I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 89

The boat was tilting, about to plunge into the water, but luckily Chu Shao stepped on the edge of the boat and pushed it backward with her foot, keeping it balanced.

Her snow-white toes hooked lightly onto the boat's side, miraculously keeping the small boat stable.

At the same time, Chu Shao held Xiao Jin's waist with her left hand and supported the back of her head with her other hand, gently placing her body in the center of the boat.

After stabilizing the boat, the oars stopped swaying.

However, due to the sudden proximity of the boat's edge, the lotus leaves in the lake were squeezed together into a cluster.

Between the new lotus blossoms, the two figures overlapped, their breaths intermingling.

Chu Shao's warm and soft fingertips still covered Xiao Jin's waist, holding onto her slender waist with no excess fat, with her fingertips resting on her jade belt that was about to fall off.

Just like a dragonfly touching the surface of the water, it was most enticing when it was just about to fly.

If it was only eye contact and their breaths were close, it would not have caused Xiao Jin's mind to go blank.

However, Chu Shao's clothes were slightly damp, and she looked down at her with a gentle smile.

The strands of her hair that had fallen loose scattered over Xiao Jin's cheeks and eyes.

The tickling sensation made her heart tremble.

The summer heat seemed to be even worse.

Xiao Jin lay between the oars, gazing up at Chu Shao's eyes.

Inside her eyes, the wrinkled lake water was reflected, the clear lotus swaying slightly, and she could even see her own face shrunk in the reflection.

She did not know when her heartbeat had already started to quicken.

However, Xiao Jin suppressed this emotion and remained calm. "Since the Princess emphasizes on doing things herself, I want to try it out. Now that I've tried it, do you have any idea what I'm thinking?"

In fact, if Xiao Jin had not mentioned it, Chu Shao would have almost forgotten that there was such a thing. It was too arbitrary to use a hug to verify whether her heart was in chaos.

However, she was particularly decisive today. Chu Shao looked down at Xiao Jin and chuckled, "Not yet."

Xiao Jin asked, "Why?"

Chu Shao's voice had a smile, "Because I still don't know whether your heart is in chaos or not."

It was early summer, and the sunlight was clear.

Xiao Jin felt the soft light, lifted her hand, held onto the wet wooden plank, leaned in slightly, and approached Chu Shao.

Her lips were pale, but they were covered with a clear shine from the lychee wine.

She leaned in at this distance, lifted her head, and lightly kissed the pearl earring that was shaking on Chu Shao's earlobe.

She replied, "It's in chaos."

...

After spending half the day boating on the lake, Xiao Jin and Chu Shao should have been somewhat tired when they returned to their residence. 

However, when Jue Ge looked up from her work and glanced at the two of them in the courtyard, she found that they showed no signs of fatigue, and in fact seemed even more refreshed and clear-headed. Moreover, the atmosphere had become particularly subtle.
