Time seemed to stretch infinitely in that moment, each frame slowed to an absolute crawl.
In the global live stream, hundreds of millions of viewers' eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.
They stared intently at the Dragon Country youth on screen.
Dead silence.
A global deathly hush.
The next second, all the live streams exploded as if hit by a nuclear bomb!
"He's crazy! This guy from Dragon Country is completely insane!"
"FUCK! What is this? Performance art before death? Is he trying to humiliate an SSS-Class Anomaly this way?"
"A new way to commit suicide? Before dying, you have to tease the executioner who's about to kill you?"
In the Eagle Country live stream, the host's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, eventually transforming into a morbid, uncontrollable laughter. He clutched his stomach, tears streaming down his face.
"Oh my god! I have to retract everything I said about him before! He's not a pet dog, he's a genius! The ultimate jester, sacrificing his life to entertain us all! Let's give him a thunderous round of applause!"
And in the Dragon Country live stream.
The last few comments in the chat had completely vanished.
Everyone had silently closed their eyes, or simply looked away.
They couldn't bear it, nor could they watch any longer.
What profound humiliation and tragic heroism this was.
However.
One second passed.
The bloody scene they had anticipated, of the young head soaring into the sky, did not appear.
Two seconds passed.
The scene they had expected, of the body turning to ashes and scattering in the wind, still hadn't materialized.
All the Dragon Country viewers who had closed their eyes sensed the eerie silence.
Trembling, they slowly opened their eyes.
Then, they witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lives.
On the center of the sports field.
The School Belle Anomaly, Xia Yao, who had been walking with death's stride, about to reap Chu He's life.
Her body had stopped abruptly, less than three meters away from Chu He.
For the first time, her exquisitely beautiful face showed emotion.
Bewilderment.
Confusion.
She tilted her head slightly, her dead, abyss-like eyes that seemed to swallow all light, fixed unblinkingly on Chu He's puckered lips.
Like a child seeing a novel toy for the first time, naive and full of questions.
Immediately after.
Under the horrified gaze of billions of people across 192 countries worldwide.
An even more unbelievable scene unfolded.
Xia Yao's lips, originally tightly pursed and a cold, pale white, began to pout upwards uncontrollably.
Her movements were stiff, like a marionette mimicking a human.
The next moment!
Without giving anyone time to think!
An irresistible, forceful power slammed their bodies towards each other!
Chu He felt a massive force from behind, his body propelled forward uncontrollably, the beautiful face in his vision rapidly expanding!
"Pop!"
A soft sound.
It clearly transmitted through the broadcast equipment to every corner of the world.
Cold, soft, with a hint of strawberry sweetness.
This was Chu He's only thought.
The sensation wasn't like the lips of a living person, more like an old popsicle radiating bone-chilling cold.
Chu He's lips.
And the lips of the SSS-Class School Belle Anomaly.
Met perfectly, sealing together.
The world fell silent.
Time stopped.
Space solidified.
All the bullet comments in every live stream instantly vanished, leaving them utterly clean.
Everyone who had been laughing wildly, commentating, sighing, or despairing fell silent.
Their mouths hung open unconsciously, their eyes widened like brass bells, their minds went blank, completely crashing.
The scene seemed to freeze.
But the real storm was just beginning to brew.
Then, that terrifying existence, hailed as the "embodiment of rules," the "walking kill order."
Xia Yao, who could completely erase a life from the conceptual level with just three seconds of eye contact.
On her jade-like, cold, smooth cheeks.
A breathtaking blush suddenly erupted without warning!
That red spread madly from her cheeks to her small, delicate earlobes at a visible speed.
Then down to her slender, fair neck, like a swan's.
It was as if the finest artist had used a stroke of cinnabar to inject the soul and warmth of "humanity" into this exquisite ice sculpture!
This kiss seemed to unlock something sealed deep within her soul for thousands of years.
Her eyes, which could swallow light and were filled with deathly stillness, trembled violently. Her long, delicate eyelashes stirred like startled butterfly wings, creating a tiny storm.
The abyssal emptiness was completely shattered by this kiss!
Deep within her eyes, a faint light of confusion flickered first, then was replaced by incomprehensible bewilderment. Immediately after, the light began to flash intensely, as if processing a massive amount of information.
Finally, all the light was completely submerged by an overwhelming, thick shyness that could melt even herself!
After the extreme shyness came a more primal, more instinctive possessiveness, which began to sprout.
Their lips parted.
Chu He felt a cool, soft sensation withdraw, and a faint, lingering cold fragrance still hung in the air.
Xia Yao recoiled half a step as if electrocuted.
She lowered her head deeply, her smooth, black hair cascading down like a waterfall, covering most of her flushed cheeks, making her expression unreadable.
But everyone could clearly see.
The small hands that tightly gripped the hem of her school uniform skirt.
Were trembling violently.
This small action completely exposed the extreme turmoil within her heart, like a surging tsunami!
On the sports field, the other players who had narrowly escaped death held their breath, the silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.
"What... what is this situation? Cheating! He must have cheated!"
"Where are the rules? The rule about 'no eye contact for more than three seconds'? Why isn't he dead?"
"Are we facing the same SSS-Class Anomaly? Why did he break the rules and not only survive, but... but kiss her?!"
Just as everyone was filled with shock and uncertainty, Xia Yao slowly raised her head.
Her eyes, still bearing a trace of breathtaking crimson and thick shyness, coldly swept across the entire field.
Wherever her gaze landed, all the players fell silent, fearfully lowering their heads, afraid of becoming the first victim of her emotional fluctuation.
Until they figured things out, no one dared to gamble their lives again!
Finally, Xia Yao's gaze returned to Chu He.
The shyness in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by an unprecedented heat, dominance, and an overwhelming possessiveness.
She parted her cherry lips.
A hoarse, hesitant voice echoed in everyone's ears, in the depths of everyone's soul.
She seemed not to have spoken for a very, very long time, her words stumbling.
"You..."
"...are mine."
