Wei Ruo's cheeks flushed, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.
Her hands, unsure of where to rest, shifted from his lower back to his waist before quickly retracting, only to return to his chest after a slight movement.
Wei Ruo fumbled around until finally, when her hand landed on his chest again, Wei Jinyi caught it.
"Sweetheart, stop moving."
"Second brother?"
"Sleep." His deep voice sounded from above her, soothing Wei Ruo softly.
Wei Ruo was a bit confused but did not persist in questioning.
After an indeterminable amount of time, slumber overtook her, and Wei Ruo peacefully fell asleep in his warm embrace.
Just like that, they shared a bed peacefully without incident for the night.
In the following days, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi continued to share a bed, but there was no further progress in their relationship.
Every night, Wei Jinyi would hold Wei Ruo, and they would kiss when the tension was too much to bear, but their intimacy would halt there.
