But it was He Zhilan's statement about whether she should go to sleep or not that stirred He Teng's impulsive thoughts. He glanced at He Zhilan, observing her slightly reddened ears from the noise next door. His heart tightened again.
He Teng began to think that if he was careful not to hurt her hand, it should be okay, right?
His wife was lying next to him, and yet he found it very hard to restrain himself. He Teng asked himself, isn't this masochism?
With this thought, He Teng turned over and pressed himself directly onto He Zhilan, taking her hands and placing them above her head. His voice was hoarse and low, "I'll be careful with your hand."
He Zhilan was taken aback. She had thought that He Teng had remarkable self-control and could remain unaffected. But seeing this, it was clear that he was not unaffected, but was struggling to restrain himself!
