Chapter 83: An Active Kiss
Chenyang had expected Anna to raise this objection all along.
After all, her sudden relapse today was triggered by the discovery that Angie had been posing as Emperor Xiaoyao.
To that end, Chenyang and Angie had already prepared a story.
"I am Emperor Xiaoyao. I’ve been the one chatting and falling in love with you this whole time. The reason Angie said she was pretending to be Emperor Xiaoyao was because she was worried you’d be deceived by me. She was also afraid that seeing me in person would cause a relapse if you were disappointed by the reality."
Anna frowned. "My sister does look out for me, but it’s also a fact that you two lied to me. I saw the Emperor Xiaoyao account on her phone, and it was only after I pressed her again and again that she admitted she was pretending to be him."
"I gave her that account."
"You gave it to her?"
"Yes. Not long ago, right around the time you first suggested we meet, someone with a profile picture similar to yours added me as a friend. She said she was your sister, Angie. I didn’t think much of it and accepted.
"After we talked for a bit, she told me about your condition and shared some of her concerns—mainly that I might be deceiving you, that online relationships are unreliable, and that I should break up with you.
"I was unwilling to accept that and had no intention of breaking up with you. I genuinely like you and never thought about deceiving you.
"But from your sister’s words, it was clear how much she cares about you and worries about your illness. So, we made an agreement. Actually, it wasn’t really an agreement; it was more like a bet."
"What kind of bet?"
"Angie would take my account and, at an opportune moment, tell you that she was the one pretending to be Emperor Xiaoyao. Then she would see how you reacted. If you didn’t have much of a reaction, it would mean you didn’t like me that much, and I would have to back out on my own.
"But if you had a strong reaction, she would give me a chance to be with you in real life."
At this, Chenyang took Anna’s small hand in his, his face full of deep affection. "Nana, I never wanted to make this bet. It’s not that I don’t have faith in our relationship, but I didn’t want to introduce an element of gambling into it.
"But Angie is your sister. As the old saying goes, an older sister is like a mother. If we want to be together, we can’t avoid her. So I agreed to the bet. But I know you, and I know our relationship. The moment Angie used Emperor Xiaoyao’s identity to deceive you, I knew you’d have a huge emotional swing.
"I was worried your condition would worsen, so I rushed here overnight. As soon as Angie told me you’d had a relapse, I came straight here."
Watching Chenyang’s affectionate expression and hearing his sincere tone, the doubt and anger in Anna’s heart were instantly replaced by a profound sense of being moved.
A blissful smile appeared on her beautiful face, and her gentle, pretty eyes welled up with tears.
"Don’t cry. Did I say something wrong?"
"No."
"Then why are you... Mmph—!"
Chenyang knew he had successfully duped Anna, but to completely dispel her last bit of suspicion, he continued his act.
But before he could finish his sentence, a deeply moved Anna leaned in and kissed him.
The sudden kiss caught Chenyang completely off guard. He even accidentally bit Anna’s tongue as she tentatively slid it into his mouth.
Anna smiled, cupping his face in her hands. "Brother, you bit me. Don’t tell me this is actually your first kiss?"
"Uh... actually, I..."
"No need to explain. You’re a man, you don’t want to admit you’re still a novice, right?"
’What a naive little girl,’ Chenyang thought with a wry smile.
"Brother."
"Hm?"
"Let me teach you how to French kiss."
"Huh?"
"What? Are you unwilling, or are you disappointed now that you’ve seen me in person?"
"No."
"Back when we were chatting, you said you wanted to sleep with me after we met. Now you’re not even happy with just a kiss. Were you lying to me all that time?"
"No, I wasn’t lying to you."
"Then come on."
"I... Mmph."
Before Chenyang could get the words out, Anna kissed him forcefully again.
Her soft, moist lips pressed tightly against his. Her supple tongue invaded with practiced ease, teasing Chenyang’s nerves like a small snake.
A moment later, Chenyang began to respond instinctively.
His hand, as if with a will of its own, slid past Anna’s smooth, pale legs to wrap around her slender waist.
After stroking her back a few times, his hand slowly climbed to the proud, firm peaks of her chest.
Her thin tank top could barely contain the fullness beneath.
They were proud and soft, more than a single hand could hold.
And since she wasn’t wearing a bra, not only was the sensation exquisite, but he could also feel the two pink buds gradually hardening.
Sensing no objection from Anna, Chenyang grew bolder.
As his fingers kneaded and caressed her, he could clearly feel her breathing become shallow. A hazy veil of passion clouded her beautiful eyes.
Their kiss deepened.
It felt like they were on the verge of suffocation.
As time passed, Chenyang’s hand slipped inside her tank top, closing firmly around one of the soft mounds.
Anna pressed her entire body against him.
Her red lips traveled from his, across his cheek, and stopped at his ear. Her breath was warm and fragrant as she whispered, "Brother, let’s make love."
