After getting into bed, lulled to sleep by Chen Yuan's kiss, Jiangg Ning was soon sound asleep, her arms wrapped around his. She lay slightly on her side with her legs tucked, her cheek sinking into the soft pillow.
The afternoon was quiet.
A sliver of faint sunlight pierced through a gap in the curtains, spilling onto one side of the floor.
At first, Chen Yuan stared intently at the sliver of sunlight, trying to stay awake. But he had a habit of taking afternoon naps, and soon, a wave of drowsiness began to creep over him. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier until his willpower finally crumbled against the overwhelming urge to sleep.
It was like a switch flipped.
The world went dark, just as if someone had turned off the lights, and everything became so tranquil.
It felt as if a light veil were brushing against his face, coming and going. His mind settled, and all his scattered thoughts vanished.
Time ticked by, second by second, minute by minute.
