By evening, the sky was awash with hues of twilight, softly enveloping the courtyard.
Inside the room, Qu Tan'er woke up faintly on the bed, slightly opening her eyelids, she saw someone looking at her tenderly.
At such a close distance, she could even smell the fragrant scent emanating from his body.
"Chengcheng, did you know I would wake up at this time?" She had the intuition that he had been watching all along.
"Mm, I kept telling myself that you would wake up the next moment," he said.
What did that mean? But then she immediately cursed him silently for being a fool.
Yet, her heart felt warm...
Qu Tan'er tried to prop herself up but felt sore and numb all over from sleeping too much. "How long did I sleep?" she asked.
"Not long, just fourteen hours," he replied.
"Eh..." Fourteen hours, that meant 28 hours? That wasn't long? But she saw worry and a sense of relief in his eyes, which softened her own, "Were you worried about me?"
