Dugu Chen lay on the bed, eyes slightly narrowed in feigned sleep. In truth, he had detected Feng Xuxu's sudden disappearance the moment she vanished. He had not expected his little wife to have so many secrets yet to tell him.
After having rested enough in her space, Feng Xuxu emerged to find Dugu Chen still deep in sleep. She slowly returned to his side.
"Where did you go?" A voice tinged with mild exasperation echoed in the quiet room.
Feng Xuxu stiffened, turning her head robotically to look at Dugu Chen: "I...?"
"It's alright. Whenever you're ready to talk, we can talk." He reached out to touch her parted lips, gently enveloping her in his embrace.
In the dark room, Feng Xuxu's bright eyes, unblinking, gazed at him. Remembering all the little moments they shared, she suddenly laughed. What was she hesitating for? Closing her eyes, she took Dugu Chen's hand, and with a thought, they were both inside the space.
