Because he cared, he minded, and because he minded, he was confused, this was his true state at the moment.
Perhaps it was the fear of his woman getting angry, even though he knew in his heart she wasn't such a petty person, but seeing her always looking down, he still couldn't be sure.

"Lian Qiao—"
He just couldn't stand the noise of a usually talkative woman now being silent, and couldn't help but reach out to tickle her armpit—
Ha, ha, ha!
This tactic was tried and true. Finally, Nini couldn't hold it in any longer; she began with a muffled giggle and then, under his ceaseless tickling, she laughed so hard, and to deal with the unbearable tickling, she retaliated by headbutting him hard on the forehead.
Bang—
Their foreheads collided, producing a crisp impact sound. Touching the slightly sore spots on their foreheads, they then looked at each other and couldn't help but embrace and laugh out loud.
