Chapter 40: "Brother, Did You Kiss Jiang Xin?

"You..."

Chen Ye looked at those slender, pale hands. Feeling the warmth from where they touched, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He was sure Jiang Xin hadn't been this proactive in her entire previous life, no matter who she was dealing with. It was supposed to be him learning how to "confess his love," so how did it seem like she was the first to grasp the concept? After all, this was only their second meeting.

"This is only our second time meeting. Why did I just grab him like that?!" she panicked.

Feeling the heat from her fingertips, Jiang Xin stiffened. She felt like a boiling steam engine, frantically blowing white steam from both sides of her head like a cartoon character, complete with a TOOT TOOT whistle. She wanted to pull her hand back, but her body wouldn't obey. No matter how loudly she screamed in her head or how hard she willed her muscles to work, her fingers felt glued to Chen Ye's hand, unable to move an inch.
