Thump thump thump!
Our two hearts were pounding fiercely.
The sweltering summer night had us sweating profusely.
"Yufen?"
Auntie Wang's voice drifted over from up ahead, and with a glance, I saw her walking toward us, holding a child's hand.
Yufen and I exchanged glances, our hearts pounding even harder, extremely nervous—and I didn't know whether Auntie Wang had seen us just now. If she had...
I felt exceedingly embarrassed, my face even starting to redden.
After all, we were all villagers, neighbors—it was quite awkward. How would Auntie Wang view me and Sister Pan?
Yufen was just as nervous, grabbing her skirt tightly in her hands.
"Yufen, Xiao Yang, why are you walking so slowly? What are you chatting about?"
Auntie Wang approached with a warm smile toward me; there was not the slightest sign of suspicion on her face.
I watched her for a moment and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh! Just talking about work stuff!"
Yufen also relaxed.
