This time, Leo's tongue brushed against Anya's lips as his other hand gently cupped her neck. Anya tensed up, clenching her teeth. "Open your mouth," Leo commanded, seizing the moment. "Huh?"

As Anya responded, Leo took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, wrapping his arms tighter around her and closing his eyes, savoring the moment with genuine affection rather than technique.

Anya's cheeks turned a deep shade of red, the color spreading down to her neck. She closed her eyes, overwhelmed by the sensations and Leo's tight embrace, her heart racing with excitement.

...

At lunch in the restaurant, Leo, fresh from a shower with his hair still damp, glanced at a blushing Anya, who kept her head down, too shy to look at him.

"What do you want to drink?" Leo asked, skimming the menu.

"Just water."

After placing their order, Leo sent the waiter away.

Looking across the table at his girlfriend, who still wouldn't meet his gaze, he said, "You're the one who agreed to a blind date, yet you're the one who's shy. Lift your head and look at me. Are you coming to the city library with me to study this afternoon, or are you going with your classmates to the school library?"

"With my classmates."

"After lunch, take a nap at the hotel, and I'll drive you there," Leo added, then teased, "Sit with the girls, not the boys."

"Okay~"

That afternoon, after dropping Anya off at the library, she insisted on eating the melted ice cream in her hand, claiming it was special because Leo bought it for her. Eventually, Leo threw it away and bought her a new one before finally leaving her at the library. "I'll wait here to pick you up when you're done."
