She lay there with her eyes closed, resting, and when the drowsiness hit, she faintly heard the sound of the door opening, but couldn’t be bothered to open her eyes.
Until she was suddenly picked up.
"What time is it, and you’re still sleeping?" The voice was neither light nor heavy in her ear.
She hadn’t actually slept for long; the shock and jostling from before, plus walking all the way back, made her so tired she didn’t even want to move a finger.
But she could only swallow the bitterness herself; she uttered a soft "hmm," and continued to lean on Gu Annan, "Haven’t woken up yet."
The mumbling was particularly gentle and soft, it felt to him as if a small paw had suddenly seized his heart.
Carrying her into the room, he sat on the bed and looked down at her languid figure.
She wasn’t short, but in his arms, she seemed so small.
Under her messy hair, her complexion looked particularly weary.
Long eyelashes curled beautifully with her eyes closed, forming an elegant arc especially from this angle; she looked particularly beautiful.
Adjusting their position so she lay within his arms, his hand involuntarily landed on her fair cheek, as smooth as a peeled egg.
The touch was truly nice.
But there was something even better.
She had taken off her jacket after her return because it was hot from the walk.
Now she was only wearing a thin knitted sweater of a light milky white.
Gu Annan’s eyes narrowed, and that hint of wicked fire within them was rising.
His fingers trailed down from her face, and suddenly his brow furrowed; this piece of clothing was affecting the touch.
His lips descended upon her face...
"Mmm..." Lu Wanwan let out a soft moan, a mixture of a whimper and a coquettish sound.
"You seem to be able to sleep just fine," his voice was a bit husky.
The person atop him either felt disturbed by the dream or responded to his movements.
Lu Wanwan squirmed slightly, and the man’s dark eyes ignited with her movement, immediately brightening.
A series of kisses landed on her body, "Be good, time to get up."
Lu Wanwan felt uncomfortable, her mind foggy and a sudden heat spreading over her.
Struggling to open her eyes, she found herself pinned to the bed by a man in the throes of lust, kissing her deeply until she could hardly breathe.
"You’ve slept too much," he whispered in her ear, his feverish lips tracing the contours of her ear. "Be good, sleeping too much can make your head fuzzy, let me help you wake up, okay?"
"I haven’t slept much, I’m really tired," Lu Wanwan pushed at him, but lacking strength, it ended up more like a tease.
The man’s gaze was ablaze, his hands tightly gripping her slender waist as he continued, listening with satisfaction to the sounds of distress mixed with pleasure from her nostrils.
"Gu Annan... I’m, I’m really sleepy..."
At that moment, all she wanted was to bury her head in his chest and have a good restful sleep.
It wasn’t that she was sleepy, but the hazy feeling from getting off the car had not yet faded away.
Suddenly, a cellphone rang; it was Lu Wanwan’s phone.
"I need to take this call."
He held onto her hand firmly, his brows knitting together tightly.
But the phone kept ringing, refusing to stop.
The irritation of being disturbed grew into exasperation as he grabbed her phone, saw a string of numbers without a name on the screen.
Gu Annan hit the call button and tossed the phone by her face.
"Wanwan?" It was Wen Qiao’s voice through the phone, asking in confusion, "Are you there?"
Upon hearing this voice, his expression lightened slightly.
Because last time, he deleted a number from this phone’s contact list; now, seeing a string of numbers, he remembered the one he had deleted.
