In the morning, Xue Guangli woke up next to a sleeping Long Huojin. The drapes were open from the way she left it the night before. The sunlight peered through, shining on his face.
In her view, he held her tightly. Long Huojin's lashes fluttered; his chest rose and fell in shallow breaths. Xue Guangli's gaze lowered from his face when she realized that she could see more skin than she expected. Indeed, he was only in boxer shorts, and the rest of him was naked.
Xue Guangli blushed at the sight of him.
She then ran a hand around his tatted upper arm. It was a thin serpent coiled around his bicep with its forked tongue sticking out. She remembered that he had it since high school, as he removed his shirt for sports. But, back then, he also had piercings and longer hair.
