In the morning, it was yet another new day, and the bright sunshine spilled into the room, illuminating it with a warm glow that felt especially comforting on the skin.
Lu Tianxing opened his eyes, lying in bed with Bai Zhiqing in his arms, a contented smile on his face as he stared at the ceiling, reminiscing about the previous night's events.
After some time, Bai Zhiqing also opened her eyes, glanced at Lu Tianxing beside her, and a gentle smile formed on her face.
Last night, she had slept in Lu Tianxing's embrace. More accurately, she was held by him as they slept, which gave Bai Zhiqing an unparalleled sense of security. As long as Lu Tianxing was by her side, Bai Zhiqing believed that even if the sky were to fall, he would hold it up again for her, shielding her from any harm.
Unconsciously, Bai Zhiqing had developed a strong dependence on Lu Tianxing.
"Awake?" Lu Tianxing smiled at Bai Zhiqing as he spoke.
"Mm."
