Chapter 1195: Chapter 546: Softhearted Deity

???

Yunier, what exactly are you trying to do!!?

Teresa felt her heart was about to leap out of her throat, glaring at her best friend who was about to stir up trouble.

But instead of letting go, Yunier intensified the situation, squeezing their clasped hands more tightly against Herbert’s chest.

The sturdy sensation was conveyed clearly through the thin fabric, mixed with Herbert’s steady heartbeat, like currents of electricity striking Teresa’s already chaotic nerves.

!!!

All the blood in her body seemed to rush to her face, scorching with heat, making it difficult to breathe.

Teresa was almost driven mad by the overwhelming tension.

Let, let go!

Quick, let go!

She silently screamed in her heart, trying her hardest to withdraw her hand, but Yunier’s fingers were like iron pincers, gripping her firmly.

Teresa dared not struggle too hard, fearing that a big movement might wake up the sleeping Herbert, and the scene that would unfold then... ooh, just imagining it almost made her faint.

As a result, Yunier took advantage of Teresa’s reluctance to exert force, stubbornly holding on, and occasionally shaking their tightly held hands up and down.

The Divine Favored Girl wore a mischievous smile, eyes glinting slyly, murmuring softly: "Holding hands~ holding hands~ good friends should hold hands~"

Shake hands~ shake hands~

"You..."

Teresa continuously signaled with her eyes for Yunier to let go, her brows tightly furrowed, her cheeks puffing slightly as if she were holding back her breath.

The more she resisted, the more Yunier was energized, pulling their hands to stick them against Herbert’s chest.

Even moving their hands gradually downward!

No, no way!

Teresa finally surrendered, feeling her ears heating up, her neck bearing a faint blush.

On one hand, she couldn’t outmaneuver Yunier, whose determination was extremely resolute.

On the other hand... Teresa felt that if she didn’t surrender soon, she might end up accidentally shaking hands with little Herbert.

This thought flashed through her mind like lightning, sending a shiver down her spine. Such a thing... that definitely shouldn’t happen!

Though, er, sometimes there might be a hidden curiosity and flutter deep inside, spurred by a mother’s encouragement toward such contact.

But!

For a girl raised in a simple village with zero romantic experiences, this excitement was far too much.

That mustn’t happen!

While inherently attractive, it felt overly stimulating for a pure-hearted girl.

She was genuinely afraid of fainting from excitement.

"Hmm hmm~"

Seeing Teresa give up struggling, Yunier secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slightly relaxing her grip but still holding Teresa’s hand.

She knew Teresa had completely forgotten what happened before, considering herself off the hook this round.

The Divine Favored Girl proudly lifted her cute nose slightly, her chin raised like a boastful little peacock, struggling to suppress laughter, her eyes curved like crescent moons, teasing her innocent friend: "Thought you could be sneaky, but I caught you~"

You dare say!

Teresa weakly glared at her friend, her eyes full of grievance, like a bullied little beast unable to fight back, baring her teeth slightly as she muttered softly:

"I didn’t!"

Saying I didn’t means I didn’t.

Even if I did, it still means I didn’t!

I will deny it no matter what!

"You say you didn’t? Haha, nothing to be shy about~"

Yunier blinked, smirking, "Your hand was trembling earlier, weren’t you nervous? Where do you want to touch?"

Teresa’s cheeks burned hotter, unable to face Yunier anymore, she lowered her head, her gaze landing on Herbert’s garment as she mumbled softly: "You, you stop spouting nonsense! I wasn’t randomly touching, I was just..."

"Just what?"

Yunier lightly shook their clasped hands, very gently, afraid of waking Herbert, her tone carrying jest: "I’m not making it up, you’re just craving Lord Herbert’s body!"

!?

Teresa half-growled defensively, "...You’re the one craving! Also, stop talking nonsense! What if Lord Herbert hears you!"

"Hesitation!"

Yunier skillfully caught the briefest instant Teresa hesitated before retorting, like a hunter sensing its prey, unleashing an unrelenting mental assault: "You hesitated! You’ve got secrets!"

"I don’t have any!"

Precisely hit in the sore spot, Teresa panicked almost immediately, instinctively denying loudly, but realized her volume was too high after speaking, quickly covering her mouth and tensely glancing at Herbert.

Only upon seeing him still asleep did she breathe a sigh of relief, then more flustered, instinctively retaliated without thought: "Truly, truly didn’t... and what about you! You were also pressing my hand against Lord Herbert earlier, you’re just the same!"

!!?

Now it was Yunier’s turn to hesitate in the pursuit, her face instantly flushed as if someone spotted her secret, stammering "Er, me? I, I wouldn’t... cough."

Yeah, why did I do that?

Why would I subconsciously think of moving my hand there?

This is...

"Ha!"

Teresa’s eyes instantly widened, filled with disbelief and an "caught you" expression of satisfaction.
