Ch. 114 Historical Kiss(2)

No matter how much Louise thought of it, it was strange. Although many events went against the tide of the original story, this was a world built by the author for romance. Even a simple tease on a possible kissing scene was sure to get a thousand likes.

What was strange was that in this sweet world Dean and Claire, who had feelings for each other, could not be together.

No. It was strange even if the world wasn’t like this. People who liked each other should be able to have a normal relationship and experience both the sweet and bitter taste of love.

Louise was passing near the greenhouse with more green grapes that the caretaker had given her. She peered inside, hoping for Simon or Professor Hill, but there was no one.

She called out for Hesse into the air, as he said he wanted to eat more of these grapes. However, he did not appear next to her with his signature mischievous smile.

An answer came from above. When Louise looked up, she saw Hesse wearing a male uniform and waving at her from a tree branch.

Smiling, he turned his eyes to look at Louise’s grape basket.

Louis lifted the basket up towards the tree. Hesse pulled out a long wooden stick from somewhere and pulled in the basket.

Hesse scratched his nose as if he found it difficult to answer.

There was no answer to her playful joke. Normally he would have replied, “I came running because I smelled grapes from far away!”

A voice answered from behind Louise.

Louise looked at him replied lightly.

As she spoke she looked up the tree and saw that Hesse was gone. As well as basket of grapes.

Louise shrugged her shoulders and walked a step ahead, and Ian fell into step by her side.

Louise brought him up to speed about student council meeting. He listened to her tone and carefully observed her expressions, one by one. She didn’t forget to interject with cheerful exclamations to keep the conversation pleasant.

Louise was a valuable pillar of the student council, and he patted her on the head.

Louise murmured anxiously, and Ian agreed.

A broad smile spread across Ian’s face. There was a shiver in Louise’s spine, and she took a step back.

Ian immediately stepped closer.

Louise took another three steps back. Ian followed her yet again.

Before she knew it, the cool wall of the building touched her back and she couldn’t retreat any further. She had an ominous feeling.

She raised her head. The building cast a deep shadow on Ian, and she couldn’t clearly see his face.

Louise stared up at him with a troubled look.

Louise couldn’t bring herself to say the word kiss.

He was the devil for pointing it out exactly.

He tenderly took both her hands and whispered in a soft voice.

Her small hands twitched between his fingers.

He pulled her pale hand towards him and kissed it lightly. Louise closed her eyes at the tickling sensation. Without her vision, her hearing became several times more sensitive, and she could hear her heart pounding against her chest in response to the brush of his lips against her skin.

She heard his heard whisper close in front of her.

His voice was soothing or pleading, like he was waiting for something. She opened her eyes slowly and took in the sight of him. He had an unfamiliar expression on his face.

Louise managed to speak, avoiding his gaze a little.

At Louise’s reply he laughed out loud.

Louise lifted her head in protest, but he refused.

He spoke rather confidently.

As he spoke, the gap between them grew even smaller.

Their lips were almost touching when he said the last word.

His soft voice, his breath, and even his lips were all within reach. He was as suave as before, but there was a hint of urgency in him. Maybe it was because they were yearning the same thing.

Louise clutched his hand tightly, and at that moment they tilted their heads to fit each other more perfectly. She gave a sharp inhale. Was it because of her painfully beating heart?

Ian dropped his lips away for a moment. Perhaps he was worried about the unstable sound of Louise’s breathing, and he whispered gently, with his forehead still touching hers.

He squeezed her hand.

He shook his head, his voice a gentle murmur. He was worried that it sounded like he was putting the blame on Louise, so he changed his words.

When he finished speaking, their lips naturally fell into each others.

Louise stole a glance at Ian from underneath her lashes. His eyes were completely closed, as if this was the first time for him. Like he was yearning for her with all of one’s heart and soul.

She heard a sound from over his shoulder. Louise looked carefully so Ian wouldn’t notice.

And came face-to-face with a surprised-looking young court official.
