Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Ziek trailed after Bing Shi's departing figure, his curiosity piqued. "I only want a hug from you," he admitted, a genuine desire underlying his words.
"Why a hug specifically? Why not something else?" Bing Shi's curiosity prompted her to question.
As the animated gif continued to loop on his phone's screen, Ziek's gaze remained fixed, "I have to start small before going big," he explained, a playful hint in his voice.
"What's your big?" Bing Shi's chuckles danced in the air.
A wistful smile tugged at the corners of Ziek's lips as he contemplated his response. "I'll tell you for a hug," he proposed, his grip on the phone tightening.
"That would be considered cheating." Bing Shi swore to God. If this was not the reincarnation of Xuan Mu, she didn't know what was.
