"You're finally back. I was wondering if you weren't coming home for dinner."
"Wenwen, you're home. Of course, I have to join you for dinner." Zhou Henyang clasped Su Wen's hand, squeezing it as if he were reluctant to let go. "How can I be at ease leaving you to have dinner with just your sisters?"
"It hurts... Be gentle," Su Wen hissed through gritted teeth, a frown replacing her joy.
Was it just her, or was the male protagonist getting weirder and weirder? Even if they were only pretending to be a good couple, there was no need to put so much effort into the act!
"Am I hurting you?" Zhou Hengyang teased.
"Yes. Stop squeezing my hand so much."
Zhou Hengyang held Su Wen's hand and pressed it against his chest, where his heart was. With her hand against his chest, Su Wen could feel Zhou Hengyang's strong heartbeat, his warm breath tickling her nose with each exhale.
Su Wen froze.
