"I think I've started to like you..."
"I think I've started to like you..."
A simple phrase that Shen Li didn't know how many times she had said.
It was just like how she and Huo Siyu had been in such a warm bathtub, countless times.
Eventually, Huo Siyu carried her out of the bathroom, placed her on the bed, and they embraced tightly together.
Feeling like they were melting into one, lying in Huo Siyu's arms, being held, with their bodies pressed closely together, looking into his tender eyes, feeling his warm movements, that feeling... was truly blissful.
"Siyu..."
Shen Li called out his name, her body no longer obeying her commands, her consciousness somewhat blurred.
Resting her head against his chest, feeling his body warmth, all she could see was his image.
Huo Siyu...
Siyu...
The name escaped her lips over and over, sounding like happiness, yet also like sighs.
"I'm here," Huo Siyu said softly, his fingers gently stroking Shen Li's long hair.
