When Bennett entered, Claudia instinctively gazed up, pondering whether to ask if he was in a better mood.

She looked at his eyes and felt embarrassed.

It was funny to think about how they were chased and had to climb over the wall tonight.

She didn't expect that Bennett would do something like that with her.

She'd intended to brighten his mood, but reflecting on it, she wondered if it was she who brought joy to him or the other way around.

"I'm going to take a shower."

With a playful smirk, Bennett headed to the bathroom.

Claudia stared into the mirror, telling herself to not fall asleep now.

She didn't lie down on the bed, fearing she might fall asleep instantly.

Once Bennett stepped out, she swiftly got up from her seat.

Catching her movement, he asked with a hint of amusement, "Something bothering you?"

Claudia remained silent, but she approached him, gently enveloped him in her arms, and softly said, “Bennett.”

“yihat?"

“Are you feeling better now?"

Even if he was just feeling a little better, she would feel satisfied.

Though Bennett rarely showed it, when he was with her, his warmth was palpable. She wished he'd smile more often.

He gently wrapped her within his embrace, tilting his face to meet her eyes and whispered, "Of course."

Afterwards, he leaned down and gently kissed her on the lips, whispering, "That's much better."

Claudia blinked her eyes and asked, “Can you kiss me again?"

Following her words, she wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on her tiptoes, and planted a tender kiss on his slender Lips.

Bennett felt a gentle tug at his heart, light and soothing, as if he was enveloped in a refreshing citrus scent, willingly falling to the soft emotions.

He gently lifted Claudia, settling on the bed with her.

Sitting on his body, Claudia kissed him so passionately that the atmosphere in the room was getting hotter and hotter.

Claudia's breathing quickened, as if she were sitting atop of hot pot.
