Clarity flooding his eyes, Wang Jun finally broke off their contact. He looked at the hand that had held her, as if savoring the lingering warmth from her skin. Glancing at her still form, approval showed itself on his face.
Liechtenstein shakily let out a breath, knowing that she had passed some sort of test at the cost of her body's energy. Wang Jun sat down, his entire demeanour more energised and content, like a lion that just devoured an entire gazelle. Liechtenstein shivered at that thought. The implications of that simile were not good, and too close to her actual situation for her comfort.
He settled down, hunching slightly. Liechtenstein tentatively edged away, stopping when he glanced meaningfully at her. Sensing his better mood, she asked, "May I ask what that was?"
"That, little bird, was you. Your energy, to be exact."
The Chinese male had a sly smile on his face as he observed Liechtenstein frown in confusion. He waved his hand casually, voice taking on a teasing tone, "If you want to know more, there'll be a price."
The green-eyed country quickly assessed her current energy level. Mild fatigue had settled in her muscles, and her body, weakened by the drug and multiple recoveries, was taking longer to replenish the stolen energy.
Cutting off any hesitation, she quickly clasped her hands around Wang Jun's, trying to ignore the ravenous sapping.
"Please... tell me what you mean."
