Gu Qili’s lips curved into a smile as she guessed whether he would respond. After a mont, the screen suddenly popped up with an emoji of Tuski fanning himself while streaming tears, with the words "BYEBYE" written on the fan.
Gu Qili couldn’t help but laugh, rolling around in the blanket, never in her dreams expecting Mu Shuoqian to send such a hilariously dramatic emoji.
Thinking of his eternally frosty handso face and then such a goofy Tuski, she found it intensely incongruent. The vision was too beautiful, she dared not look.
Suddenly, the blanket was pulled away from the outside, catching her mid-giggle in the act.
Mu Shuoqian, looming above her, watched her laughing rolled up and innocently asked, "Is that expression really that funny?"
He thought the rabbit was interesting, simple strokes yet rich in expression.
Gu Qili sat up, using her phone as a fan, imitating Tuski’s actions of fanning and pretend crying while saying, "BYE——BYE."
Mu Shuoqian watched her and suddenly burst into laughter, a genuinely joyful sound.
When he laughed, his dark eyes sparkled uniquely, the angles of his lips and jaw like an unfolding rainbow, his eyes squinting into lines, utterly soft.
Seeing him laugh so joyfully for the first ti, Gu Qili was srized, her gaze sticking to him as if glued, unable to be moved.
"Weren’t you fussing about going to sleep?" His forehead was suddenly tapped, and his mood seed really good, his tone was gentle.
Gu Qili imdiately tucked into the blanket, blinking at him, "Aren’t you sleeping?"
"Do you want to stay with you?"
She embarassed herself and pretended to close her eyes, "Then I’m going to sleep, don’t work too late."
After saying this, she felt her tone was overly caring and thought to add sothing else to brush it off, but then felt it was unnecessary.
At that mont, the bed trembled slightly as Mu Shuoqian took off his shoes and lay beside her, naturally wrapping his arms around her waist.
Gu Qili stiffened all over. Although she had fallen asleep in his arms for several nights, his taking the initiative like this still made her a bit nervous.
Her blood boiled for a mont, and then the man behind her murmured faintly, "Let’s just hug for now, I’ll use you as a pillow later tonight anyway."

Gu Qili: "...."
Such a shaless reason declared so openly, doesn’t he blush?
Yet, she did not oppose, docilely letting him hold her. Probably because his embrace was so warm and comforting, Gu Qili soon fell asleep.
Mu Shuoqian did not sleep, instead gazing absentmindedly at the back of her head. Her hair was casually tied, a bit ssy from rolling in the blanket, truly nothing spectacular to look at, yet he was utterly entranced, even lifting a strand of her hair and winding it around his finger.
After playing for a while, he sat up, reached for her phone on the bedside, unlocked it and entered WeChat, then clicked on his own profile picture to send a ssage, tapped on the photo icon, and when screens full of photos appeared, he selected one from a group photo and sent it.
Once he heard his own phone ping with the notification, he lay down again contentedly, closing his eyes to drift off to sleep.
Gu Qili woke up in the middle of the night, turned her head, and under the dim moonlight, she saw sweat on Mu Shuoqian’s forehead and nose, his eyes tightly closed.
She anxiously called out, "Mu Shuoqian, what’s wrong with you?"
Seeing her worried look, Mu Shuoqian pulled her into his embrace, hugging her tightly as if fearing she might suddenly disappear.
