"Master, can you hear your disciple's heartbeat?"
Su Yang's voice was gentle and warm, like a clear stream flowing by.
Leaning against Su Yang's chest, listening to his increasingly rapid heartbeat, Xia Lian wanted to say something, but in the end she only nodded slightly, because Su Yang's heartbeat was too fast at this moment.
