For a moment, Ouyang Xueqing thought that she had heard wrong.
Her mouth gaped open and because of the shock, her tears instantly fell. With pale cheeks, red nose and teary eyes, she looked especially silly and adorable as she stared up at him. He could see his reflection within his eyes as well as the nervousness in his stiff face.
He reached for her hand and the slight touch made Ouyang Xueqing flinch as if she had just been electrocuted. "You—You—You—" For God's sake, she didn't even know what she wanted to say after that one word!
Sluggishly, she could only watch with blank eyes as he held her hand, his five fingers interlaced with hers, fiddling and playing around. The gentle and soothing touch calmed her down but at the same time, her heartbeat started to speed up once again. However, this time, it beat so hard and fast that blood rushed to her head, making her head spin.
Mo Yujian sighed. [I've always wanted to do this.]
