One of them was in bed, the other in the bathroom—they had been in quite a predicament for a while!
Eventually, Di Mingzhe felt that if he continued his bath, he would be there till daybreak, so he dried off and emerged.
Truth be told, when he stepped outside, his heart was filled with nervous anticipation but that suddenly dissipated halfway.
Because he saw Di Xiaxia sleeping on the bed!
Perhaps he really had taken too long in the bath.
He walked softly towards the room, switching off the main lights leaving only a side lamp on. Its soft glow filled the room.
He watched the sleeping girl on the bed, his deep-set eyes sinking lower.
After a moment of silence, he approached her, sat by her side, and gently patted her, "Xiaxia, wake up, your brother has something to say."
He gently lay her head on the pillow. Di Mingzhe's original intent was to walk away, but at that moment he couldn't tear his gaze away.
