Good Luck Charm

"Why is it that I always feel so calm when I'm around you, Xiao Ze?" he heard He Juan murmur in a hushed whisper, his tone extremely tender and fond.

Mu Yuze did not know the answer to that, but he certainly was not feeling calm at all right now! It was not like they had not been in such close proximity before. They had hugged a couple of times in the past, but this… this was different. Not quite a hug, yet more intimate nonetheless.

As he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt right now, he could feel the silky sensation of He Juan's hair brushing against his arm, causing goosebumps to prickle on his skin. The weight of He Juan's head on his shoulder reminded him of the bruise he got from the martial arts lesson. It burned and ached for days, and when he thought that it had all healed up, the mere reminder of it was enough to make the spot tingle all over again. This sensation, too, would be one he would reminisce for days.
