Li Xianglu felt like she was burning on fire, her entire body uncomfortably hot and dry, especially her mouth. Suddenly, she felt a surge of warm water entering her mouth and couldn't help but suck on it, sweet to the taste.
Her mouth's dryness was relieved, but her body was still feverishly hot. Struggling to open her eyes, she saw a figure lying beside her in the dim light, a large arm cradling her and a moist, warm sensation at her earlobe.
Li Xianglu moaned and reached out to push the figure away, but her push found nothing. She tried hard to open her eyes, but the drowsiness was too overpowering and she just wanted to sleep again.
A low and magnetic chuckle from Qin Xi came to her ears: "Awake?"
An hour had passed since the lights were turned off and they had gone back to sleep. Li Xianglu lay in the crook of Qin Xi's arm, rubbing her fuzzy head against the hollow of his shoulder, then hummed contentedly.
