Vsa continued to hold Jesee in his arms.Looking at Jesee's beautiful face,his heart began to race,and his blood circulated faster.
He wished time could freeze at this moment.
After a short while,Jesee began to wake up.She appeared like a sprite lifted from the moonlight,her lashes glistening with night dew,her brows lazily creasing over her beauty spot,her breath carrying the afterglow of night-blooming jasmine,and her entire being enveloped in a gauzy coldness.
Jesee was about to wake up.
"Oops,I fell asleep,"Jesee said in surprise.She suddenly realized there was a hand on her shoulder.I remember I only held his hand!She thought.This rascal,he wouldn't have taken the opportunity to do something while I was asleep,would he?The more she thought,the more embarrassing scenarios flashed through her mind,her face growing redder and redder,as if steam were rising from the top of her head.
What's gotten into her?Vsa was utterly confused.Oh my gosh,my hand is still on her shoulder.As he thought this,his hand moved unconsciously.
At that moment,the system's voice sounded in his mind,"Please choose one of the three options."
[1:Lower your head and whisper in her ear,"You weren't thinking something inappropriate,were you?"]
[2:That's exactly what I was thinking!Hehehe!]
[3:Don't overthink it;I was just holding you."]
What on earth was she thinking?Vsa felt extremely frustrated and confused.It's just impossible for someone to do inappropriate things in public.Besides,she was just asleep,not dead.Wouldn't she feel it?
At this moment,Jesee also seemed to realize something and silently scolded herself:I've been reading those banned novels again.I can't do that anymore;my mind's getting polluted.Stop thinking about it.She focused on the feeling of being held by Vsa,feeling a bit shy.
Her ears seemed to catch something and twitched.She heard,"You weren't thinking something inappropriate,were you?"
Her pupils widened in shock.Jesee was stunned that her thoughts had been guessed.She stood up abruptly and loudly said to Vsa,"How could I?Don't you dare think that way."Her voice was so loud that in the quiet library,it was like a stone thrown into a still pond.The surrounding students began to look over.Jesee felt extremely embarrassed under their gazes and then heard Vsa mutter,"If you're not,why shout so loudly?"
"Let's go,"Jesee said,grabbing Vsa's hand again,which she had just pulled away,and heading toward the exit.
"Wait,we need to put the book back,"Vsa said as he stood up,not forgetting to take the book.Looking at their linked hands,he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.This was the first time a girl had taken his hand proactively.He smiled inwardly,enjoying the softness of her hand.
Hand in hand,Jesee and Vsa returned the book to its original place.As they prepared to leave the library,their hands remained intertwined.Neither mentioned it nor let go,as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Upon exiting the library,night had just fallen.The sky wasn't completely dark yet,still holding onto some remnants of twilight.Vsa knew he should see Jesee back to her dormitory.After all,it wasn't safe for a girl to be out late at night.
"Jesee,it's getting dark.Let me walk you back to your dorm,"Vsa said with a tinge of reluctance.He recognized it as a gentleman's basic courtesy.Of course,if their relationship deepened,that might change.
"Okay,let's go,"Jesee agreed,her initial impulse to release his hand overridden by a sense of reluctance to part.
Under the night sky and streetlights,the two walked hand in hand,their left and right hands intertwined.Together,they strolled down the road.
On the way,with the system's help,Vsa initiated a conversation.The system provided topics of interest to Jesee,such as campus life,celebrity gossip,and various horror movies.
At that moment,Vsa casually brought up a topic about roommates.Jesee eagerly took the lead,elaborately describing her roommates'personalities and quirks with vivid expressions and strong enthusiasm.
In reality,if a girl isn't interested in chatting with you,it's often because you're not discussing topics she cares about.Alternatively,your conversational skills might be too stiff and awkward,causing her annoyance.
Fortunately,Vsa had the system's assistance!With it,not only did his mindset shift significantly,but his conversational skills also improved markedly.Sometimes,even without the system's prompts,Vsa could seamlessly continue the conversation.After all,with the system's hands-on guidance,if he still acted timid and introverted around girls,he'd truly be beyond help.
Thanks to the system,the two discussed everything from campus life and future plans to their roommates,in a free-flowing manner.
In the early stages of most relationships,this is how couples interact.When two people genuinely care for each other,even sitting together in silence can deepen their connection.
As they passed by a lake,the moonlight spilled over the water,reflecting their laughing figures.
[Ding!Jesee's affection for the host increases by 5 points,now at 55.Keep it up!]
Emotions run high in girls at night,and in just a dozen minutes of conversation,Jesee's affection had risen by a full 5 points.
As they approached the dormitory building,their hands tightened.Finally,when the dormitory lights came into view,their fingertips still conveyed warmth.Vsa watched Jesee's figure gradually swallowed by the shadows.Her bracelet's cool touch lingered in his palm.He suddenly recalled an internet saying:When a girl smiles with dimples in front of you,it means she's remembered your body heat.
But actually, what I want to say is that I also remember your body temperature.
Of course, he also condemned himself deep down; how could he think about other women right after saying goodbye! It's all the system's fault for making me a scumbag.
