What a good girl. She had been perfectly normal, and now...
Seeing Ye Yan's shy expression, tinged with the guilt of having broken a Taboo, Vier felt even more guilty.
I think I led this girl astray.
And so, the atmosphere had become one where two extremely shy girls were both blushing, wanting to say something but too embarrassed to do so, stealing glances at each other from time to time.

"Maybe I should leave first.
