They used to do it side-by-side like this often when they were children.
At that time, Li Caiyi, a big crybaby, often cried herself to sleep. Meng Renshu, who sometimes dropped by her place, would hold her hand and stay with her until she fell asleep.
He was kind and gentle, and she always felt better after she woke up.
It was one of the precious early memories she had of him.
She remembered she would sometimes pretend to sleep, then when Meng Renshu fell asleep beside her, she would open her eyes and admire his beauty from up close.
Meng Renshu didn't like it when people called him pretty or gawked at him, but the young Li Caiyi couldn't resist it. She could only do that when he was asleep.
The gentleness in his eyes right now was the same as back then when he patiently coaxed her to sleep like a beautiful and pure angel.
It happened so long ago that he probably forgot about it, but Li Caiyi remembered it as clear as day.
