Li Xueyue woke up to the sunlight pouring in through the windows. Her vision was still blurry as she scooted closer to the warmth beside her. She let out a contented sigh and hugged him tighter, not seeing the amused smile on his face.
Li Xueyue felt a sense of tranquility unlike any other. It was rare for her to wake up feeling well-rested. But that meant yesterday must've taken a toll on her, for she had the best sleep of her life.
When the arm around her waist pulled her closer, Li Xueyue realized he was awake. She attempted to prop herself up on her elbows, but it trembled and gave out from under her. She didn't expect her whole body to be so sore.
"Good morning?" she mumbled. He caressed her cheek.
Li Xueyue leaned into his gentle touch as his thumb stroked her skin.
"It's a very good morning," he reassured her.
