章 196: Chapter 196: How could it not hurt? _1

Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhu felt too embarrassed to be coy anymore.

After freshening up in the bathroom and changing into a sleep gown, she took off her shoes and got into bed.

As soon as she lay down, Jiang Yuzhu's heart inexplicably beat faster. Closing her eyes, she feigned sleep to hide her awkwardness.

Pei Jingchuan had hurt his foot; he slightly tilted his upper body and rested his head on one hand, silently watching Jiang Yuzhu.

The room's lights were off, leaving only the bedside lamp on. Although the room was dim, he could still see Jiang Yuzhu's long eyelashes casting a shadow on her face, her skin like a baby's - soft and tender. He reached out his other hand, wanting to touch her face, but stopped midway.

Jiang Yuzhu was a light sleeper, and he was worried about waking her.

After tucking Jiang Yuzhu in, Pei Jingchuan slowly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Only when the rustling noises by her side stopped did Jiang Yuzhu open her eyes.
