"Did I hear it wrong?" Lin Xiangyu was full of doubts. He scratched his head, closed the door and went back to the room.
On the other side, Pei Yilin ran back to her room in a panic, leaning against the door, her heart beating so fast as if it was about to burst through her chest. The "thump thump" sound was particularly clear in the silent room, like a rapid war drum.
She was determined to apologize, but her plan was affected because she failed to open the door successfully in one try.
Hearing Lin Xiangyu's approaching footsteps, she ran back in a flash as if her feet were greased.
She covered her chest with both hands, feeling her heart beating violently, and her cheeks felt hot as if they were burned by a raging fire.
"Could it be that I'm really in love with that guy Lin Xiangyu?"
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Pei Yilin's head buzzed as if hit by a sledgehammer. She then fell headfirst onto the bed and covered her head with the quilt, trying to hide her panic and shyness, but her heart was still beating uncontrollably.

Her cheeks grew hotter and hotter, and in her heart she was secretly hoping that the scene would happen again. This thought made her both shy and excited. In the mist, her eyes became blurred and complicated.
While washing her body, she was struggling with her feelings for Lin Xiangyu. Was she in love with him, or was it just a momentary impulse?
She herself couldn't explain it clearly.
At this moment, Pei Yilin suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. Her heart suddenly tightened and her breathing became rapid. Lin Xiangyu's figure involuntarily appeared in her mind and her cheeks became even redder.
She pricked up her ears nervously, trying to figure out whether the footsteps were from Lin Xiangyu, but she could not hear anything clearly except her own violent heartbeat.
