It was foolish of him. Xiao, the Vigilant Yaksha, to be so allured by you.

He couldn’t quite place his finger on it, these human emotions that surged when you were in his vicinity or merely range of vision. How his heart thumped a little faster, how his cheeks burned whenever you almost catch wind of him.

In a vein attempt, Xiao began to actively avoid you, but he only felt worse when he parted from you. Unfortunately, the remedy to this was seeing you once more.

How puzzling.
