Su Qingsang first heard the heavy breathing in the room before waking up fully.
She raised her head. She couldn't see Huo Jinyao's face in the darkness but could feel that he was breathing hard.
When she raised a hand to turn on the light, she found Huo Jinyao's forehead covered in sweat.
She had never seen him like that before.
"Jinyao? Huo Jinyao?"
He didn't respond to her. His eyebrows were knitted into a deep frown, and his cheeks were strangely red. More and more sweat formed on his forehead.
Su Qingsang could tell that Huo Jinyao was stuck in a very bad nightmare at the moment.
She patted his cheek with her palm. Huo Jinyao paused briefly but soon furrowed his eyebrows again.
"Huo Jinyao?" Su Qingsang called his name again, finding him showing no sign of waking up at all.
She leaned towards him, held his face with both hands and kissed his lips hard.
