Ming Ming lay stiffly with her eyes closed, lips pursed, cheeks flushed red, her body growing warmer from the contact with Qi Yue. Why hadn't he approached yet? Oh, how embarrassing! What was he waiting for?
Ming Ming's stiffness lasted a full twenty minutes, and it was only when her mind cleared from its blank state that she realized a significant amount of time had passed. Her body seemed almost numb, particularly the leg Qi Yue had placed over her own, which he would occasionally move.
Carefully opening her eyes, the darkness couldn't impair Ming Ming's vision. Qi Yue's smile seemed so gentle, instantly filling her heart with warmth. During the ride, she had envied Hai Ruyue. How nice it would be if Qi Yue were resting on her lap! And now he was right beside her, closely pressed against her body. But why did she feel a tinge of disappointment?
Qi Yue's face was close enough to touch, his breath audible. Was he, was he truly asleep?
