He was also looking at her wrist, a hint of longing hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Noticing Su Yu's gaze, Ren Qing's movements grew even stiffer. He lowered his eyes, not daring to meet hers, and the flush on his ears deepened. He looked shy.
Shy as he might be, his hands remained firmly around her slender waist, not letting go. There was even a subtle, possessive urge to press her into his embrace.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow but didn't tease him, simply averting her gaze as if she hadn't seen a thing.
Some things required the male to take the initiative.

She'd given him the chance. If he wouldn't take it, there was nothing she could do.
Ren Qing noticed Su Yu look away, and a flicker of disappointment appeared in his eyes, though he didn't let it show on his face.
The day wore on. As evening approached, the scorching temperature dropped slightly, but it still felt hot to Su Yu.
