Chapter 14: A Kiss to Remember

Seeing Liu Suyan’s blushing, slightly angry face, Lu Qiwen couldn’t help but chuckle.

Liu Suyan, thinking about the embarrassing request she had to make, hesitated. But the matter was important to her, so she had to muster the courage to talk to him.

Noticing her changing expressions, Lu Qiwen grew curious. Did Liu Suyan really have something to say to him? Could she be about to confess her feelings? He laughed at himself for such a thought. Liu Suyan was such an extraordinary person; why would she confess to him? But if not, why was she so hesitant and shy?

“Suyan, is something bothering you? Is there something you want to say but can’t?”

Gathering her courage, Liu Suyan lowered her head and spoke softly, “Since you have Shuiyun Pills for men, do you have any pills for women? I mean, something that can stimulate women, but not an aphrodisiac.”

If Lu Qiwen had been wearing glasses, they would have fallen off in shock.

He looked at her flushed face, her head bowed, and his mind raced.

Could Liu Suyan be asking for herself? Or did she realize she had a condition that needed treatment?

Thinking this, Lu Qiwen’s gaze became even more peculiar. No wonder Liu Suyan was always so cold to everyone. Was it because…

“What are you thinking? Stop imagining things!”

Seeing that Lu Qiwen hadn’t responded for a while, Liu Suyan looked up and saw his strange expression.

Realizing what he might be thinking, she felt a wave of embarrassment and wanted to hide.

Lu Qiwen laughed, “Suyan, there’s no need to be shy if you’re unwell. You’ve come to the right person. I do have pills for that condition.”

Liu Suyan was overjoyed but then realized he thought she was the one with the problem. Flustered, she quickly said, “What are you thinking? I’m not the one who’s sick!”

Seeing her anxious expression, Lu Qiwen laughed, “Alright, alright. It’s not you.”

But his tone clearly showed disbelief, and Liu Suyan, on the verge of tears, glared at him.

Taking a deep breath, she said, “I’m not asking for myself. Don’t ask for details. Just trust me.”

Realizing his mistake, Lu Qiwen smiled, “Oh, you should have said so earlier. I thought you were the one with the problem. I’ll give you a few extra pills just in case.”

“You’ll be the death of me!”

Liu Suyan, both embarrassed and angry, couldn’t help but stand up. Suddenly, she leaned over, grabbed Lu Qiwen’s head, and kissed him on the lips.

Lu Qiwen was completely stunned. He felt her warm, soft lips on his, the scent of orchids filling his senses.

His mind went blank, and he could only think, “She kissed me!”

Liu Suyan’s courage quickly faded. Before Lu Qiwen could fully savor the kiss, she pulled away and sat back down, breathing heavily.

Snapping out of his daze, Lu Qiwen instinctively licked his lips and looked at her, his gaze falling on her still-glowing lips.

Seeing his look, Liu Suyan blushed and said, “Now do you believe me? I’m not sick.”

Lu Qiwen just smiled, his face full of joy.

Liu Suyan glared at him, muttering, “You idiot, thinking I have a problem. You made me lose my first kiss.”

Although her voice was low, Lu Qiwen heard her clearly. His gaze fell on her lips again.

Noticing his look, Liu Suyan’s face turned red. “Lu Qiwen, bring the pills to school tomorrow, or else!”

With that, she stormed out of the teahouse.

Lu Qiwen stood up, ready to chase after her, but was stopped by someone.

The waiter, who had been watching them, was amazed by Liu Suyan’s beauty and envied Lu Qiwen’s luck. Seeing Lu Qiwen about to leave, he quickly stopped him.

Lu Qiwen, ready to clarify things with Liu Suyan, was furious at being stopped. But seeing the waiter with the bill, his anger vanished. He had forgotten to pay.

“Sir, four thousand yuan.”

Lu Qiwen nearly jumped. Two cups of tea for four thousand yuan? It was daylight robbery!

Reluctantly, he handed over the money, which he had planned to use for buying herbs for He Xuan’s pills.

Rushing out, he found no sign of Liu Suyan. After what had just happened, she wouldn’t wait for him. But they had agreed to meet tomorrow, and having received her first kiss, Lu Qiwen was overjoyed.

Floating back home, he found He Xuan reading a book.

Seeing his cheerful face, she put down the book and asked, “What happened? You look so happy.”

Lu Qiwen chuckled, “Nothing much.”

He Xuan, with her keen senses, detected a faint fragrance. As a woman, she knew exactly what it was.
