The bedroom was not lit, and Xu Fan gently closed the door, locking it behind him.
He didn't want anyone to interrupt what was to come.
Through the night outside the window, he could vaguely see that Mu Qingyan was lying in bed, though it was unclear if she had already fallen asleep.
"Qingyan?"
Xu Fan walked to the side of the bed and softly called out.
No response!
Had she already fallen asleep?
He thought about how putting Duoduo to bed had taken quite a bit of time; perhaps Qingyan had fallen asleep waiting for him.
"Qingyan, I'm up here now, okay?"
This time, keeping his voice low, Xu Fan called out again.
Still no answer.
Well, that must be considered tacit approval.
Xu Fan nodded to himself, then lifted the blanket and slid underneath.
The bed and blankets, warmed by Mu Qingyan, were cozy and carried a hint of a woman's fragrance. Lying in the blanket, Xu Fan naturally inched closer to Mu Qingyan.
"Qingyan, time to wake up, there's work to do."
