"You were drunk last night," Quan Yu looked at her. In the dim, shifting light, there was a gleam in his eyes.
Such an intense gaze...
"Hmm," Ning Guiwan replied, her throat feeling a bit dry.
"You don't know how to unfasten a collar pin," Quan Yu said, placing Ning Guiwan's hand on his collar. He leaned in close, his voice very low. "I'll teach you."
"It's simple, a spiral clasp. Just twist it open."
Quan Yu looked serious, as if he were genuinely teaching her.
"You try."
Ning Guiwan's hand was held by his, a burning warmth spreading where their skin touched.
The movie reached the part where Joe brings the drunken princess home, and the princess was saying how she'd never been alone in a room with a man before.
Her mind seemed clear, yet muddled at the same time. She mechanically followed Quan Yu's direction, twisting open the spiral clasp of the collar pin and removing it, revealing the buttonhole on the shirt's collar.
