While Bai Zemin was lost in his inner thoughts, Lilith's still sleepy voice brought him back to the real world.
"What could be so important as to make you sigh like that two times in a row?"
Bai Zemin adjusted his posture a bit and drew her closer to him. After giving her a gentle kiss on the top of her head and while softly caressing her delicate bare shoulder, he replied in a calm voice, "It's nothing important, just my head thinking about what to do from here on. Go back to sleep, I'll follow you soon."
Lilith did not insist and simply nodded prettily before closing her eyes again to immerse herself in the wonderful dreamland she had been away from for so long but one that thanks to Bai Zemin she was beginning to appreciate again.
A minute later, Bai Zemin felt Lilith's chest rise and fall rhythmically with her breathing. She had fallen asleep again.
