Su Li was half asleep when she suddenly heard a noise outside the balcony.

She thought she had misheard and buried her head to continue sleeping, but there were intermittent sounds.

She opened her eyes and saw a dark shadow flash by outside the sunlit door, which almost made her scream.

This is a newly purchased house, will there be any thieves?

Su Li became wary, walked over, picked up a vase, and slowly approached the balcony.

There were faint footsteps, and the other person was approaching the balcony door.

When the dark figure appeared, she gripped the vase tightly and smashed it.

"ah!"

The balcony door was pushed open, and the attack began immediately.

The man quickly dodged, avoiding her attack.

Su Li couldn't stop herself and crashed into the glass wall.

The man stretched out his long arm, grabbed her slender waist, and pulled her back.

"Let me go." She stomped on him hard, then turned and smashed a vase over his head.

"It's me."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, her vase froze in mid-air, almost falling.

In the dim light, the man's blurry, handsome face appeared and disappeared, his features sharp and deep.

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, put down the vase, and said, "You climbed onto my balcony in the middle of the night, were you trying to scare me to death?"

Quan Ye walked over, turned on the nightlight, and lay down on her bed. "I didn't mean to disturb you, but who knew you were such a light sleeper."

"Why did you suddenly come here?" She glanced at the time; it was past one in the morning.

"I came here because I missed you. The security measures here aren't very good. No one noticed me climbing up here."

She's on the second floor, so climbing up is easy for her.

And my grandfather certainly never imagined that he would dare to sneak in in the middle of the night.

Quan Ye quickly took off his clothes, patted the bed, and said, "Come here, it's getting late, go to sleep early."

Are you sure you're just sleeping?

"Otherwise, what else do you want to do?"

Su Li reluctantly believed him this once and went over to lie down.

He turned off the light, turned over, and hugged her.

He could only fall asleep when he smelled her fragrance.

As I lay there, his big hands started to get restless.

Su Li slapped him and said irritably, "You said you were going to sleep."

"Oh, go to sleep."

Su Li: "..."

She was probably too tired, and after a while she nestled in his arms and fell asleep.

In her dream, she returned to the first half of her life.

Zhou Kai's maternal grandmother and mother were still alive. Back then, Zhou Kai's father often beat and scolded them, calling them shameless.

Her mother would always take her outside and let her stay at the neighbor's house for the night.

"Xiao Li, be good. No matter what noise you hear, don't come out. Mom will come to pick you up tomorrow."

She tugged at her mother's clothes and asked cautiously, "Is he going to hit you and Grandma again, Mom? I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, Mom will protect you."

Zhou Kai walked over and cursed at the mother and daughter, "Why aren't you going home to cook? You're starving. What are you babbling about here?"

The mother pushed her into the neighbor's house, then wiped away her tears and turned to go back.

Zhou Kai also cursed at her, saying very unpleasant things.

Su Li leaned against the doorway, watching quietly. She wanted to help them, but she was too young to do anything.

At that time, she longed for her father to come back from his business trip as soon as possible, because as long as her father was there, they would not dare to bully them.

I slept soundly until dawn.

When Su Li finished her dream, she woke up the next morning.

She sat up and saw that the man beside her was sleeping soundly.

Quan Ye hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days, and holding her finally allowed him to catch up on some rest.

She didn't wake him and quietly went to wash up.

"Knock knock—"

A knock sounded on the door. "Young Miss, are you awake?"
