Mu Chen's tone grew more and more agitated, and without realizing it, he placed both hands on Yalan's shoulders. He practically roared the last few sentences. Fortunately, they had walked to a secluded spot with no one else around; otherwise, his outburst would have certainly shocked people.
Yalan stared at Mu Chen in astonishment, and he stared back, equally stunned. He abruptly pulled his hands back and turned away. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It's just... she's so adorable..."
Yalan shook her head. She was actually pleased by his reaction. For a stranger to lose control like that over Xiao Ying'er meant he truly, genuinely liked her.
