An hour passed by without the two of them realizing it. Su Jiu leaned on Rong Si's shoulder and rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Oh… Rong Si, I'm sleepy."
Rong Si lifted her off the sofa and headed upstairs. "If you're sleepy, then sleep."
"Yes…" Su Jiu mumbled and closed her eyes. The warmth of his body and the steady, strong beat of his heart were like a good hypnotic drug. She quickly fell asleep.
Rong Si took her back to her room and laid her on the bed. He carefully tucked her in before leaving.

The next day, after waking up, Su Jiu came downstairs. She smelled the tempting fragrance of food coming from the kitchen.
Quietly walking to the kitchen, she saw the young man cooking inside. He was wearing a white shirt with the cuffs loosely rolled up, revealing his fair forearms. Rong Si was frying a poached egg.
