The whole morning was a mess.
Not just life, but also the mood.
Gu Tiantian was still lying prone, but unlike before when Bai Chenyao would usually be gone by the time she woke up, he was still laying beside her.
He was wearing a brown cotton pajama set, with two buttons undone, exposing a large area of bronze skin.
Gu Tiantian’s cheeks were flushed red, unsure if she was embarrassed by their current situation or by how she had mistaken Bai Chenyao for a teddy bear earlier and absentmindedly touched his chest.
She, Gu Tiantian, was definitely not a lecherous woman!
Besides, even if she were, she would absolutely steer clear of someone like Bai Chenyao.
Bai Chenyao spoke again, his deep and rich voice sounded almost magical, teasing Gu Tiantian’s eardrums.
Her cheeks turned red once more.
Face flushed, eyes flickering.
Gu Tiantian pursed her lips, speaking slowly.
"I... I didn’t mean it like that."
Since Bai Chenyao rarely showed such kindness, how could she possibly throw herself at him?
"That’s what I mean!"
So, he’s insisting on letting her touch?
Ten minutes later, Gu Tiantian’s cheeks were as red as the setting summer sun, brilliantly bright.
Twenty minutes later, Gu Tiantian felt her fingers trembling...
Her stomach churning a bit, Gu Tiantian quickly reached out, intending to grab some tissues from the nightstand.
Before she could, her small hand was captured by a large hand, Bai Chenyao lowered his head, focused intently on her hand, wiping it.
At that moment, Bai Chenyao seemed to be quite approachable, for while there wasn’t a hint of a smile, neither was there the chilling and stern aura.
Blinking her eyes, Gu Tiantian gathered all her courage, speaking quickly.
"A Yao, I want to go home..."
Noticing the darkness in Bai Chenyao’s eyes, Gu Tiantian immediately added two more words.
Bai Chenyao’s hand-wiping motion did not cease, and he was especially meticulous and attentive, his gaze fixed on her small hand.
"Li Mu will take you there."
Gu Tiantian was stunned, does this mean he agreed!
Unfortunately, it meant not staying over.
But recalling the look in Bai Chenyao’s eyes earlier, Gu Tiantian knew that if she suggested staying over, Bai Chenyao would surely change his expression.
Even if... actually, Bai Chenyao’s expression wasn’t exactly mild and pleasant now either.
But fate had indeed been kind to him, as his face was exceptionally handsome and striking from any angle.
With her hand wiped clean, Gu Tiantian felt a little more at ease inside.
Once Bai Chenyao got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, Gu Tiantian was about to pick up the water on the table to wash properly.
Before she could, Bai Chenyao emerged from the bathroom.
Holding a towel in his hand, which seemed to be already wet.
To Gu Tiantian’s surprise, Bai Chenyao used the wet towel to wipe her hands again.
Outside and inside, thoroughly and cleanly.
When Bai Chenyao returned to the bathroom with the towel, listening to the sound of running water from inside, Gu Tiantian was still a bit at a loss.
Has Bai Chenyao changed?
She must be dreaming!
Gu Tiantian closed her eyes, deciding to go back to sleep.
