Bab 101: Don't speak a word!

"Is it really you?" As Zoey's eyes lit up, she pinched his lean cheek lightly to confirm if he was real. "Oh, so handsome!" She muttered, finding him adorable in his poker face that he maintained despite pinching his cheek. 

Matthew Xi gave her a side eye, slowly withdrawing his hand from the sweaty hands of Richard Sun. Without a word, Matthew Xi fished out his handkerchief and wiped his hand modestly. 

"Stop," He uttered, glancing at Zoey who was still pinching him with a bright grin. 

"How can I stop? I just thought you left... taking my innocent heart with you." As usual, Zoey was unfazed by his domineering demeanor as she continued to hold on to his cheek and humor him with unrelated cheesy lines.. 

For a second, Matthew Xi stared down at her beaming smile before shifting it to the horrified Richard Sun. Just one glance from him and Richard Sun's trembling grew more uncontrollable.
