He trailed off mid-sentence, his voice abruptly stopping.
He gently closed his mouth, not saying another word.
He turned his head, his gaze falling upon her peaceful, sleeping face.
As he watched, the corners of his lips unconsciously curled into a gentle smile.
The smile spread from his lips to his eyes.
He gazed at her quietly for a long time.
Then, he gently propped himself up and leaned over.
He placed an incredibly light kiss on her smooth forehead.
"Sleep now, my Xiao Jing."
He murmured in a low voice.

Suddenly, a series of furious roars tore through the silent air.
Some of the more fragile plants were even snapped and toppled by the vibrations.
Bits of mud flew and dust filled the sky.
The moment the sound wave hit, Chu Jing leaped into the air.
