It wasn't long before Jin Zijin's footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs, he had arrived.
Gu Youyou was somewhat nervous, lying on the innermost side of the bed, wearing thin underclothes, and feigning sleep with her eyes closed.
Just like always, he lifted the covers and lay down beside her, nothing more than a hug, with no further advances.
Thus, the two of them awkwardly, stiffly maintained that position for quite a while.
In the end, it was Gu Youyou who couldn't bear it any longer and turned over to face him.
Her eyes wide open and, borrowing the moonlight, they were exceptionally bright.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?" Jin Zijin asked.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Gu Youyou retorted.
Jin Zijin was caught off guard by her question, feeling like her clear eyes were about to suck him in, making him feel uneasy all over.
He had to close his eyes to avoid looking at her.
He said, "I will sleep now."
Gu Youyou snorted with laughter, clearly sensing his embarrassment.
