Lin Xileng sat stiffly in place, daring not to move or to look at him, and could only silently pray that he wouldn't hear her heartbeat.
"What's that sound?"
Startled, Lin Xileng blurted out without thinking, "It's not the sound of my heartbeat!"
Pausing, Han Zishi suddenly burst out laughing, "Little Xixi, you've become as silly as Yingying."
"I'll keep my distance from her from now on." Her face burning even hotter, Lin Xileng was extremely annoyed with herself.
How could she be so stupid? What did she mean by saying it wasn't the sound of her heartbeat?
"Little Xixi, are you feeling shy?" With his hands planted beside her, Han Zishi leaned in close, finding it amusing to see her face turn beet red.
As a child, Lin Xileng had been very clingy to him, always following Yingying around, calling him 'brother' at every chance.
But at some point, Lin Xileng suddenly stopped calling him brother.
