Caught off guard as she was drawn into a warm embrace, Xie Mi froze for a brief two seconds.
Shen Yeqing held her gently, yet with restrained strength.
Only after holding her gently like that for a few seconds did he slowly let go, looking at her with a smile playing on his lips.
"Teacher Xie, do you understand what I mean?"
How could she not understand?
Her racing heartbeat had yet to settle. A faint curve that the camera could barely catch rose at the corners of Xie Mi's mouth too, and she stood on tiptoe to throw her arms firmly around Shen Yeqing.
Shen Yeqing immediately lost all control of his smile. A pleasant laugh escaped his faintly trembling chest, his delight clear even through the screen.
[Aaaaaah, this is so sweet!]
[Old Shen's task was to get Old Xie to hug him of her own accord for five seconds, and Old Xie got it right away. Does anyone understand that exchange of looks? The sweetness is killing me!]
[Isn't the best part Old Shen's uncontrollable smile when Old Xie hugged him? Could you be any more obvious!!]
[Another super-sweet iconic moment for Xie Yeqing Kills the Donkey.]
After completing the task, Xie Mi felt thoroughly refreshed, and even her steps grew irrepressibly light.
Qiu Chengye beside her was the exact opposite. He stared in Liu Woxing's direction, his face full of resentment, clearly not having given up yet.
Seizing an opportunity, he sidled up to her again.
"Liu..."
"I don't like it."
This time, Liu Woxing had learned to answer before he could finish. Her tone left no room for doubt as she told him, "Mr. Qiu, I don't like anything you've asked about, and I like your task even less. Please stop asking."
Qiu Chengye: "?"
