Through the Physical Link, Cui Que experienced all the emotional changes in Alice's heart.
Her blush was not just from embarrassment or shyness, but also because this intimate exchange of true feelings was truly heart-fluttering.
It was like placing a cup-and-string telephone against one's chest, transmitting the sound of the heartbeat into the other person's ears.
Even though they were at opposite ends of the line, it felt as if the other person had their ear pressed against one's chest, quietly listening to the heartbeat.
They were obviously far apart. There was obviously air between them.
Yet, the distance between their two hearts felt even closer than when hugging.
At that moment, the line connecting the two... became an invisible thread representing "fate."
[It's not that man.]
Alice conveyed her equally complex emotions: [I will never forgive that man... I've seen his photo, and it doesn't match up at all. And there's no such feeling.]
