He slowly opened his eyes and saw Jiang Shuyue lying on the edge of the coffee table, her beautiful eyes closed, a strand of black hair hanging down her cheek.
The soft lamplight illuminated her stunningly beautiful profile, serene and gentle, a sight to behold simply by looking at her.
At this moment, Nangong Zeyue wished time could stand still so he could look at her without restraint.
There's no need to dodge; just stay by her side for life, forever.
He tiptoed to his feet, picked up a small blanket, and gently covered her with it.

"Okay, let's go."
It wasn't that Jiang Shuyue was being pretentious; she didn't care about those rigid rules about the differences between men and women. She just couldn't give him a promise right now.
