When Gu Xici returned, it was already past 2 a.m.
Jiang Yi couldn't fight off sleepiness and had dozed off, half-reclined on the sofa.
As Gu Xici approached the sofa and saw Jiang Yi sleeping on it, he inadvertently paused in his steps.
He then took off his suit jacket, loosened his tie, approached the sofa, and tried to lift Jiang Yi from it to carry her back to the bedroom.
But as soon as his hand barely touched Jiang Yi's arm, she instantly woke up.
Under the gentle yellow light that filled the room with warmth, Jiang Yi was confused for quite a while, staring blankly at Gu Xici, who was bending over and reaching out to her.
Seeing that Jiang Yi was awake, Gu Xici smiled, "Why are you sleeping here? It's cold."
Jiang Yi did not accept Gu Xici's offer to help her up. Instead, she moved back slightly and then climbed up from the sofa on her own.
"I was waiting for you to come back," Jiang Yi said with a complex expression.
