The summer after graduating from high school, Tong Dao signed up for Beichuan Zoo's Overnight Adventure.
While exploring the zoo at night, they passed the capybara enclosure. The streetlights were dim, and Tong Dao nearly stumbled. By accident, she took the hand of the person walking ahead of her.
She looked up and saw her crush, Shan Jiayu, standing right in front of her.
Tong Dao had never dared to start a conversation with him before. Her face flushed as she stammered an apology. "S-s-sorry, I didn't m-mean to..."
He only glanced at her, his eyes cool and indifferent, and said, "Oh."
"It's just holding hands. What's the big deal?"
Tong Dao froze at his words. True, a handsome guy like him must have dated countless times. Holding hands was nothing. She was making a fuss over nothing.
After the event, the Beidong group sent out a survey asking how satisfied everyone was.
Tong Dao happened to scroll past Shan Jiayu's response. When she saw what he had written, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Question: What can you find at the zoo?
Shan Jiayu's answer: The girl I like.
Question: What was the best part of your Overnight Adventure at the zoo?
Shan Jiayu's answer: Oh, how did you know she took my hand first?
Question: Finally, leave a message for the little animals! We'll be sure to pass it along!
Shan Jiayu's answer: So cute, so cute, so cute. Xiao Dao is really so cute...
Tong Dao: ... O.O?
