Annie leaned on his back and he stood up, carrying her up.
She quickly gathered the jacket so that she could cover him with it as well. The jacket was big enough to wrap in front of him.
“Button it up!” she said quickly.
Ye Sijue looked down. It would take some effort to button it up and she wouldn’t feel comfortable if he did it.
A thought auddenly came to him. He tried buttoning the jacket but couldn’t.
“Lean closer to me,” he said softly.
“Okay.” Annie nodded obediently. She was only worried about him getting sicker so she hugged him tightly, pressing herself against him.
Ye Sijue buttoned up the jacket. Annie hadn’t yet caught onto the fact that her chest was against Ye Sijue’s back.
“Do you feel warmer now?” Annie laid against his back, her lips almost touching his ear.
Her soft, sweet voice roused Ye Sijue.
“Mm, yeah,” he replied.
Without anyone else there, it was especially quiet aside from the rustling of leaves.
And the sound of her heart beating as she leaned on his back.
Badump, badump, badump…
After walking for a while, Ye Sijue suddenly stopped. He turned his head slightly. “Are you okay?”
“Ah? What’s the matter? I’m fine.” Annie looked puzzled.
“Why is your heart beating so fast then?” Ye Sijue asked.
Annie’s blushed slightly.
She stuttered as she tried to gloss over it, “I-it beats by itself. It’s not like I can control it…”
“It’s affecting me,” Ye Sijue suddenly said in a serious manner.
“How does it affect you?” Annie didn’t understand him.
However, Ye Sijue made no reply.
Annie was intrigued. She wanted to hear his answer, so she kept waiting.
After waiting for a while, it seemed to her that he had forgotten about the question, so she tapped him, and pressed him for the answer, “Tell me. How does it affect you?”
Why would he pique her curiosity but not answer her?
Ye Sijue said in a deep voice, “I’d better not say it because you won’t like the answer.”
“Why not? Tell me, quickly.”
“I want to kiss you.”
Those words were suddenly blurted out.
Annie was stunned. She wondered if she had misheard him. She asked obtusely, “W-what did you just say…”
“I said that I want to kiss you,” Ye Sijue repeated himself. Though his voice was hoarse, it was still magnetic. The last few words that came from his mouth were especially stirring.
“You…” Annie’s face was tinged with red as she didn’t know how to respond.
After confirming what he said earlier, her heart beat even faster.
“You wanna know why?” Ye Sijue seemed to know what she was thinking.
“Why…” She instinctively repeated what he said before realizing that it was weird so she played dumb. “No. I wasn’t going to ask you that.”
What was up with his logic? Why did he want to kiss her after hearing her heartbeat?
Ye Sijue said, “Because when I listen to your heartbeat…”
“I don’t want to hear it! Stop telling me, alright?” Annie interrupted him anxiously, afraid of what he might say.
