Shen Li could not tell why but she felt that Lu Huaiyu was behaving a little differently from usual.
She said hesitantly, "Second Brother, did you... just wake up?"
Lu Huaiyu let out an extremely faint sound from his nasal cavity.
"Hmm."
As he looked at her, her appearance was clearly reflected in the depths of his phoenix-like eyes. His gaze was extremely intense.
Shen Li suddenly felt as if Lu Huaiyu was looking at her and yet at the same time, he did not really see her.
"I--"
The moment she opened her mouth, Lu Huaiyu suddenly raised his hand and pulled her into his embrace.
The heat from the man's body, mixed with the fresh moisture from just having had his bath, instantly filled the air.
This hug had happened so suddenly that Shen Li was stunned.
"Second Brother, what's wrong?"
Lu Huaiyu gently pressed his chin against the top of her head as his arms tightly wrapped around her slender waist.
