NovelEnglishChapter 176 "Uh?" I hadn't really thought about it.
Probably not, considering I've only kissed a few people in my life. Even with Conrad, whom I've had the biggest crush on for ages, I only stole kisses when he was sick and weak or passed out from a few too many beers. But those were just pecks on the cheek or the back of his hand.
But just now, with Ernest, it was a real, full-on lip lock, something even Conrad and I rarely shared. When Conrad kissed me, it was always just a peck on the cheek or forehead, never anything more.
He once said, "Felicia, we're too close, I just can't make that move." At the end of the day, it's probably because he's not in love. They say that when a man and woman kiss, the dopamine that gets released is uncontrollable.

Ernest swallowed hard. "But I want to know." His gaze was intense and unwavering, almost suffocating.
I found it hard to breathe, then let out a mocking laugh, "What, is this the first ta girl has kissed you? You're taking it so seriously?" "Yes!" His one-word answer made my smile freeze on my face.

If you're taking this too seriously, then I might have to find someone else." "So, you're going to change boyfriends every day?" Ernest's voice was as cold as ice.
I laughed it off, trying to appear carefree, "I'd rather not, but if you can't handle it, I don't have a choice." Ernest didn't say anything, his whole demeanor was icy, as if he was trying to freezeout.
Despite his coldness, I continued to poke at him, know you're a good guy, and it's true that by asking you to play this role, to hold hands, hug, even kiss, I'm taking advantage of you. So, let's just end this fake relationship here." With that, I pushed him away and got into my car.
He stood there, unmoved. I rolled down the window, "You're not leaving?" He stayed silent. I forced a smile, rolled up the window, and drove off.
