Xiaoshi nodded immediately, heat creeping up her cheeks from the feeling of her hand in his. His palm was warm and covered hers entirely, with his fingers securing the back of her hand and gently rubbing against it. "Uh, yes."
He peeked at her, intrigued by her response. "Did you hear what I said?"
She thought about his question and tried to remember what he had asked after holding her hand. All she knew was that it was a question, but her heart was beating so fast that she didn't catch any of the words. She shook her head in embarrassment. "No."
He chuckled softly. From her reaction, he had already guessed that the question had evaporated into thin air.
He repeated the question, but before she could answer, his fingers gently ran up her wrist and made her heart skip a few more beats.
