The next day, early morning.

As dawn broke, Feng Jinglei furrowed her brow in discomfort, feeling an intense soreness throughout her body as if it had been crushed.

In discomfort she furrowed her brow, and upon opening her eyes, she was greeted by a solid, muscular chest.

She froze instinctively, then memories of last night’s events replayed in her mind like fragmented scenes from a film.

She looked up and was met with a finely sculpted face, deep features, peacefully asleep.

Recognizing Qin Feimo, Feng Jinglei found her heart hard to calm.

Now, even the last bit of her dignity was lost.

She moved slightly, trying to get out of bed without waking him. But as soon as she moved, she realized she was resting in the crook of his arm...

Startled, she looked at his arm, wondering if she had slept like this all night.

As she moved again, her body felt even more sore, the pain causing her brow to furrow tightly.

The movement also roused Qin Feimo from his sleep, as he slowly opened his eyes.

Knowing that her movement might have been too loud, she instinctively glanced over to see if he had woken up, only to meet his gaze.

Her expression froze; waking up in his arms should have felt intimate and heart-fluttering, but all Feng Jinglei felt was tension and anxiety.

The two stared at each other for about five seconds, before Feng Jinglei came to her senses, reaching out to push away from him, only to cause a sharp pain throughout her body as if she had fallen apart.

"Ugh!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

She furrowed her brow in discomfort, unable to comprehend why her body ached so severely.

Seeing her in such discomfort, Qin Feimo quickly warned, "Don’t move around, you’re still injured."

Fully awake, he intended to sit up from the bed.

Upon Qin Feimo’s warning, Feng Jinglei realized there was more than just soreness; some parts rubbed painfully against the cotton sheets.

She instinctively lifted the bedding to find out where she was injured, only to discover that beneath the covers she was...

She hastily wrapped herself tightly again, looking up at the man before her in panic.

She knew what had happened last night, but... facing him completely conscious and bare, she couldn’t handle it.

Her gaze made Qin Feimo furrow his brow slightly without showing anything.

Sure enough, the effects of the drug, she was unwilling to accept the truth when fully awake.

With a somewhat stern expression, Qin Feimo tossed the covers aside and got out of bed.

As he got out of bed, Feng Jinglei instinctively glanced over, her face flushing at the sight of his lean naked torso, making her quickly avert her gaze.

After a while, once Qin Feimo finished washing up and changed into a simple, comfortable cotton loungewear, leaving the bedroom, Feng Jinglei wrapped in a thin quilt and got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened a crack, wanting to see if Qin Feimo might return.

She needed to get dressed, and naturally didn’t want him to see this scene.

Although last night he had already seen her completely.

Through the crack in the door, she saw Qin Feimo pour a cup of water and sit on the sofa, reading the newspaper while drinking, seemingly aware she wanted to change, giving her space.

Confirming that he likely wouldn’t return immediately, Feng Jinglei quickly turned around, intending to get dressed.

Turning around, she realized her suitcase wasn’t there...

She remembered arriving yesterday; it seemed to be in the living room?
