Zhang Ailing once said that she was afraid of holding hands.
Because holding hands is a very sad process, as it is inevitably followed by letting go.
When Song Qinghuan read this, her thoughts were quite the opposite of Zhang Ailing's. She enjoyed holding hands because she wasn't afraid to let go, to face and shoulder what came next alone.
Moreover, letting go this time could possibly mean another hand to hold next time.
Without parting, how can there be reunion? Just like with her older brother.
Holding hands is a sign of confidence and strength, while letting go is freedom and soaring.
Other than her family, she never held the hand of any man, for she cherished the quote "To hold your hand, and grow old with you."
But today this man suddenly held her hand. It was so sudden, catching her off guard, making her heart race.
More importantly, though this was their first time holding hands, it didn't feel strange to her.
