Smitten by the Devil (2)

Liu Jinfei was a bit startled by it. Had Shen Lingqing dozed off from exhaustion? 

The small window in the kitchen finally allowed some light to stream inside once the dark cloud passed the moon. With the soft glow of the moonlight on Shen Lingqing's face, Liu Jinfei found her asleep, not budging from her seat. 

Up close, he noticed how smooth and fair her skin was. No, she was not pale, as that was not good for a person; Shen Lingqing had a healthy glow, after all. Her thick eyelashes touched the smooth skin of her slightly flushed cheeks while she exhaled a warm breath from her slightly parted lips. 

Liu Jinfei didn't have the heart to disturb her, but if Shen Lingqing wasn't bothered at all with their sudden situation, he supposed that she trusted Qiao Lian that much. He checked the time on his wristwatch and saw that it was already past quarter to one in the morning.
