Sunlight filtered through the window into the room, scattering across the wide bed with a gentle touch. Zhang Ziwen opened his eyes, feeling incredibly comfortable from his sleep. He wanted to stretch out but felt the weight in his arms and a pleasant scent lingering at the tip of his nose—the fragrance of a woman.
It was He Li, still asleep, curled up in Zhang Ziwen's embrace, snug against his body. Last night, He Li had naturally ended up sleeping in his bed.
Zhang Ziwen's lips curled into a slight smile—he liked this feeling. Her beautiful face rested in his arms, her body's scent intoxicating and comforting, familiar and alluring. He watched the sleeping beauty that was He Li, careful not to move his body; he feared he might wake her…
The sunlight was gentle, the warm rays rousing He Li. Her lovely, long eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her beautiful eyes.
"Mmm… Are you awake?" she murmured with a womanly delicacy that could claim a man's life, still a little drowsy.
