Yang Zi used her fingers to trace the painting. She could feel every emotion in each stroke. He drew every stroke of the painting with love.

"Your paintings are flawless. Your skills are a thousand times better than mine. This is the best gift I have ever received. Thank you so much," Yang Zi said as she gave him a warm embrace. Yifeng was over the cloud as he caressed her back. He completely forgot he wasn't supposed to get too close to her.

​​

"I am glad you love the gift and I am so happy my efforts were not wasted," Yifeng said, slowly unwrapping his hands around her.

"I might really fall head over heels for you if you continue spoiling me like this," Yang Zi said, staring into his eyes. She got trapped by his burning gaze.

"My heart yearns for nothing else but that which you have just mentioned. The day you confessed your love for me is the day you will make me the happiest man on earth," Yifeng said, bringing his face closer to hers as he spoke.

"All your words are cheesy. I wonder how many women you have said these words to," Yang Zi said, feeling jealous. No matter how jealous she was, she couldn't avoid his gaze.

"You are the first person I have said these words to," Yifeng said, cupping her face.

"All men are liars and cheaters. I know you are just saying this honey-coated words to entice me. I know you have said this same words to your many women," Yang Zi said pissed. The thought of Yifeng being intimate with another lady upset her.

"I promise, you are the first person to ever hear these words from my mouth," Yifeng reassured.

"Then prove it," Yang Zi ordered boldly.

"And that I will gladly do," Yifeng replied, pulling her in for a kiss. Yang Zi didn't struggle with him. The way she instantly responded to his kiss showed that she was longing for this. His hands explored her back as he kissed her passionately. Their body yearned for each other. Their kiss was heated and intense. It wasn't as slow as the one they had in the flower path. He released her lips to give her space to breathe. After he removed his lips, he stared into her beautiful eyes passionately.

"I didn't...," Yifeng stammered, scared of what she might do. He knew it was wrong of him to kiss her, but he just couldn't get a grip of himself. His feelings developed to the point that he couldn't control it anymore.

"From today onwards, I denounce you as my friend," Yang Zi said firmly. Yifeng was taken aback. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

"What did you just say?" Yifeng asked, his eyes widened in shock.

"Yang Zi, I am sorry. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that to you. Don't be mad at me, Ok," Yifeng used the soft approach. He knew getting angry at her when he was at fault will only aggravate the situation.

"Yang Zi, please say something. You are my friend and not my lover, I shouldn't have ever crossed that boundary. I am deeply sorry, hmm," Yifeng coaxed, touching her hands.

"You are no longer my friend anymore, but I put you among the list of my suitors," Yang Zi, who was frowning earlier, said, smiling at him. She deliberately did not complete her sentence just to see Yifeng's reaction. How could she bear to get mad at him when she had gotten so attached to him?

"What? You were mad at me earlier, so why are you saying this? You are not pulling another prank at me, right?" Yifeng asked, with a confused expression. He couldn't understand her sudden mood change.

"I was never mad at you. You are the one who didn't let me complete my sentence before you jumped into conclusion. I played along when I saw you apologise. I can't believe you apologised after kissing me. Maybe I should really get mad at you for stirring my heart up only to apologise," Yang Zi said, faking an angry expression. "Oh, my heart, she caught me there. Should I be thankful that she was only joking when she almost gave me a heart attack earlier?" Yifeng thought, holding his throbbing chest.

"Did you just say I stir up your heart? Does this confirm you love me?" Yifeng asked anxiously. His heart pounded fast in anticipation. He vowed to throw all reasonings out the window if Yang Zi admitted that she had feelings for me.

"Hmm...," Yang Zi trailed, resisting the urge to laugh. "But you are not the only one who stirred up my heart. There is someone on the number 1 of my list. You are the second on my list," Yang Zi said, holding back her laughter when she saw Yifeng's expression fell drastically.

"I am not the only one you like?" Yifeng asked dejectedly. Yang Zi's word sounded unbelievable to him.

"I have someone I have always liked. He has proposed to me countless times, but I have always rejected him despite having feelings for him. I knew dating him would get into my way of revenge, that is why I always rejected him, but unfortunately, he isn't aware of my feelings for him," Yang Zi said, acting so love-struck.

"If you like him so much, then why didn't you warn me about this beforehand. I can't believe you kissed me countless times despite having feelings for another guy," Yifeng said, avoiding her gaze. He always thought the reason Yang Zi had difficulty in opening the door of the heart to him was because of her past. He felt like a fool now that he knew that wasn't the only reason she was so cold to him.

"I like him, its true, but you also stand a chance to totally win my heart now that you are in my top 2 list of admirers. I wasn't supposed to tell you this but let me give you a hint," Yang Zi said. She used her two hands to turn his face around. She hated seeing him like this.

"You have the highest possibility of winning my heart, but it's Ok with me if you still want to give up even after hearing this crucial information," Yang Zi threw a very irresistible hint at him. His expression brightened immediately as he heard he had a very high chance of having her all to himself. What he did not know was that Yang Zi never mentioned that she liked him, she only said he stirred up her heart.

"Really? Who is the jerk on the number one spot on your list? Tell me and I will teach him a lesson for daring to stir my woman's heart," Yifeng said, staring into her eyes.

"His identity is a secret, which means you have to work a thousand times harder since your rival is in the shadows," Yang Zi said, smiling naughtily.

"You are right, I have to first make you mine before he makes a move," Yifeng said seriously.

"Then why don't we start now," Yang Zi said provocatively, taking Yifeng by surprise when she captured his lips.

She likes him. She came to realise this undeniable truth the moment he kissed her earlier. She was so mad earlier in the rain after he finished kissing her. She was not angry with him, but with herself for falling in love with him so soon when she had vowed never to fall in love.

Yifeng quickly pulled out immediately. He won't be able to stop if he continued to get so intimate with her.

"What happened? Don't you want me anymore?" Yang Zi asked, staring into his eyes for answers. She disliked the way he abruptly stopped kissing her when she was enjoying every bit of it.

"I desire having you moan in my hands and sing my name. I really do but I won't be able to stay sane for long so I can't continue anymore," Yifeng said keeping a safe distance from her. He like her more than anyone can ever imagine, but for the sake of his respect for her, he won't have sex with her no matter how horny he was at the moment.

"Are you always this careful with every other woman?" Yang Zi asked, drawing closer to him.

"You know the answer," Yifeng said as his eyes momentarily gazed at cleavage. Because of their heated kiss earlier, her chest became more exposed. Her breast was slightly exposed.

"Button your shirt up and also sit up properly," Yifeng advised as he stood up.

"Goodnight, I will see you after you wake up," Yifeng informed turning to walk away but Yang Zi instantly stood up and hugged him from behind.

"I know you have always desired my body. I can give it to you right here and now. Won't you take my offer?" Yang Zi whispered into his ears seductively. He kissed her earlier, so he knew she wasn't drunk. What marvelled him was why she was acting so weird? His beloved Yang Zi will never say this stuffs to him, so he was confused. "Is she testing me or does she really desire me?" Yifeng thought after a few minutes of analysing.

"I have had sex with so many ladies...,"
