But this matter must not be known to Xiya.
Sorry, Xiya brother.
A strong sense of guilt surged in her heart.
She had sworn to dedicate her whole being to the person before her, yet she had been touched by another man first.
And Xiya had finally sensed something was amiss, speaking seriously, "Tiya, are you okay? Why do you seem so strange tonight?"
Tiya took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Nothing, Xiya brother, nothing happened."
"Then you..."
"Xiya brother, I want to hold your hand."
For some reason, Tiya suddenly mustered the courage, tiptoed slightly, and whispered.
Xiya was the surprised one now.
At the same time, a flicker of joy appeared in his heart.
Although the distance between their hearts was already incredibly close, physical contact was rare, even holding hands was scarce.
All because of that damned Goddess Blessing.
Now that she was taking the initiative to hold hands, it was completely unexpected for him.
