After dinner at home, Qiao Xiaren felt overwhelmingly drowsy and flopped onto the bed, ready to sleep.
She thought to herself that she'd just lie down a little longer before getting up to bathe and sleep. As soon as Si Limo walked into the room, he saw her deeply asleep, half her body sinking into the soft covers, her side profile exuding a rare tranquility.
"Ranran."
Qiao Xiaren was fast asleep and couldn't hear him speaking right by her ear. She merely furrowed her brows slightly before continuing to sleep.
He bent down, reached out, and picked her up, carrying her towards the bathroom. She stirred slightly, suddenly hearing his low, raspy voice by her ear, "Don't move, you'll fall if you keep squirming."
Qiao Xiaren groggily opened her eyes just a crack and saw his face so close to hers, instinctively letting her hand rest on his shoulder.
