Alix, at first, obviously thought that this was a dream. Her wishful mind, deprived of sleep now, was hallucinating Jin in her room.
"Go away. Don't bother me with illusions," she waved her hand in dismissal and turned the other way.
She felt her shoulder pulled back and make her face the same look-alike of Jin.
"You are not hallucinating. I'm really here."
Which earned him a slap across his face.
"Why did you slap me!" He quickly lowered his voice to a hush.
Her eyes widened, dumbfounded. "That actually hit? Wait, you are really here?"
Jin rubbed his cheek full of grievances. "That's some way to welcome your husband who came all the way in the middle of the night to hug you!"
Alix was at a loss.
"How? You climbed the window? But it's closed."
"Your sister led me in. Secretly. She is guarding outside for now."
The door creaked open right at that moment and Mui popped her sweaty head in.
