In the early morning, faint light slipped through the curtains.
The person nestled in his arms shifted slightly, and Chu You immediately opened his eyes to the sight of Nian Yuyu's sleeping face.
She was tucked into his embrace, quiet and well-behaved.
When they first started sharing a bed, Nian Yuyu always complained that she couldn't sleep with him holding her, so he'd wait until she was asleep to pull her into his arms.
Eventually, she had gotten used to it, consciously snuggling into his embrace as soon as she got into bed, and could then sleep peacefully through the night next to him.
A smile curved Chu You's lips as he gazed down at Nian Yuyu for a while before gently kissing her forehead.
It wasn't time for her to get up yet, so he carefully lifted the quilt and tiptoed out of the bedroom.
By the time Nian Yuyu awoke naturally, the off-white curtains had turned a cream color under the sunlight.
