Alvin didn't quite realize what he was doing; the movement seemed subconscious. Maybe it was because as he watched her lips move, he began to miss her taste.
There's no denying that, during this month without seeing her much, he occasionally thought of the feeling of kissing her, as well as the thought of her as a person.
He would think of some of her expressions and actions; how she laughed, how she played around, her silliness, and her paranoia.
So even he was a bit surprised by the kiss. It was almost an instinctual reaction upon seeing her mouth, and he leaned in to kiss her.
But this time, he didn't go deeper; he only pressed his lips against hers.
She was surprised, her wide-open eyes and stiff body were something he could sense.
He didn't know why, but something seemed to strike his heart suddenly. Was it loneliness, solitude, or something else?
Nangong Lin was so shocked she couldn't move. No, it wasn't that she couldn't; she just forgot!
