A silence enveloped them; even the air in the hall appeared to freeze.
Once a person closes their eyes, their other senses will become extraordinarily sensitive. Silas was no different. He could even feel the warm breath she exhaled gently on his face, carrying her unique fragrance and softness.
Yue Ran slowly approached his face, but stopped when her lips were about to touch his. She whispered, "Your Majesty, just this once, okay?"
After saying that, the young woman leaned even closer. Unfortunately, before she could kiss him, Silas had already opened his eyes. His eyelids lifted slightly, and his gaze fell directly on her face.
Yue Ran was stunned, and her long eyelashes trembled faintly. She happened to meet the man's eyes at that moment, and the two looked at one another.
Their eyes locked, and for a brief instant, the world around them faded into silence.
