Song Zhen changed his clothes and joined the discussion of Gu Xinzhou's rescue team.
They talked for a very long time.
Eventually, Song Zhen suggested dissolving the rescue center and formally establishing a support center themed around women's self-empowerment and mutual aid in the coming spring.
After these matters were settled, it was already midnight.
Gu Xinzhou lay asleep on a low table.
Song Zhen quietly watched her, pushing her strands of hair behind her ear to reveal her entire, glowing face, and then he stood up and stepped aside.
Before long, when he came back, Song Zhen had a pencil and a sketchboard in his hands.
He began to carefully capture the sleeping likeness of Gu Xinzhou, her delicate and charming features, the ring on her finger, the dreamy curtains, and the tranquil deep blue outside the window.
After finishing the drawing, he smiled with a curl of the lip.
The next day.
Gu Xinzhou woke up in Song Zhen's arms.
