"Hey... Li Yan, where are you taking me?"
Having just seen Li Yan's demeanor, Huang Ying had already guessed that he wanted to help her out. Feeling awkward and not knowing what to say, she let him lead her out without resistance. But now, as they were walking and Li Yan neither spoke nor let go of her hand, she became a bit anxious.
"Aren't you going to eat? I need to eat too, so let's do it together." Li Yan led her to a bus stop while holding her hand.
Huang Ying awkwardly looked down, avoiding his gaze, and quietly said, "You don't need to pretend anymore, you can let go of my hand now."
"No way, if I let go of your hand, you'll pretend not to know me and run off. There are thousands of people on the beach; how can I feel at ease if another pervert wants to bother you?" Li Yan loosened his grip slightly, worried about hurting her, admiring her tanned yet delicate hand.
