The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel“s Disguise Chapter 127 No Big Deal

How exactly does one become a thief?
Well, one has to be sneaky with his actions and get what he desires.
That's exactly what Xiao Zhi Ren did but he didn't know a small detail about Ru; she's the devil who kept her senses awake even in slumber. She had always been a light sleeper. As a martial artist, she was already sensitive to her surroundings but living without eyes made her even more perceptive.
In the car, she had indeed felt Xiao Zhi Ren's movements. She had felt the pad of his finger as it brushed against her eyebrow while he was taming her hair. She even felt his spearmint breath coming slowly closer to her. But she didn't react at all.
When his soft lips lightly caressed her own, she was going to open her eyes on impulse. It took a lot of effort to stay calm on her part. When he left a soft kiss at the edge of her lips, she felt a tingling sensation. It was a giddy feeling but it felt good somehow.
Huh? Good? Ew!
She smacked her head for even thinking that it was a good feeling. It was a strange feeling. Yes, strange! Very, very strange.
Adia who had been reading out the detailed reports suddenly stopped talking, seeing how her master was busy knocking on his own head.
Ru didn't pay any attention to her. She was still thinking, why didn't she open her bloody eyes? And why didn't she confronted him?
'Because you liked this new feeling.' Her conscience jutted in.
No way! Ru snapped back. I just didn't want to have that awkward feeling between us. Yes! That's it! Ru convinced herself.
'Go and run. Try to hide. But how long can you deny?' Ru rolled her eyes at her own conscience. Was she on her side or not? It didn't seem like it.
"Till the bloody end!" Ru's voice boomed making Adia flinch as she took a couple of steps back.
"Master, are you alright?" Adia finally mustered up some courage to ask.
Ru noticed her weird look and cleared her throat awkwardly.
"Oh, I'm fine. Just peachy." Ru answered with a slightly lost look.
Adia didn't believe her but she acted as if she did. After all, she didn't have a death wish to question her master twice!
She was about to start relating the reports again when Ru stopped her.
"Adia..."
"Yes, master?"
"Have you ever kissed someone?"
Adia choked on air and coughed profusely as she stared at Ru like she was looking at an alien. She lifted her hand and poked it in Ru's cheek.
"What do you think you're doing?" Ru's voice startled her and she cowered back.
"I was checking... If it's really you or someone else took hold of your body." Adia answered meekly.
Ru's mouth twitched. "I asked a question." She tried to distract the conversation again.
Adia straightened up and said professionally. "No, sir. I haven't kissed anyone."
Ru narrowed her eyes. "Liar! Your boyfriend's betrayal led you to join the Mercenary group in Tokyo."
'That was way before I met you, master. How do you even know that?' Adia was complaining to herself but couldn't do anything about it. "Master is quite insightful."
"You wouldn't be here if I wasn't insightful," Ru answered plainly with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Fair enough," Adia answered. "As for your question, I have kissed. But it's been a long time."
Ru gave a thoughtful look before saying, "So, I saw two people yesterday. While the girl was sleeping, the guy came close... And... Well, his lips brushed against hers. And eventually left a soft kiss at the edge of her lips. That's not called a French kiss right?"
Ru looked at her eagerly. 'Say no. Say it!' She was internally ordering her.
Adia pondered over her words for a while before saying, "No, that can't be considered a French kiss." Ru heaved a sigh of relief as if someone had breathed life into her again. "But," Ru halted again.
"But what?"
"It can be considered a stolen kiss." Ru's face fell again.
"But close kin members also share kisses, right? It's perfectly normal." Ru tried to find any straw to hold. She didn't want to accept that Xiao Zhi Ren had feelings for her. She wasn't an idiot. She knew all about feelings.
"It's normal to kiss in friends and close kin members but... The kiss you described isn't one of those." Adia answered cautiously since she felt her master was acting weird.
"What do you know?" Ru roared as she continued, "He must have wanted to kiss on the cheek but it ended up slightly near the lips. It's no big deal. No big deal at all."
