Those Sweet Times

Chapter 102 Part 4

Extra: Shen Zemu and Yang Yin

It was a box about the size of his palm, wrapped in dark blue wrapping paper. There was an even darker colored bow on top of the box.

“What is it?” He asked.

“Open it.”

Shen Zemu opened the box. There was a Dupont lighter inside, with a pale gold metal frame. It was rectangular with clean and simple lines with a sapphire blue lacquer finish which was as deep as the night.

Shen Zemu quietly looked at the lighter. Yang Yin said with a smile: “Happy New Year, Shen Zemu.”

“Thanks.” He raised his eyes to look at her and his eyes stayed on her face.

Yang Yin was a little bashful under his gaze. She pointed at the lighter in his hand: “Try it.”

“Alright.”

Shen Zemu pulled out a cigarette and put it in between his lips. Yang Yin was eager to give it a try: “Let me light it up for you?”

Shen Zemu bent forward a bit with the cigarette in his mouth.

Yang Yin spun the lighter’s spark wheel to get a small bright yellow flame dancing on top of the lighter. Snowflakes fluttered around them like moths, the ones that got close to the flame melted away from the heat.

Yang Yin carefully lifted the lighter up to him.

Shen Zemu’s eyes still rested on her face. When the flame came out, there were two soft and bright rays of light reflected in her smiling eyes.

Behind her, snow flew by and there were sparks in her eyes.

Yang Yin lit the cigarette and felt a special sense of accomplishment for some reason.

Shen Zemu straightened up, took the cigarette from his mouth with his index and middle fingers, and lightly blew out bluish grey smoke. The smoke circled in the air and quickly disappeared in the snow.

Yang Yin felt the way he smoked looked so sexy. She opened her palm to him: “Give me one.”

Shen Zemu didn’t move, but slightly raised his eyebrows and asked: “You know how to?”

“I never smoked before, but I want to try.”

“Oh.” 

He moved his arm a bit. Yang Yin thought he was going to take out another cigarette. But all of a sudden, he simply brought the lighted cigarette in his hand over to her mouth.

“Try it.”

Yang Yin’s heart started racing. He had just smoked from this cigarette and now it was in her mouth. She couldn’t help but feel that he was being a bit flirty! For a moment, she even started to wonder whether it was because she had an indecent mind that everything looked like it was flirting to her?

She had the cigarette in her mouth but didn’t have the courage to do anything.  She looked transfixed with wide eyes. Shen Zemu took the cigarette away from her and put it back into his mouth again.

Then, with the cigarette in his mouth, he lowered his head to look at her with the spiralled smoke between them.

Through the smoke, Yang Yin could still see that his eyes were shining bright, so bright that it was scorching, and she froze under his gaze.

Behind him, it was falling snow and there was a flicker in his eyes

Yang Yin was so nervous that she almost couldn’t breath. She blinked at him: “W-what?”

Holding the cigarette with his fingers, Shen Zemu suddenly reached forward, wrapped his arm around her, then lowered his head to kiss her.

That was what he meant.

It felt like fireworks had exploded inside Yang Yin’s head.

She hugged him back and raised her head up to meet his kiss. The two of them kissed in the icy snow for a long time.
