"Mmm..."
A soft mumble breaking the silence came from the quivering nose, reluctant to admit defeat against the clutches of sleep. Eyelids fluttered then squeezed tight and the body instinctively pressed closer to the warmth, face burrowing into a smooth, solid surface radiating an indescribable tenderness. The embrace, gentle but firm, enveloped it, as if protecting something precious...
"...!!!!!!"
Warmth? Comfort? Safety? What on earth had happened?! What happened to me?!
Emerging from the drowsy stupor of semi-consciousness to a state of urgent alert, the eyes opened in a desperate attempt to understand the situation. Her innocent purple eyes were reflected in the chest of a honey-skinned being, their bodies pressing and sharing warmth.
Instantly, shock rendered Roland almost speechless, his mouth agape but words failing him.
Awake now, Roland could not comprehend why he was in Li Lin's embrace. Even more perplexing was the realization that he and Li Lin—
—were both naked!
