[ can they do it. it doesn't matter they are handsqueezing back affection week 0 is so cute ]

I think sharing that helped already. Jiao might not want to talk about it yet, and that makes it easier for him.

Maybe keep an eye out and see if someone else seems to act weirdly? If it isn't a one off, there might be signs we missed the first time. I really doubt you'll find anything, but.
