Under the soft light, Jiang Yuzhu lies in bed accompanied by Xiaobai's purring.
Exhausted, she tries to stay awake, waiting for Pei Jingchuan's return.
In a half-asleep state, she seems to feel a familiar presence, slightly cold.
The bedside clock ticks, as if reminding her of the passage of time.
Jiang Yuzhu's eyelids gradually grew heavy, although she struggled against the approaching drowsiness, but in the end, physical exhaustion overcame her will.
In her waiting, she gradually drifted into dreamland.
Her breathing became steady and deep, her face particularly peaceful under the moonlight.
Deep into the night, the soft sound of a key turning came from outside the door.
Pei Jingchuan entered. Seeing that Yuzhu had already fallen asleep, a hint of guilt and tenderness flashed across his face.
He walked quietly up to her, leaned down, and gently kissed her forehead.
