Chapter 39 - A Night of Temptations

Huo Mingyue tossed and turned in his bed, unable to fall asleep. He sat up, his long albino hair messy and tangled. He rubbed his nose with his hand, feeling restless and frustrated. He wondered why he couldn't sleep, why he couldn't stop thinking about her. He wanted to see her, to touch her, to embrace her.
