We're all adults here, there's no need for any useless soul-cleansing talk.
After a late-night snack, Liu Xin'an kicked Li Chenglu out and hurried to tidy up.
Bae Juhyun mustn't find out about this sneaky midnight snack, or she'd definitely make a fuss.
Of course, he also didn't want Bae Juhyun to know about his current worries.
The girl already had a lot of pressure in her daily life, and he didn't want to add any unnecessary burden.
After throwing away what needed to be thrown away and brushing his teeth again, Liu Xin'an snuck back into Bae Juhyun's bedroom.
Just as he had anticipated, Bae Juhyun hadn't woken up, still maintaining her earlier posture.
He carefully lay down and gently placed her soft, boneless hand back into his palm.
"Mmm..."
Bae Juhyun murmured in her sleep, instinctively snuggling closer to him.
As she inhaled the familiar and comforting scent, a satisfied smile finally appeared on her face.
