This wasn't adding water; this was fanning the flames.
Chen Xiao felt like he was about to burst into flames.
After filling the cup, Lin Ya walked over to Chen Xiao and placed it on the coffee table.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but peek inside her collar again. Lin Ya's face flushed, and she quickly stood up to return to her seat.
But her head was swimming, and she wasn't paying attention. Her foot caught on something, and she started to pitch forward!
Chen Xiao's reflexes were sharp. He grabbed her and pulled her back, preventing her from falling forward.
But he pulled too hard, and Lin Ya was caught off guard. She stumbled back into his embrace, landing right on his lap.
"Erk—"
It was happening all over again.
Time seemed to stand still.
The second hand of the wall clock ticked away, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK. Lin Ya felt Chen Xiao begin to move in rhythm with it.
She didn't dare move, lowering her head as her face burned red.
