After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Tyrant's Beloved (38)

When walking up the long stone steps, Qi Mingxuan led the way, holding Li Shu's hand in his left hand without letting go. After stepping out of the secret door, he turned around and faced Li Shu.

Leaning forward slightly, Qi Mingxuan's movement was subtle, but since the two were already close, this action made the gap between him and Li Shu even smaller. As their faces drew closer, Li Shu spoke up: "Your Majesty?"

Qi Mingxuan didn't respond, he just kept looking at him intently, his face getting closer and closer.

Li Shu wondered if he had been affected by the "poisoned man" earlier. Otherwise, how could someone who was fine a moment ago look so silly now?

He reached out and wanted to explore the man's forehead, but the man stopped him halfway and held it in his hand, refusing to let go.

The man's movement didn't stop, and in a moment, his face was almost touching Li Shu's.

Just as Li Shu was about to say something, he noticed Qi Mingxuan stop his movement, staring at him blankly.

"Qi Mingxuan?"

This name seemed to trigger a reaction in Qi Mingxuan. The dazed look in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by an unmistakable heat. This wasn't the first time he had seen such a look in the man's eyes and he had long been accustomed to it.

But Qi Mingxuan always had the heart of a thief but not the courage of one. No matter how hard he restrained himself, he didn't dare make a move. Therefore, Li Shu remained still, he was curious about what Qi Mingxuan wanted to do.

As for what Qi Mingxuan wanted to do, he himself didn't know. His mind was muddled, and he could only follow the most primal feeling. Seeing the young man's opening and closing lips, revealing the small pearl-like teeth hidden behind and the rosy tip of his tongue, he couldn't help but feel dry-mouthed and tongue-tied.

"Bang, bang—"

He could hear the rapid pounding in his chest. He stared at the young man's lips, lowered his head as if fascinated, and leaned closer —

Just as it seemed they were about to kiss, Li Shu suddenly tilted his head, and the kiss landed on his cheek instead.

Feeling the gentle touch on his cheek, Li Shu suddenly realized that his earlier feeling was correct—Qi Mingxuan did indeed want to kiss him.

Qi Mingxuan was a little dissatisfied when the kiss failed. He licked the tender cheek, then gently pecked and kissed it, reluctant to let go.

Continuing downward, he lingered in an attempt to find that original target.

Li Shu took a step back to prevent him from succeeding. Looking at the man who was still in a daze, he narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Your Majesty." Li Shu's tone was neither light nor heavy. It was not so different from usual, but beneath the gentle coat lay a layer of ice.

The two simple words were like a bucket of ice water poured over him, snapping Qi Mingxuan out of his reverie and forcing him to sober up from his romantic fantasies.

"Are you awake now?"

When he looked up, he saw Li Shu looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. Unsure of Li Shu's attitude, he stood in place, not daring to make any move.

Li Shu, who had initially felt a bit offended, found his annoyance dissipating at Qi Mingxuan's current demeanor.

Qi Mingxuan, such a tall man who was the unparalleled emperor of this world, now looked like a big dog afraid of being abandoned by its owner. He stood there hesitantly, not daring to approach. Li Shu could even imagine a pair of drooping ears above his head.
