. She lifted her arms to hug him back.

Han Sheng Ming patted her back gently and whispered in a soft voice, "All right, don\'t cry anymore. I will buy you an ice cream. Which one do you want? Vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream? Actually, you can have both of them too."

"…" Zheng Mian\'s hands froze in midair. \'Is he treating me like a child now?\' she thought.

She moved away and glared at him. "Are you treating me like Luo? Do you see me as your sister?" Her eyes were full of unspoken complaints.

"Ah, I didn\'t mean it that way," Han Sheng Ming hurriedly explained. He panicked even more. "I don\'t see you as my sister."

"Oh," Zheng Mian narrowed her eyes as she glanced at his flustered explanation. She wiped her tears and inched her face close to his. "Then what do you see me as?"

Her beautiful face was wet while her eyes were red and moist. Her nose turned red as well. Her lips were pouting as if they were accusing him.

Han Sheng Ming intently looked at her face and wondered, \'What is wrong with me? Why do I find her extremely cute?\'

He quickly averted his gaze while blabbering, "W-what do you even mean by that? I don\'t see you in any way."

Zheng Mian frowned and sniffed. "If you don\'t, then, why did you hug me? Are you that kind of person who would embrace just any girl you happened to rescue?"

"I would never!" Han Sheng Ming vigorously shook his head in denial.

"Then why did you save me?" Zheng Mian inquired.

"Isn\'t it because you are little Luo Luo\'s friend?" Han Sheng Ming began to sweat. He was feeling restless as she continued to corner him with question after question. He wasn\'t good at mind games or word games.

"Is that your reason for hugging me? Should I tell Luo that you have a habit of hugging her friends?" Zheng Mian accused him again.

Seeing her doubtful eyes, he felt his heart tremble with pain. He couldn\'t find the reason. "N-no! I would never hug any of her friends!"

"But you just did." Zheng Mian pointed it out.

"This…" he couldn\'t fight back. He felt that his tongue was tied.

Zheng Mian sighed deeply. She realized that this guy wouldn\'t take the initiative no matter what.

All of a sudden, she clasped his shirt and drew his body closer. Before Han Sheng Ming could utter a word, his lips were captured by her soft ones.

"!!!" Han Sheng Ming felt his heart drop at the sudden contact. A volcano erupted, the earth shook, thousands of waves crashed on the shore – that\'s what he was feeling at that moment.

Zheng Mian opened her eyes and saw him staring at her with his eyes open wide. She released his lips and chided him, "Close your eyes and kiss me back, dummy." Afterward, she kissed him once again and circled her arms around his neck.

Han Sheng Ming\'s heart stopped beating. He looked closely at how she kissed his lips. His body trembled with an unknown sensation. He wrapped his arms around her, shut his eyes tightly, and kissed her back.

Zheng Mian seemed pleased with his action. She opened her mouth and let her tongue do the rest of the work.

Han Sheng Ming\'s whole body shuddered when he felt her soft and warm tongue probing his lips for entrance. His arms around her soft body tightened even further. 

Noticing that this guy didn\'t know what to do, Zheng Mian said seductively, "Mm… open your mouth."

As if he became her slave, Han Sheng Ming opened his lips and sensed her tongue going inside. At first, he nervously moved away from his tongue but her tongue wouldn\'t let his go. She ventured inside his mouth, making him groan in rapture.

After wrestling for a while, Han Sheng Ming found her action extremely erotic. He gathered some courage and pushed her on to the bed.

"Ah!" Zheng Mian yelped in surprise. She didn\'t even imagine that he would take the initiative.

Han Sheng Ming put his hands on both sides of her head as he pinned her down. He gazed at her alluring expression and her open mouth as if it was inviting him.

He was staring at her as if he was someone who was hungry for a long time and couldn\'t decline her enticing offer. He finally gave in to the temptation. He leaned forward and took her mouth in his.

"Mm!" Zheng Mian was delighted. She wished to forget everything that happened in the hotel room earlier and where those delinquents had touched her.. She clung on to him and hugged him tightly.
