Don't blame yourself

Grandma Pei waved at the two teenagers outside the car. "Have fun, you two. I'll bake you cookies next time, my dear Sangyun."

When the car carrying Grandma Pei left, Fei Chuan finally let out a sigh of relief. His sigh was so loud that Bei Sangyun felt amused.

"Why do you seem more nervous than I am?" she asked.

"...It's nothing. Anyway, don't believe everything Grandma Pei said."

Bei Sangyun raised an eyebrow. "Which part? When you cried after I left when we were little? Or when you looked for me the moment you arrived in the Capital?"

Fei Chuan was speechless. Both statements were true.

Seeing his expression, Bei Sangyun chuckled. "I didn't know you cared so much about me. I thought you hated me back then. It turns out I was your first crush."

Fei Chuan's ears turned red. "...What lies."

Bei Sangyun stopped teasing him and reached out her hand. "No one is around; we can hold hands, right?"
