章節 88: In his bed

A ray of sunlight falls on his face, making his eyes squint. Slowly he opens his eyes, groaning, he looks at his side. Finding Shi Lian snuggled by his side, he smiles. With ease, he removes his arm which she used as her pillow, and lifts his head with the support of his elbow. She squirms, her brows knitting together with his movement but she is still asleep. He watches her, focusing on every part of hers. Her hair is scattering all over the pillow, her fingers curled up and they look so delicate that one might be cautious to touch. 

He gently caresses her cheeks with his thumb. He recalls the night of their first meeting and how she ran away in the morning, dumping him. he chuckles remembering her being drunk and dominant.
