After hearing this question, Molly laughed at herself subconsciously without answering the question.
Brian suddenly turned the steering wheel and pulled over. Then he slightly turned his body and stared at Molly, as if his sharp falcon eyes could see through her.
Being stared by Brian, Molly felt goosebumps all over her body. She leaned towards the car door unconsciously, compressed her lips and asked weakly, "What...what are you doing?"
Feeling uncomfortable at the sight of the frightened Molly, Brian couldn't bring himself to tell her that Sharon has died. In the first place, it wasn't appropriate to tell her with her current condition. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine what would happen. He was afraid that he would not be able to control the situation well and worse, hurt Molly even more.
Brian silently frowned. He slowly moved towards her, while Molly leaned further away. Seeing her reactions, he stopped and said slowly, "Since you don't want to go back, where do you want to go?" The words he uttered sounded teasingly for Molly.
Having no clue of what was going on, Molly could only let the words, "I…" Extremely stressed to be stared at by Brian, she crossed her hands tightly and swallowed her saliva several times before saying, "I…I… Could you accompany me for a walk?" Molly finally found some words to say. "I just want to take a walk and relax. Maybe you want to accompany me, perhaps," she added defensively.
Looking at the slightly shining eyes of Molly, Brian raised his eyebrows and answered, "Okay! So where do you want to go?" While waiting for her reply, Brian stared lovingly at Molly' nervous face.
Brian's words came in a low and deep tone. His attractive voice was similar to that of a mellow wine, which people would naturally sink. Molly looked at him in a daze, as if her nerves were aroused, and said slowly, "Phoenix Mountain!"
Puzzled, Brian paused for a while and slowly raised his eyebrows. An invisible smile was curled in the corner of his mouth. He stared at Molly with his black eyes and said slowly, "Are you going to Phoenix Mountain for camping?" Brian said teasingly and added, "Really? On such a cold day? I didn't know you could be so romantic, Mol!" Brian couldn't help but tease the embarrassed Molly.
As he finished his words, his face was already inches away from Molly's. The warm air from his breath and the minty scent scorching from his body was all over her face, creating an intimate mood.
Molly, surprised by the actions of Brian, was dumbfounded by how close he was. "What…what…Just what are you thinking?" Molly said in an embarrassed tone while trying to move away. Despite not being able to think clearly from her embarrassing situation, Molly suddenly realized that Phoenix Mountain was actually a popular spot in A City for lovers to go camping. This explained Brian's actions.
