nLu Yanchen was trying his best to concentrate. But, his focus was like a kite that had lost its string, flying further and further away from him. As his lips quivered slightly, he could not help but cast another glance over at Shi Guang.

nHe felt really hot with the first glance.

nBut this second glance? It had him feeling as though he was on a barbeque rack.

nShe was clearly just lying down there without doing anything. But to him, she was seducing him, luring him to invade, to conquer, to sink into her…

nIt was too hot. All of a sudden, the air conditioner in the room seemed to have lost its function entirely. Even the air he breathed in seemed steaming, turning everything into fire. It was so hot that even his heart was burning up!

nSuddenly, Lu Yanchen stood up and walked over in huge strides, saying in a cold voice, “Sit properly.”

nHe thought that somebody was just lying down because she thought that watching the television this way would be more comfortable. But eventually, he saw someone lying down there having fallen asleep on the couch.

nHer long lashes cast a dark shadow over her eyes. The view of her sleeping by the side looked sweet and peaceful.

nGently, her body curled up as she hugged herself with both hands like she was protecting herself.

nLu Yanchen froze up momentarily, feeling a sense of exasperation.

nAfter staring at her for a moment, he walked back into his bedroom with light steps. He returned before long with a blanket that he laid over her gently. He took out the hairband on her half-tied hair and took her shoes off before lifting her feet onto the sofa.

nThat series of motion was ever so tender and gentle.

nHe was so careful that even he himself wouldn’t have discovered himself.

nLu Yanchen returned to the bar top table. But still, he was unable to focus his attention. Rubbing his temple, he decided to call it quits for today.

nAs he walked by the living room to return to his bedroom, he found himself rooted and unable to leave the place. Looking at how someone was fast asleep with that fatigued expression, he felt a complex series of emotions tugging at his heart.

nEventually, as though he was possessed, he walked beside the sofa and extended his arm, carrying the fast asleep Shi Guang up gently.

nLeaning in, he kissed her silky hair lightly.

nHidden emotions struggled from deep within his gaze to pour out.

nAfter placing her on the bed, he did not lie down, neither did he walk off. He chose to just sit beside her bed and look at her quietly. That flustered state of heart he had earlier suddenly came to a state of calmness.

nTime slipped by bit by bit; it was only till dawn broke out that he stood up and left.

n…

nWhen Shi Guang woke up the next day, she got a huge scare when she found herself in a foreign looking room.

nShe checked herself right away by instinct.

nThankfully, her clothes were still on and she didn’t feel anything off about her body.

nWith that, she heaved out a sigh of relief.

nYesterday, she had come to Lu Yanchen’s house to charge her phone, and combined with her fatigue, had just fallen asleep at his place.

nHeading outside, she found no one in the living room.

nThis was for the better.

nWearing her shoes, she took her phone and charger, then walked out gently. It was only until she had returned home that she heaved out a sigh of relief.

nPutting down her phone, she scooped up her messy, scattered hair, wanting to tie them up. Surprised, she found her hairband missing.

nSeemed like she must have left it at Lu Yanchen’s place.

nShe was definitely not going back for it; thus, she headed over to the bedroom for a spare one.

nTruly impressed with herself, she was amazed at how she could even fall asleep at his place yesterday.

n‘Hais! I truly have a brain as thick as a pig.’

nAfter a simple washing up, Shi Guang gave a call to the estate management. Before long, they sent someone over to fix the fuse.

nIt didn’t take long before the power in her house came back.

nShi Guang cooked her breakfast, and was prepared to leave the house.

nEach month during her menstrual period, she did not have to attend training. She would then head to the nursing home to take care of her sister, and today was no exception.

nRiding out of her neighborhood on her bike, she turned left as a black jeep drove in from the right and parked below the apartment.
