Looking at the sleeping Long Jinjing in front of him, Lu Zihao forced down the confusing emotions that were causing him to act so unlike his usual character.

'This is lust, just lust,' he desperately persuaded himself.

Any other possibility was something that he couldn't afford to consider. His little Miss Prim and Proper lady deserved a happy and safe life—something that he couldn't possibly give her. He would just be wronging her if he continued desiring to be with her when he knew full well that she was in love with him.

But…he really wanted Long Jinjing.

He craved for her.

She occupied his mind during the day and his dreams at night. She was like a drug that made him addicted to her, causing him to need her on a regular basis or he would feel like going crazy.

"This is fucking nuts."

Sighing, he leaned down and kissed her lips again. Her warm breath and sweet taste made him groan, making him want more of her. He deepened the kiss and caressed her lips with his tongue before plunging it carefully inside.

She moaned and instinctively responded to his kiss even while asleep. It excited him. He sucked on her lips and enjoyed this moment. When he almost felt like losing control, he forced himself to stop. He was gasping as he sat back on his heels, creating some distance between them.

"Damn."

He pressed his hand over his chest and felt his heart hammering inside with the addition of something he couldn't define. It was a weird sensation—sweet, light, yet also heavy and a little alarming.

These unknown and contradictory feelings were starting to scare the shit out of him.

"Hah…."

He wiped the sweat beading on his forehead with the back of his hand. It wasn't only his forehead. He was covered in sweat. Cold sweat. It felt so uncomfortable.

Then he suddenly remembered the terrible, off-tune song that the remnant sang to tease him earlier.

'Can you feel the love tonight?

Tonight~

It's inside this car~

It's not enough for this blind ass Nikolai~

That his ass got dumped~

Oh, can you feel the love tonight?

Tonight~

His dumb ass got dumped~

It's enough to admit that he fell in love~

Believe the very best~

Advice from the love guru~

Yours truly,

Luuuu Ziiiihaaaaaoooooooo~'

The ridiculous love song was now stuck in his head and played in a seemingly endless loop.

'Damn you, Lu Zihao!'

Nobody replied. The remnant appeared to be "sleeping" after expending its energy conversing with him earlier for almost an hour.

Despite his irritation, he still couldn't help but think of what the remnant said. It claimed that he, Nikolai, was in love with Long Jinjing.

He looked at Long Jinjing, whose lips were now moist and a little swollen, with a complicated expression on his face.

"I'm...in love with you?"

He shook his head.

"No, that can't be. This…I can't possibly…no."

He abruptly stood up and backed away from the bed, creating more distance between the two of them. However, he didn't take his eyes off her. His scarred hand pressed harder on his chest. He could still feel his wildly beating heart.

"Shit."
