Zi Han who had been caught walking right back felt speechless. His entire body froze in place his cheeks heating up like he had directly chewed on raw chilies.
"I...," he said before pausing and rethinking his response. He was about to deny leaving him behind but he had indeed walked away so.
He decided to tell him that he was going back to get him but the words that actually came out of his mouth were, "She was scared and... she seemed reluctant to stay alone. She much preferred yo-."
Zi Han couldn't even finish his words because Yi Chen pressed his index finger to his lips stopping him from speaking.
Zi Han couldn't see Yi Chen's face clearly in the dark but that only heightened his senses. This meant his entire body was more sensitive to Yi Chen's movements and the tension around them.
