Li Wuting’s gaze remained fixed on the two hands clasped tightly together, his lips moving as if he wanted to speak but then deciding against it.rAUCdvselKFGYAROVrRxKEIMGviVDd

MZrwfeujDQhZJuQBefore Li Wuting could speak, De Quan was about to turn his head to look, but then he felt a warm, ticklish sensation brush over the back of his hand. A deep voice, muffled by Li Wuting’s hand, spoke softly, shaking his eardrums:MQcjWRUlFZyczWJKSLVlnguiiCQuRi
