Drowsiness washed over her, and she set the book aside, "Xiao Bai, why don't you go rest in the guest room?"
"I can't, with His Highness away, if I don't listen to his orders, he'll be furious when he returns."
"That's okay."
Xiao Bai adamantly refused, firmly staying put, and took his seat by the door.
Unable to persuade him, Gu Lili stopped trying, put out the light, and lay down to fall asleep.
In her slumber, she always felt someone placing a hand on her face.
The sensation grew stronger and stronger.
So much so that when her consciousness gradually pulled away from her dreams, the touch on her face was still so vivid.
By the time she wanted to wake up, the feeling had vanished.
Gu Lili sank deep into her dreams again.
And slept till dawn.
When she woke up in the morning, her eyes remained closed, and as she turned her body, her hand landed on another body.
Gu Lili suddenly opened her eyes, meeting the dark pupils she longed for day and night.
