The other room was brightly lit.
Leng Ruxue had finished washing up and was sitting on the bed, but she wasn't asleep. She hugged her slightly curled knees with both hands, rested her small chin on her knees, and stared into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.
With a creak, the window of the room rattled, and a tall figure instantly flipped over and entered.
Leng Ruxue instinctively tried to make a sound, but the next second, her mouth was covered by a cool, rough hand.
Her gaze trembled slightly as she stared at Chu Nanfeng's handsome face. After a moment, she came to her senses and involuntarily let out a "woo-woo" sound.
Chu Nanfeng withdrew his lips from hers and silently rubbed his hands together, still feeling the lingering soft warmth of her touch.
He sat down on the edge of the bed without any hesitation, and gave Leng Ruxue, who was sitting on the bed staring blankly at him, a slight smile.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
I originally wanted to say "Do you miss me?", but it felt too slutty and cheesy, so I couldn't bring myself to say it.
She consciously replied, "Not sleepy yet," before Leng Ruxue finally snapped out of her daze, a hint of panic flashing across her face.
"Why did you come over without saying anything? Did anyone see you climbing in through the window?"
With his gaze slightly lowered and his fingers running through her wet hair, Chu Nanfeng looked up at her, seemingly ignoring her question.
"You'll catch a cold if you don't blow-dry your hair at night."
Leng Ruxue couldn't help but grab his arm. Just as she was about to ask again, her petite body was lifted off the bed and carried horizontally in his arms.
The first time she was carried in a man's arms like a princess, she felt extremely uncomfortable and struggled involuntarily.
"If you keep making a commotion like this, someone will really find out."
Steadily supporting Leng Ruxue's struggling body, Chu Nanfeng stared straight ahead without glancing to the side, his deep voice escaping from his throat as he walked directly towards the bathroom.
He hooked his toes over a chair and sat down. Leng Ruxue, who was only about shoulder height, was pressed onto his lap like a child.
Through the fabric of his trousers, she could feel the firm, warm touch of his leg muscles. Leng Ruxue's face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but try to get up, but Chu Nanfeng held her tightly in his arms.
"Don't move."
His firm chest trembled slightly, and his deep voice was full of seriousness, which made Leng Ruxue unable to muster any resistance for a moment.
The sound of a hairdryer filled the air, and a gentle warm breeze blew through her long, wavy hair. Chu Nanfeng's slender fingers weaved through her hair, then gently massaged her scalp, bringing a strange sense of comfort.
Leng Ruxue couldn't help but look up and secretly sized him up, and had to admit that he was really handsome.
He has a handsome appearance and an extraordinary air about him.
Her face has distinct features, like a work of art carved with a knife and axe, with sharp angles and lines revealing a beauty that is both strong and soft.
He held a hairdryer in one hand and gently stroked her hair with the other, his eyes completely focused.
His overall demeanor is strong yet gentle, dignified yet approachable, profound yet unrestrained.
These qualities are perfectly integrated into him, ultimately transforming into a profound and mature charm that exudes an indescribable allure.
He put down the hairdryer, and without saying a word, easily picked her up again, walked back to the bedside, put her back on the bed, and carefully pulled the blanket over her.
Then his tall body lay down beside her, hooked his arm around her waist, pulled her into his embrace, and closed his eyes deeply.
Leng Ruxue panicked for a moment, gently pushing against his chest with her small hand, "Are you... are you sleepy?"
Chu Nanfeng closed his eyes and responded softly, "Mmm."
"Then, then you should go back to your room and rest, don't sleep here!"
Seeing that Chu Nanfeng had his eyes closed and was not moving, Leng Ruxue pushed and shook him even harder.
Chu Nanfeng kept his eyes closed, one arm around her waist, the other hand grabbing her fidgeting little hand and pressing it against his chest, speaking in a deep voice.
"Let me hold you for a while, I'll leave soon."
His voice was deep and pleasant, yet tinged with a hint of hoarseness and weariness.
Seeing the obvious weariness between his brows, Leng Ruxue's small hand, which was pressed against his chest, clenched slightly, and she uttered a soft sound:
You look very tired.
Chu Nanfeng closed his eyes and replied, "Yeah, I've been on a plane for a long time, so I'm a little tired."
In fact, in order to free up enough time to be here, he worked overtime to handle his current tasks and ran around arranging related matters.
Even on the plane, I was still urgently dealing with some unfinished matters, and I hadn't slept for two days and two nights because of it.
Leng Ruxue stared at him intently, her eyes flickering slightly. "You... why did you suddenly come here?"
Chu Nanfeng opened his eyes and instantly met her gaze. "First, I missed you. Second, I knew the situation here was bad and I was worried about your safety."
Burned by his deep, intense gaze, Leng Ruxue's eyes darted away slightly. "Then how long are you going to stay before you go back?"
"I'll stay here and go back with you."
Leng Ruxue gasped softly, "Huh?"
Chu Nanfeng's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he looked down at her. "Afraid that if I stay too long, they'll find out?"
Leng Ruxue nodded subconsciously.
While she was slightly dazed, she didn't hear Chu Nanfeng speak again for a long time. She looked up at him in confusion, only to find that he was staring at her with unwavering eyes, his gaze dark and unfathomable.
"W-what's wrong?"
Chu Nanfeng stared intently into Leng Ruxue's eyes, and after a moment, spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Is being with me something you can't bear to see in the light of day?"
His deep, husky voice held a subtle hint of disappointment that was hard to detect.
