Summary
At a party, my dare was to kiss someone of the opposite sex for thirty seconds.
I worked up the courage to ask the man I was supposed to marry in a family alliance for help. Then lines of floating comments appeared in midair.
[Does she really have to kiss that bastard Shen Xu? I can’t bear another story where the heroine suffers until she dies and he regrets it too late!]
[Please, look at his older brother Shen Zhaobei. Who can resist a painfully insecure, brooding little puppy like him?]
[His room is covered with pictures of her, yet he usually won’t even let himself say more than a sentence to her.]
[Brooding boy’s going home to cry in secret again tonight.]
What?
I swallowed the rest of my request and changed course at once.
“Ahem. What I meant was—”
“Shen Xu, could you move? You’re blocking the person I like.”
