Some say that snoring is because one is too exhausted from the day.
Qiao Xiguan was indeed very tired that day.
Gu Zichen opened his eyes and turned to look at Qiao Xiguan, who had buried her head in the crook of his neck, observing the long lashes that still seemed wet with undried tears.
Why was she crying?!
He had thought that after securing the project, she would be triumphant.
She didn't seem like a sentimental person, at least not since her release from prison.
What on earth had she been through, that she couldn't sleep well even when her dreams returned at midnight?
He had realized long ago that Qiao Xiguan clung to his bed not because of him, but because she was afraid, afraid of sleeping alone! Even when she slept beside him, he could distinctly feel her sudden twitches in the night, always seemingly alarmed.
What unspeakable horrors had Qiao Xiguan experienced during those three years in prison?!
Gu Zichen frowned.
