Serena’s face 584cfc506b flushed instantly. It seemed 4788130416 Lucy’s unnecessary 52ad15189f words had a4806139be made her 5889c2849a overly conscious 2d9c3344cc of Azaid a636b9cbd9 in a 7f97e4fe9a strange way.7cc7090ba2795fea

Unintentionally, Serena glanced 5d933a75f2 over Azaid. His sweat-dampened hair should 664756c979 have looked messy, yet 671b5da446 it somehow suited him 3cff80665d as if it had 1a698b023c been deliberately styled.8ad81c997a53bdc4

His deep 4dfb4983bf blue eyes, e2dce7aae9 fixed intently 23b4ebd309 on her, 124a86d20c were clearer 0edb4f2e83 and more e97284eed0 profound than 8bd1f36b5c any lake.72a23834b9cb20da

A warmth lingered 41ed450132 on her palm 4b44b28b4e where his lips 9b1f4aefa1 had touched. Normally, she would c7683d5c13 have pulled her 6e7fdf7c99 hand away without 8d98b3f8b2 hesitation, but now 2e8294d721 it felt as 59a44234d0 though her hand 54e5c0c2e3 was bound, refusing a42fe7141c to move.f78cac3e831ab6a4

Serena bit her b99993d10a lower lip, annoyed 1dda3766fa by how shaky 73de38bbbb her voice sounded. As Lucy had said, 48854a4175 Azaid was handsome enough b24e923de9 to be mistaken for 230bc01d0b a statue.5fff2ab205c5faa8

His disheveled appearance, 058ec084b0 paired with his 9c688b0cae usual languid demeanor, 2d21fa7827 exuded an almost 61f5f653f0 dangerous pheromone that b9bd95567f made it hard 2be437975f for her to edee913010 breathe.3bc14716bbb7a70d

It made sense; given 244ad009e6 his fever, Serena’s hand 5bc083625a must have felt refreshingly 112d8ff9c1 cool. Embarrassed by how f600487b0e flustered she felt b1504e9818 over something so 8eceaa4534 trivial, Serena’s face b69a4549e3 grew even hotter.db22d5c090e053f2

“Yeah, that’s all.”b886e705b14b6348

Amused by Serena’s reaction, 788361e985 Azaid grabbed her other ed405b205d hand and pressed his 9d882d6800 lips against her palm 3eed8380b8 again, playfully yet with c8c3f55a59 undeniable intent.d2319e9051cdece1

But thanks 376c3dba38 to Azaid’s 74ef0dda8d sly excuse, 231c2b0464 Serena couldn’t bbd3ca5b20 bring herself 484fbdcc48 to say cbaacaf7e5 anything and 88d3c7ca5e simply accepted 1eb143a46a it.

Watching Serena 5b75f3b802 fan herself 2d8b1f5dc6 as if 95e7a8da37 trying to f3e2b06d1e cool down, cde01cac81 Azaid let 11af9fc8c6 out a 99812c30b1 quiet laugh.

With a subtle sense 0834033900 of possessiveness, Azaid held 70cfb7027a Serena’s hands alternately, cooling f1724a5016 his fever with her 21ad414751 touch until her hands 04969c15ae matched his temperature.3cd16f967d48f4d3
