He felt a little more at ease because he had space.
"Okay, just be careful. Sleep a little longer, there's still an hour or so before you have to go to work."
The two fell asleep in each other's arms.
Lu Yuan had just lain down when his ears twitched: there was noise outside.
He quickly became alert and lowered his voice, saying, "I'll go check; there's a noise outside the window."
