The new year's snow covered the Pear Blossom Villa.
The sky after the snow was a clear, bright blue.
At 7 a.m., Lu Yu could no longer lie down.
The biological clock is a truly terrifying thing. Every morning at 7 AM, my body is automatically awakened by my full-speed run.
She chatted with Jiao Yuyin until 2:15 a.m. yesterday before resting. She calculated that she only slept for a little over four hours, just enough for a complete sleep cycle.
Even though Lu Yu wanted to sleep a little longer, she felt unwell no matter what.
Jiao Yuyin was still fast asleep. His dark circles had faded a bit, but you could still tell from his undisturbed sleep that he was extremely tired.
Just a few months ago, Jiao Yuyin was a decadent young master who wouldn't stop sleeping until late morning. Now, he leaves early and returns late every day, so busy that he's practically dizzy, and his days consist of nothing but completing his sleeping arrangements and working.
In just a few months, the same person has completely changed.
Lu Yu lay on her side, admiring the handsome face before her, and smiled unconsciously.
She simply got up and did a quick wash.
The outdoor air was incredibly fresh. Lu Yu took a few deep breaths, feeling as if her entire being was enveloped in the cool, clear air.
Lu Yu left footprints in the snow. The snow wasn't thick, only two or three centimeters. She walked lightly, and in no time, a picture of Doraemon was drawn by Lu Yu's footsteps.
When placed in a snowy scene, Doraemon's appearance is not clearly visible.
Lu Yu ran back to the villa's study and peered out the window. She could clearly see that it was a crooked, distorted robot cat. Fortunately, with careful observation, she could still make out the shape.
Lu Yu's satisfied smile was finally reflected in the window.
Lu Yu went to the gym to start her day's full-speed run, while Jiao Yuyin slept soundly on the soft bed in the bedroom. This scene was just like it had been a few months ago when Lu Yu first came to Lixiang Villa.
An hour later, Lu Yu took a hot shower, washing away the sweat and weakness. The drowsiness from lack of sleep slowly spread throughout her body.
Lu Yu decided to start the new year with the best possible nap.
When she stood in front of the bed in the bedroom again, she was a little troubled.
The pillow that had been separating the two of them was now being held in Jiao Yuyin's arms as he slept. He lay on his side, slightly bent, facing Lu Yu.
Perhaps Jiao Yuyin woke up in the middle of the night and found her gone, so he simply settled into the most comfortable position and went back to sleep.
This also shows that Jiao Yuyin usually takes her feelings into consideration, lying flat in an unnatural position like a zombie, with one hand outstretched and placed properly on the pillow, letting her hold it. After one night, a dent would be left on the pillow in a fixed position.
Lu Yu felt a mix of guilt and gratitude, and couldn't bear to disturb Jiao Yuyin's sweet dreams any longer. She slipped into bed very quietly.
Then she slowly reached out, her arm dangling in the air, to reach for Jiao Yuyin's forearm. That was the easiest way for her to touch Jiao Yuyin's skin.
My fingers moved and touched his bare forearm.
The tide of voices recedes.
Lu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next instant, she stopped breathing completely.
Jiao Yuyin suddenly shifted twice and pulled Lu Yu into his arms.
His arms were long enough, and his embrace broad enough. A soft pillow was placed between their chests.
Lu Yu raised her head slightly, her gaze passing over the pillow. The close proximity of the object made Lu Yu inexplicably nervous.
His Adam's apple was sexy, and a hint of stubble was peeking out on his chin; every tiny detail of his skin was magnified in her eyes. His breathing was very rhythmic, a blend of patchouli and raspberry scents.
The close proximity made it difficult for Lu Yu to breathe, but she seemed unable to struggle. A warm hand pressed against her neck, tightening its grip and pulling her into its embrace.
It seemed... his fingers even caressed the skin on the back of her neck a few times.
Flicking a few stray hairs from the back of my neck with my fingers made that sensitive skin itch even more.
Lu Yu looked up at Jiao Yuyin, whose eyes were closed, all of which were subconscious reactions in his sleep.
The steam from the shower seemed to come again at this moment, slowly enveloping the bedroom.
Lu Yu immediately lowered her head and buried herself in the pillow between them. She didn't know what this feeling was, but suddenly, it seemed that her originally calm mind was completely overwhelmed by a sense of dizziness.
Lu Yu was even more confused. She seemed capable of pushing Jiao Yuyin away, so why did her first instinctive reaction be to bury herself in the pillow...?
Fortunately, the fingers on her neck quickly stopped, only touching her fair skin and not stroking it anymore.
The chirping of sparrows outside the window drifted into the bedroom through the cracks in the window.
Lu Yu, in such an embrace, maintained a fairly comfortable position and gradually fell asleep, continuing her nap.
