No doubt about it, she stayed up late studying again last night.
Walking to the bedside, Shen Li bent down, one hand in his pocket, the other gently ruffling Shen Xingchen's hair, "Wake up."
His voice was soft and tender, but Shen Xingchen didn't hear a thing. She kept sleeping as deeply as ever.
"Shen Xingchen."
"Shen Xingchen."
At some point, Shen Li had started using her full name whenever he called her.
But even after calling her name repeatedly, Shen Xingchen still didn't wake up. Shen Li simply pulled out the nearby chair, sat down, and prepared for a long battle.
Quietly watching her as she lay face-down on the bed in deep sleep, Shen Li's lips curled into a faint smile.
Next, he brushed the strands of hair that had fallen across her face aside.
At that moment, Shen Xingchen's eyes fluttered open ever so slightly.
But just as quickly as she opened them, seeing Shen Li by her bedside, she closed her eyes again.
"..." Shen Li.
