Shen Lingfeng turned off the computer after she left.

The impulse from before slightly dissipated.

He thought of the woman who believed he didn’t love her and was on her period at that crucial moment, feeling quite vexed.

Upon leaving the study, Shen Lingfeng discovered she had locked his bedroom door.

Such a silly and adorable act; he didn’t know what to say.

He quickly found the key and opened the door.

This was his house, of course, he had the keys to every room. Could it really be locked?

The room was dimly lit, and on the bed, her small body was deeply buried under the covers, revealing a face the size of a palm, with a serene and sweet sleeping expression.

The blanket was half-covered and half-hugged by her.

A slender arm was exposed, milky white smoothness akin to cream.

She seemed incredibly insecure, as if she couldn’t sleep without holding onto something.

Shen Lingfeng tugged at his clothes and pulled away the blanket she was hugging.

Silly girl, if she needed to hug something to sleep well, she might as well hug him.

"Mmm..."

Gu Ziyou murmured softly, not waking up.

Even when the item she was holding got swapped, she remained asleep.

She slept deeply, making up for the forty-eight hours of lost sleep.

Shen Lingfeng glanced at the woman now held in his arms, feeling somewhat satisfied.

His fingers gently brushed over her slightly swollen eyes.

Even now, recalling the discomfort and even despair seen in her eyes made him feel a sharp pang.

It turned out to be because of a misunderstanding of him. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He held her hand and gently kissed it near his lips.

How could he not love her?

How could that be possible?

Gu Ziyou had a particularly good sleep.

She just overcompensated a bit, and when she woke up, she only knew that it certainly wasn’t early.

Because the curtains in the room were left open, the dazzling sunlight poured in, indicating it wasn’t noon but probably after ten.

Her eyes suddenly widened slightly.

At this moment, she was lying in an embrace she had thought about for a long time.

And her hands were holding him tightly, almost burying her entire self into his arms.

Gu Ziyou lifted her head, and as she emerged, her lips brushed against his chin.

"Shen Lingfeng, when did you come in?" Gu Ziyou asked softly.

She realized she didn’t get a response, and upon looking closely, he was completely asleep.

Ha, even waking up later than her.

She, too, hadn’t slept the night before last.

Upon waking and seeing him like this, Gu Ziyou suddenly didn’t feel sleepy at all.

The arms hugging that body were freed, and her fingers gently traced his face.

He hasn’t shaved in two days, right?

The stubble was really...

Gu Ziyou’s fingers continued to slowly move up, playfully outlining his facial features, before gradually moving downward.

When pointing to his Adam’s apple, she felt it roll forcefully.

"Ah, you’re awake..."

Shen Lingfeng lowered his head, silencing the woman who was playing with his face with a kiss.

"Shen Lingfeng, stop it." Gu Ziyou’s body, held down, slowly turned, and she was directly pressed under him.

His kiss was focused and intense, leaving her no time to voice any complaints.

Whenever she tried to speak, he would seal her lips once more.

Gu Ziyou eventually couldn’t take it anymore, flailing her hand to block him, urgently saying, "Shen Lingfeng, what’s wrong with you? Can you let me breathe!"

He stared at the flushed face beneath him, "Nothing’s wrong. I just need to show a bit of action to prove whether or not I love you."
