When he returned, the hem of Gu Chu's nightdress had rolled up to her chest while she was tossing and turning. A small part of her soft belly was exposed.
The day became shorter as winter approached. It was already past six o'clock. The sky was dark.
He wanted to roll down her dress, but his eyes darkened when he touched her skin.
When Feng Jia lifted her feet, Gu Chu was startled awake.
Feng Jia's voice was low and hoarse. "You're awake?"
She subconsciously wanted to close her legs, but he grabbed her ankles. "Did you apply medicine before you went to bed?"
Gu Chu was a little confused. "I think so?"
"Did you apply it yourself?" He asked.
She was even more confused. "Who else did?"
"Why didn't you ask me to help you?"
Gu Chu, who was still in a daze a moment ago, was jolted awake. She opened her eyes and saw his dark eyes. She subconsciously wanted to retract her foot. "There's no need for that."
