In the darkness, a ghostly voice by his ear brought him back to his senses.
He hesitated for a moment, hastily shifting his gaze away.

Trying to probe into Sakuragi Hitomi's thoughts with the mind reading technique was as tense as the moment before revealing one's hand in a game of poker.
Admittedly, you might say: Isn't it possible to win or lose after the reveal?
So how can it be deemed not a good thing?
But what Yan Huan meant was:
You shouldn't have sat at that gambling table to gamble at all!!
He took a deep breath, similarly trying very hard to ease the tension he felt when Sakuragi Hitomi was by his side.
But her body warmth, her scent, she was right there by his feet, sharing the sea water that bathed their feet, all accentuating her presence.
