    She's rocking a plain manicure! Like a solid color, probably keeps her nails short, paints them herself, and it's sends him absolutely feral! hahahaa i love a very unique but realistic kink ;)

    🤣 These guys are dweebs and I love every second of it! I love that the whole team is getting involved to help these poor clueless lovebirds along ❤️ It makes me want to go back and reread the rest of the series.

    Thinking out loud (44%, page 236)

    This book is really making me want to get serious about language learning!

    If you had to make your own word match-pair, what would it be, and what do you think it would/should be used for?

    So far I've thought of 包围 (bāo wèi) / protect. Not sure how well it'd work since 包围 technically means "to surround" or embrace but I imagine pairing it with "protect" could invoke an invisible force field of protection that almost covers you like a dome, but also internally makes you feel at ease in a way like an embrace (maybe even a familial, protective embrace)
