The worry and unease in her heart faded slightly, and she answered truthfully, "Couldn't sleep, so I went to the window for some fresh air."
Gu Chaohan asked in a low voice, "Got something on your mind?"
His voice was hoarse, sounding as if he had just woken up.
The bare upper body pressed tightly against her skin, Su Yan shifted uneasily, only to be held tighter by him.
"No..." she shook her head lightly, denying it.
Then, not knowing what to say, she chose to remain silent.
Gu Chaohan didn't ask further, and the spacious bedroom fell into a long, silent stillness.
His breathing gradually steadied, sounding as though he had fallen back asleep.
After a while, when she was sure he was truly asleep, Su Yan finally relaxed her taut body.
Her head rested on his chest, and her body gradually warmed up, no longer feeling cold as before.
Still, she couldn't summon any sleepiness and remained completely awake.
...
The sun rose, and the sky gradually brightened.
