The next morning dawned.
A beam of sunlight, threading through the sparse bamboo leaves, spilled into the room and bathed the disheveled red bridal gown beside the bed.
On the ground beside it, there was a pair of boots, embroidered shoes, a pink bellyband embroidered with lotus flowers, and pure white silk stockings.
In the bed, Qu Zhenzhen's delicate body was wrapped in the bedding, snuggling up to Lu Changsheng like a little kitten, embracing his arm and sleeping in his hold.
Her long legs were also entwined with Lu Changsheng's, with a section of her smooth, jade-like calf peeking out of the blankets, revealing a delicate, elegantly shaped, and graspable little foot.
Lu Changsheng had just awoken and felt himself being tightly embraced, almost to the point of breathlessness.
Opening his eyes, he saw Qu Zhenzhen in his arms.
