Chapter 33: I Bet This Guy Wouldn't Dare Try Anything Funny

In the quiet room, the only sound was the TICK-TOCK of the wall clock. Jiang Yubai stood frozen in place, feeling as if his brain was about to crash. The sensation of the soft, warm body in his arms was incredibly distinct. The girl had her arms gently wrapped around his neck, her light, shallow breaths landing on the side of his neck. A faint scent of lavender lingered at his nose. His mind spun frantically, taking a long time to process this incredibly simple fact.

He thought, "Did Lin Tingwan... really just hug me?"

To be honest, thanks to Dong Chengze, rumors had already painted Jiang Yubai as having tangled romantic histories with both Zhao Yun and Li Qiuyue. But when it came to his actual experience, it could be summed up in a single sentence. Shamefully enough, even as a high school senior, he had never so much as held a girl's hand.
