Xie Xiao was instantly quieted by a kiss.
He was very easy to appease.
Eventually, Luo Yanran, wearing Xie Xiao's pajamas, lay next to him in bed.
Both of them smelled of the same brand of shower gel.
Luo Yanran felt that Xie Xiao was unexplainably clingy today, though she wasn't sure if it was because he had been drinking.
At the moment, the lights were off, but they were still holding each other.
Xie Xiao buried his face in her neck and, although he didn't speak, Luo Yanran knew he was awake.
Luo Yanran's voice became tender as she gently stroked his head, "What's wrong? You seem a bit down."
Xie Xiao hummed in acknowledgment. His mood was possibly affected by memories of his past life.
He quietly repeated to Luo Yanran the story of Liu Zhu asking for his help.
After hearing it, Luo Yanran was stunned and fell into a long silence.
She had no idea who Liu Zhu was.
