Chapter 414: His Cheek Touched Tan Mo’s
Wei Zhiqian promised to accompany her for the entire day to do whatever she wanted.
Tan Mo’s brothers should have been at ease with Wei Zhiqian by her side.
Even if her brothers brought up the matter, they would not kick up a fuss after knowing Wei Zhiqian was with her.
With that, Tan Mo clapped her hands in happiness.
It was a perfect plan.
“No problem.” Wei Zhiqian immediately agreed. “Do you have any place in mind?”
“Yeah!” After getting in the car, Tan Mo opened the review app and sent Wei Zhiqian the location. “This is the one.”
After clicking on the GPS navigation, Wei Zhiqian followed the route to the escape room.
That place had many good reviews and particularly high ratings.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a giant crowd packing the whole place, waiting to participate in the games.
“As expected of a highly rated place.” Tan Mo sighed. The sight of it further increased her anticipation.
“Hurry up.” Tan Mo pulled Wei Zhiqian to queue for the ticket payment and to pick a game.
Most people came in groups. Hence, they would only send a representative to line up for the payment.
As a result, only a few people were in the line.
Five people were in front of Wei Zhiqian waiting to get their tickets.
Tan Mo stood outside of the waiting line next to Wei Zhiqian to keep him company.
While waiting, Tan Mo checked out the list to pick which game she wanted to play.
She was awed by the options available as all of them seemed to be pretty interesting.
“Which one do you want to play?” Tan Mo stretched her hand to show Wei Zhiqian her cellphone.
He did not take it. He only moved closer to her to look at the cellphone’s screen.
Although he was taller than her, his eyesight wasn’t as good as Qin Mufeng’s.
The font size on Tan Mo’s cellphone screen was too small for him to read.
He bowed his head and got even closer to her.
He stopped at Tan Mo’s head level. His cheek was within a hair’s breadth of touching hers.
Tan Mo’s ears twitched a little. She could feel the heat on her left cheek as Wei Zhiqian came closer to her.
The warmth of his face transmitted to hers.
“Let me see,” Wei Zhiqian said in a soft voice.
It was too close for comfort. His deep and hoarse voice felt as if it bounced off her face and traveled into her ears along with an electric shock.
Tan Mo’s ears flushed as she lowered her head in nervousness.
At that, the hair behind her ear fell and covered a part of her face.
Without warning, a fingertip with static charges swept across her cheek.
Following that, Tan Mo’s mind went blank. She was frozen to the spot.
She instinctively turned her head in Wei Zhiqian’s direction and noticed that he was only a whisker away.
He seemed to be closer than he was the night before in front of her residence.
Tan Mo held her breath and took in the sight of the contours of his soft lips.
Blinking her eyes, Tan Mo took a shallow breath.
Just then, the sour and sweet scent of lemon emitted from his lips and rushed into her nostril.
Tan Mo gulped in restlessness and was dumbfounded.
His lips were slightly opened, exposing a thin line of his white teeth.
“Your hair is in the way,” Wei Zhiqian said while running his fingers through the hair that was covering Tan Mo’s face and touching her face. He tucked her hair behind her ear as he gazed at her with a warm smile.
The fingertip that swept across her cheek earlier left a pink mark on it.
Even after a while, the numbness remained on her face.
Before Tan Mo could react, Wei Zhiqian lowered his head again.
His cheek accidentally touched hers, causing her to be rooted to the ground.
Wei Zhiqian asked, “Which one do you wanna play?”
Tan Mo was absent-minded and distracted by the sensation of his cheek touching hers earlier.
His skin was surprisingly soft and tender.
“Momo?” Wei Zhiqian reiterated. Tan Mo was brought back to reality after sensing a few gentle taps on her head.
“What were you thinking about?” Wei Zhiqian chuckled in a deep and husky voice.
Turning her head, Tan Mo gaped at the starry eyes and lips that curled up into a beam.
Even after living for two lifetimes, the poor little snow fairy had never experienced any flirtation like this.
It caused her usual sharp-wittedness to fail on her at that moment.
“I… I’m deciding which one to play.” Tan Mo bowed her head and averted her eyes from him.
How could she have not noticed the allure and loveliness of him before?
She suddenly had an epiphany and understood Qin Murong’s feelings a little.
She came to realize why Qin Murong was relentless in pursuing Wei Zhiqian.
Aside from the attractiveness of wanting to become the Wei family’s matriarch, Wei Zhiqian alone was enough to make Qin Murong willingly let herself be locked up in Wei Manor, yet she still wouldn’t give up on him.
Tan Mo could still recall Wei Zhiqian’s countenance and figure during his teenage years.
At that time, he was a young man of wonderful beauty, especially so whenever he strolled under the clear night sky.
He was exceptionally charming and handsome.
After becoming a mature man, his every move—his smile and expression—was brimmed with charm and glamor.
Girls would blush at the sight of him and even fantasize in their minds about getting down and dirty with him.
Tan Mo lowered her head to avoid eye contact. The hair Wei Zhiqian tucked behind her ear earlier fell again.
Thus, she passed her cellphone to Wei Zhiqian and declared, “Please have a look while I tie my hair up.”
Tan Mo had a hair tie on her wrist.
She tidied up her hair and prepared to tie it up.
Suddenly, Wei Zhiqian uttered, “Let me help you with that.”
Before Tan Mo could reply, he gripped the entire handful of hair from her hands.
“Do you know how?” Tan Mo questioned in surprise.
She turned back against Wei Zhiqian since her hair was in his hands.
Standing behind Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian asked, “Did you forget that I often tied your hair when you were young?”
Did her childhood memories slip her mind after becoming a grown-up?
What an ungrateful girl.
Tan Mo hurriedly replied, “I remember! Of course, I did! I just… I thought that your skill might be a little rusty since it was many years ago the last time you tied my hair.”
“You’ll know when I’m done.” Wei Zhiqian raised the corners of his lips.
The crowd’s attention was on the two of them. Some bystanders sighed in jealousy. “Look over there. Did you see how he treated her? How nice would it be if I have someone like him.”?
Holding Tan Mo’s long hair in his hand, Wei Zhiqian combed it with his fingers repeatedly.
He ran his fingers through her smooth, long, silky hair as though it was a silk cloth.
Addicted to the sensation, Wei Zhiqian was raking his slender fingers through her hair without tying it up.
“Are you done?” Tan Mo asked.
While doing her hair, his fingertips would often rub against her scalp.
Each time he stroked, the numb sensation would spread across her head.
That sensation would run all the way down to her nape.
It was intolerable for her.
“I’m almost done. I need to gather your hair properly so that no loose strands are sticking out like a sore thumb,” Wei Zhiqian lied to her blatantly without blinking an eye.
In reality, he had tidied her long silky hair a little while ago.
Following that, Wei Zhiqian pulled the handful of her long hair up high near the top of her head.
