Ling Chuxia’s hand, as if beyond her control, reached out, but halfway through, her hand abruptly paused, and she suddenly ca to her senses.
Shi Che was still nearby. It was not the right mont to take it; she absolutely couldn’t allow Shi Che to sense anything inappropriate. This ti, she wouldn’t permit herself to fail again.
Ling Chuxia slowly retracted her hand, little by little, and then clenched it tightly.
Shi Che reached out to the bedside table, pulled out a few wet tissues, and quickly cleaned them both up before lying down, pulling Ling Chuxia into his embrace, turning off the light, and then closing his eyes while holding her.
The bedroom gradually quieted down, and Ling Chuxia curled up in Shi Che’s arms, being possibly burdened with secrets, she couldn’t help but breathe cautiously.
Having been through a passionate encounter, she was actually exhausted, but she had to stay alert. Whenever she felt sleepy, she would quietly pinch her thigh to keep the pain to help her stay awake.
Ti ticked away, and Ling Chuxia slowly felt Shi Che’s breathing beco even and slow. Guessing that he must be sound asleep, Ling Chuxia slightly turned her body to look at his handso face.
Shi Che, sleeping peacefully, had shed the indifferent deanor he had when awake; at this mont, he seed utterly harmless, just like the noble and graceful young master of the Shi Family back then.
As Ling Chuxia watched, she couldn’t help but drift off until a cool breeze blew in from outside, fluttering the gauze curtains, and Ling Chuxia abruptly ca back to her senses.
What was she doing?
At such a ti, she could still space out!
Ling Chuxia silently rebuked herself, took a deep breath, then her gaze slid down to Shi Che’s arm resting on her waist. She slowly extended her hand, very lightly touching his arm, then began to lift his arm with the intention of moving it away.
However, she had barely lifted it half a ter when Shi Che’s arm suddenly tensed, pressing back down.
This movent sent Ling Chuxia’s heart racing; she quickly closed her eyes, laid her hands flat, and pretended to be asleep. At first, she thought Shi Che had awakened, but after waiting with her eyes closed for quite so ti and not noticing any other movent from him, she opened her eyes a sliver, peering to the side.
Shi Che’s eyes were still closed, and even the rhythm of his breathing hadn’t changed in the slightest.
He hadn’t woken up... Ling Chuxia’s heart, which had been suspended in fear, suddenly fell back into place, nearly scaring her to death.
Ling Chuxia gently exhaled, bit her lower lip, and once again gathered energy. She grasped Shi Che’s arm and slowly lifted it.
Her movents were extrely delicate and slow, like walking on a tightrope, fearing that one misstep would send her tumbling down. The re few minutes felt like an eternity, with perspiration forming on her forehead.
Finally, Shi Che’s hand was moved aside, placed next to her, and Ling Chuxia, in an exceedingly slow motion, turned away from his embrace, preparing to move further away and then sit up.
Just as she had successfully rolled out of Shi Che’s arms and was about to sit up, Shi Che’s hand, which had been resting aside, suddenly reached out and felt the spot where she had been sleeping. He touched it a few tis, seemingly not finding anything, his brows slightly knitted together, his thick eyelashes trembling slightly, as if he was about to wake up.
