"Hey, Su Yue, what are you in a daze? Would you like to go shopping with us? Li Qianqian's voice interrupted Su Yue's memories, and at this moment she and Mu Yao were already standing by her side.

Only then did Su Yue come back to her senses and look up at Mu Yao. After a closer look, I found that Mu Yao was much taller than himself. The fair, thin cheeks are slightly sideways, showing a perfect curvature.

Mu Yao was also looking at Su Yue quietly, although there was no expression on his face, there seemed to be a trace of expectation in his eyes.

"Oh, okay, I'll go with you." Su Yue was actually not interested in shopping, but because she thought that she could stay with Mu Yao for a while, she readily agreed.

They drove to an underground shopping mall in the heart of the city. This mall has two basement floors and is very popular among young people. Most of them sell trendy clothes and knick-knacks, and on weekend afternoons, they are even more crowded.

Because the passage in the underground mall was not spacious, and there were many people today, the three of them had to walk back and forth in this shuttling crowd. Li Qianqian walked first, Mu Yao was in the middle, and Su Yue followed behind them.

"Hey, Mu Yao, Su Yue. There are too many people, let's hold hands and walk, it's not easy to get separated. Li Qianqian, who was walking in front, turned around and said, she immediately took Mu Yao's hand with a big grin.

Mu Yao looked back at Su Yue, his eyes were gentle and deep, and then he smiled and took her hand.

Su Yue felt the temperature from Mu Yao's palm, it was very warm and a little damp. She couldn't help but look down at the hand, which was much larger than herself, completely encased her small hand in it.

The slender fingers are slightly curved, the bones are distinct, and they grasp just the right amount of strength, and hold their hands gently. Su Yue quietly looked at Mu Yao's back while walking, only to feel a burst of warmth and peace in her heart.

Suddenly, Su Yue noticed that there seemed to be a small black shadow shaking in front of her, and before she could react, she rushed in her direction.

"Ahh Su Yue couldn't help but scream. It turned out that in the crowd walking opposite, a little boy about five or six years old rushed in her direction, presumably chasing and fighting with other children.

He didn't notice Su Yue, so he hit Su Yue's leg headbutt, and the red and white pleated skirt was about to rise in the wind.

Su Yue didn't have time to dodge, she only felt that if she walked out here, there would be so many people around, and her face would be lost.

At the moment when Su Yue panicked, Mu Yao rushed up with an arrow, he grabbed the little boy with one hand, and Su Yue with the other, and quickly blocked the raised pleated skirt with his body.

The touch between the skin was like a soft sponge, and the warm body temperature wrapped her, and Su Yue's face suddenly turned red.

She didn't know if it was because she was worried about being embarrassed, or because she was suddenly hugged by Mu Yao. But the unusually clear heartbeat of the plopping plop has long proved the doubts in her heart.

"Are you alright?" Mu Yao's soft voice of concern came from his ears, accompanied by the sound of warm and slightly rapid breathing.

"Well, I'm fine, thank you." Su Yue replied in a low voice.

Mu Yao let go of Su Yue as if relieved, turned around and squatted down, touched the little boy's head and asked, "It didn't hurt, did it?" ”

"Well, it's fine, right... I'm sorry. The little boy said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, it's okay, pay attention next time!" Mu Yao smiled and patted him on the back, and the little boy nodded and ran away.

Su Yue was arranging her skirt while thinking back to what had just happened. To her surprise, the brief physical contact just now did not seem to make her feel uncomfortable, but had an indescribable sense of intimacy.

She had never felt this intimacy in any other man. This is a kind of magical energy that is generated by keeping a certain distance and ignoring its inner desires.

Usually a male hug always has a sense of purpose due to gender differences, like the sense of accomplishment that comes from the moment a hunter catches his prey.

The embrace of women, on the other hand, is completely different, it has the breadth of accepting all things like nature, and peace and tranquility are deeply rooted here.

Perhaps the truest need of every human being from the depths of their hearts is this tranquility. And Mu Yao's embrace is closer to the latter, and it has more power to soothe the soul.

"Hey, what just happened? Why did you suddenly let go of your hand, I won't be able to find you two as soon as I turn around! I saw Li Qianqian running over panting.

"Ah, nothing." Su Yue smiled slightly, turned her eyes to look at Mu Yao, and Mu Yao was also looking at her with a smile.

At this moment, it was as if some secret beam of light that was difficult to capture with the naked eye was strung together into countless thin lines between the two people.

"Well, nothing."
