The warm sunshine of early winter was blocked by the blackout curtains. In the room that was open day and night, only a small warm light was on in the porch. The light passed through the porch and was very dim when it reached the bed.
Xiao Xingyu half leaned against the headboard and replied to an email, then turned off his phone with one hand. Then he moved his body down as slightly as possible, stopping at a position slightly higher than Zhang Moyan who was lying on the same pillow.
Zhang Moyan slept on her side, facing him, but curled up like a cat, keeping a little distance from him. It was easy to hold a woman in his arms, but when Xiao Xingyu thought of her frightened look before going to sleep, and her relief when he announced it was time to go to sleep, he couldn't help but worry that the slightest movement might scare her away.
Staring at the distance between them that was less than a fist away with resentment, Xiao Xingyu couldn't help but reflect on how beastly his behavior the night before was, which left such a huge shadow in people's hearts.
His gaze gradually shifted to the top of Zhang Moyan's head, forehead, then the ends of her eyebrows, eyes, and the tip of her nose... Her temperament was really aloof, as distant as a white camellia in the clouds, but her facial features were very prominent, with a kind of beauty that touched people's hearts. He was deeply impressed the first time he saw her.
Xiao Xingyu suddenly felt that the metaphor of the camellia was incredibly apt—a pitiful little flower, so fragile it could break at the slightest bend, yet its frail frame withstood the harsh cold of the season. However, this was a maze spanning nearly a thousand years, with countless human and political events unfolding in that time. How could it be shouldered or resolved by a single individual?
Xiao Xingyu tried to shrink the woman in front of him into her teenage years and imagine how the little person would live her life as if nothing had happened after knowing that she was an adopted daughter... The thought made him feel distressed.
Later, this little guy had Chen Yun's mess again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and was determined to end everything at all costs, even at death.
She is so rational and cold-blooded. Well, this woman is really cold-blooded. She has feelings for him in her heart, but she can be so cold to him. Not only to him, but also to herself.
…
Perhaps it was because there were so many contradictory things in Zhang Moyan that he was so bewildered that he was completely confused.
His focused gaze finally stopped on Zhang Moyan's lips. Hmm~ Not bad, Xiao Xingyu was quite satisfied. After his stalking-like care throughout the day yesterday, his wife's lips had become slightly rosy... Hmm~ The petal lips are really beautiful, plump and soft, with both innocence and temptation, but they are lightly pursed with a thin line that keeps people away, as sacred and inviolable as a fairy.
But no matter how much I reject others, I will never reject him! Inviolability also applies to other people on the earth! Xiao Xingyu thought triumphantly in his heart, the sweet taste of soft lips came to his mind, and unknowingly his fingers touched Zhang Moyan's slightly upturned lips with evil thoughts.
Instantly, Zhang Moyan's eyelashes trembled slightly. Xiao Xingyu's heart tightened, and he quickly withdrew his hand, maintaining a semi-frozen gesture and holding his breath to observe Zhang Moyan's movements.
Zhang Moyan opened his eyes sleepily, looked at the person in front of him confusedly, and then closed his eyes calmly.
Hiss——
Xiao Xingyu's heart was filled with a series of crackling electric shocks. Zhang Moyan's slight reaction had actually sent a tingling sensation through his entire chest. It was so intense that he felt the quiet room was filled with the sound of his thundering heartbeat.
What does this mean?
A second ago, Xiao Xingyu was almost certain that Zhang Moyan was afraid of him, but in that second, he was absolutely certain that was not the case! He was definitely not some scoundrel who made Zhang Moyan feel intimidated. On the contrary, he was someone she had no defenses against and someone she believed was absolutely safe!
As soon as he came to this realization, Xiao Xingyu immediately threw away his cautious thoughts. He immediately put his strong arms around Zhang Moyan's shoulders and held her tightly in his arms.
"...What time is it?" A few strands of hair ran to her nose. Zhang Moyan rubbed Xiao Xingyu's chest and asked vaguely.
“…”
Xiao Xingyu rolled his Adam's apple and said, "It's still early, only two o'clock in the afternoon."
"Two o'clock?" Zhang Moyan opened her eyes immediately and paused in disbelief. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. "I actually slept for so long?"
"It's okay, it's less than 10 hours." Xiao Xingyu followed Zhang Moyan and sat up, turning on the ceiling light in the bedroom.
Zhang Moyan threw off the quilt and was about to get out of bed: "Did I delay anything? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Xiao Xingyu reached out to stop her: "Don't worry, you haven't delayed anything. Xiaowa hasn't contacted us yet."
Zhang Moyan asked curiously, "No contact yet?"
Xiao Xingyu got off the bed and went to the closet to get Zhang Moyan's clothes for her. "No contact means things aren't going well. Now's the time to test your mentality. Come on, I'll help you get dressed. This executive lounge has good reviews online. I'll take you there. I'm starving!"
"You haven't eaten yet..." Zhang Moyan was halfway through her sentence when someone suddenly pulled off the belt of her nightgown. She was so shocked that she immediately covered her chest with her hands and slid out of bed holding her clothes, without even having time to put on her shoes. "I can do it myself, I'm going to the bathroom to change clothes!"
Xiao Xingyu stood up, grinning unabashedly, and said thick-skinnedly, "You're still going to the bathroom? Why are you being so reserved? Haven't we already been honest with each other..."
"Ah! Stop talking!" Zhang Moyan shouted, her face flushed red as she hurriedly slipped on her slippers. "...Just wait a moment, I'll be quick."
After saying that, she slipped into the bathroom like a rabbit without waiting for Xiao Xingyu to react.
Xiao Xingyu looked at the bathroom door, which had slammed shut, and smiled broadly. He was delighted to see the vibrant Zhang Moyan again, and couldn't help but sigh at his own excellence, deserving of being Zhang Moyan's only perfect match in this world.
