But...
Thinking she had to get up for work tomorrow, he eventually gave up.
Xiao Lijin hardly slept well that night.
The hardest part must have been the morning, as he watched her wake up; there was an indescribable beauty about her, a flavor that made him want to devour her all the more.
Even the tone of his voice changed when he spoke to her.
"Awake?"
Bai Qingzhu also sensed his odd behavior. As a doctor, she understood somewhat and immediately pushed him away before getting out of bed, saying,
"Hurry up, don't let anyone see you."
She just meant not to let people misunderstand their relationship, but to Xiao Lijin it sounded as if they were sneaking around.
Sneaking around?
Interesting.
As soon as Bai Qingzhu got up, she was all kinds of busy. It might have seemed like there wasn't much to do, but with a little bit here and a little bit there, time quickly passed until everyone was up.
