Ling Chuxia gradually drifted into sleep when Shi Che’s internal struggle reached its breaking point. He clenched his hands forcefully and stared deeply at her back, swallowing hard, he decided not to suppress his own desires. Abruptly sitting up, he stretched out his long arm, directly draping it over Ling Chuxia’s shoulder. Then, applying a gentle force, he turned her body around. However, just as he was about to press down, his body involuntarily halted.
Ling Chuxia did not know when she had fallen asleep. She was sleeping peacefully, with a serene expression on her face and a slight upturn at the corners of her lips, as if she was having a pleasant dream. Her face no longer bore the respectful, deaning look she showed when facing him, nor the indifference she displayed no matter what he did.
Perhaps because his hand was pressing on her shoulder, she seed uncomfortable. Her delicate eyebrows knit together, her red lips parted slightly, and she murmured a fuzzy sound, seemingly a expression of dissatisfaction.
Shi Che’s hand unconsciously released her shoulder, and even the restlessness that filled his heart seed to dissipate as he watched her peacefull sleep. The mysterious agitation was as though it was being soothed by a gentle hand, little by little, until he was utterly at peace.
He slowly lay back down, this ti beside Ling Chuxia. There was no longer such a great distance between them; his arm was next to hers. With his face turned to the side, her striking features were just inches away—so close, he could almost count each long, thick lash.
It had been a long ti since they had lain so closely together. Sotis, no matter how intimate they were, they seed close at hand and yet worlds apart. Now, it was only when she was asleep that he could rightfully sleep by her side, this close to her.
As he gazed at her, sothing roiled in the depths of his dark pupils, and his vision gradually blurred.
Shi Che rembered the first day Ling Chuxia arrived at the Shi Family ho. She had mocked him rcilessly, and he had not been able to sleep that night, tossing and turning while thinking about her dazzling smile.
At that ti, he felt a hidden resentnt. In this household of strict rules, everyone behaved with rigid decorum, their faces nearly numb, no one would smile so radiantly in this almost suffocating ho.
He even maliciously thought that she was mischievous now, still willing to make faces and mock him. Just wait, once she was fully integrated into the Shi Family, she would quickly beco as orderly and puppet-like as the rest, a string-pulled marionette under her mother’s control, just like him in this stifling ho.
However, reality struck him hard, like a sledgehamr to the heart.
Half a year after Ling Chuxia and Ling Yun Shu entered the Shi Family ho, Ling Yun Shu began to change gradually, yet Ling Chuxia remained as unrestrained as ever, completely resistant to discipline.
Shi Che pursed his lips, inwardly stubborn, thinking it was just half a year, way too early to tell.
Then a year passed. Ling Yun Shu had been trained to be compliant, but Ling Chuxia was still the sa as when she first arrived, full of laughter and mischief, causing headaches for all her teachers.
Shi Che’s pride was still wounded, feeling that one year wasn’t enough to prove anything.
