Bae Juhyun, who was "settled" on the bed, knelt down, her slender, snow-white legs stretching out from the hem of her nightgown, her overly fair skin giving off a crystal-clear feeling under the bed lamp.
Her slender arms propped up on the bed, and because of her posture, the snowy area in front of her swayed in front of Liu Xin’an’s eyes.
"I said I don’t want to sleep, I want to keep watching TV."
"Nonsense, you were so sleepy just now you couldn’t keep your eyes open."
"I was listening to the TV!"
This unreasonable answer made Liu Xin’an laugh, "Go to sleep, I’m tired too."
"You obviously sleep around midnight every day, don’t think I don’t know."
"Tonight, I want to sleep early, keep me company."
Liu Xin’an’s gentle voice, coupled with his tender smile, was something Bae Juhyun found extremely difficult to resist.
She couldn’t argue back; as long as Liu Xin’an asked her this way, she would usually agree.
This time was no different.
Finally, no longer making a fuss, Bae Juhyun lazily lay down, her beautiful eyes half-closed, "Turn down the air conditioning a bit."
"Hmm? Isn’t it cold enough now?"
Liu Xin’an was puzzled. It was late September and not as unbearably hot as August, yet he still set the air conditioning to 23 degrees, a comfortable room temperature.
Bae Juhyun just reached out and patted Liu Xin’an, urging him to adjust the air conditioning.
After Liu Xin’an cooperated and lowered it by another degree, Bae Juhyun, satisfied, pulled Liu Xin’an to lie down beside her, pressing her cool body against his.
Liu Xin’an was like a big furnace. If the air conditioning wasn’t turned down, she would probably feel too hot after a while and let go of him. Google seaʀᴄh novel⁂fire.net
But she didn’t want to do that, so, lowering the air conditioning temperature was just the right compromise.
Exhausted, Bae Juhyun soon fell into a sweet slumber with a smile on her face.
For Liu Xin’an, however, it wasn’t an entirely enjoyable affair.
Not sleepy at all, he patiently waited for Bae Juhyun’s breathing to become even before carefully removing her arm draped over his chest.
His gentle movement still drew a grumble of discontent from Bae Juhyun, who then threw a leg over him, hugging him like a large octopus.
This time, it was Liu Xin’an who felt resigned.
Just as Bae Juhyun had said, he wasn’t sleepy at all.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to rest with her, but...
He had forgotten to bring his phone in!!
Bae Juhyun slept more peacefully than ever.
Probably because she knew she was sleeping at Liu Xin’an’s place, with him beside her, she easily slipped into a deep sleep, waking up around ten o’clock the next morning.
The moment Liu Xin’an’s fresh voice rang out, Bae Juhyun’s heart was instantly filled with a sweet feeling named happiness.
She bit her lower lip lightly, shyly pulling the quilt over her head, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth that kept rising.
However, her strange reaction left Liu Xin’an baffled.
"Wait! My face must be swollen! Don’t look!"
Because she had been fully made up every day recently, her proud, beautiful face would have varying degrees of swelling after resting.
It wasn’t a big problem; usually, the swelling would go down after waking up for a while, but... not yet!
Bae Juhyun, who was very conscious about her personal image, couldn’t possibly let Liu Xin’an see her swollen face.
Of course, Liu Xin’an had already noticed. After all, he woke up much earlier than Bae Juhyun and had been watching her adorable sleeping face for quite a while.
As for the swelling Bae Juhyun was worried about... it didn’t affect her beauty at all; in fact, it added an inexplicable cuteness to her usually cool and aloof demeanor.
"No, you’re still as beautiful as ever."
"Cut it out, leave the room. I want to laze around a bit more."
Nestled in the quilt, Bae Juhyun’s muffled voice came out as she shooed Liu Xin’an out of the room. One small white hand stretched from the quilt’s gap, groping around the pillow, soon finding her phone.
With a "whoosh," Bae Juhyun brought her phone into the quilt, squinting at the time and various unread messages.
Good, it wasn’t too late, and there was no call from Seong Taekyon, so Bae Juhyun was thoroughly relieved.
Hearing Liu Xin’an call her name, Bae Juhyun still didn’t come out from under the quilt, cutely answering, "Hmm?"
"Did you sleep well?"
"But I didn’t sleep well; what should I do?"
"Then continue sleeping... wait, what are you doing?"
Bae Juhyun instinctively replied, but soon, she felt the bed beside her sink.
It was like some heavy object fell onto the bed.
What in the room could be called a "heavy object"?
So, under Bae Juhyun’s alarmed gaze, the originally pitch-black inside of the quilt gradually brightened.
Fortunately, the light came and went quickly.
However, the returning darkness did not relax Bae Juhyun, because now it wasn’t just her under the quilt.
