Xie Ming was fast asleep due to medicines and weakness. Her long black hair was spread onto the pillow with her pale skin which was glowing in the radiance of the night coming from the window.

She was laying on her back on the one corner of the bed and was holding hands with Liwei because he literally begged her to sleep while holding hands and promised that he would not do anything else.

When Ming fell asleep, there is another person beside her who cannot fall asleep. He was waiting for her to sleep first. He turned to look at her when he felt her breathing which became uniform and calm.

He called her lightly, ” Xie Ming.” 

A mysterious smile painted on his lips when he confirmed that she is deep into her dreams and sleeping calmly. 

He was holding her hand with his one hand and turned to his side facing her and enchantingly looked at her glowing face which shined like a star in this dark night.

‘ Was she always this beautiful? How come I never feel this way before?’

He slowly withdrew his hand from hers and went close to her. He was about to touch her jade white face when she suddenly turned to her side and was facing him.

He got startled when she suddenly turned facing him but her eyes were closed and were sleeping. 

When she turned around her face was so close to his because he already decreased the distance between them and came to her side. Now their faces are almost touching each other.

Jin Liwei felt hot all over his body because he could feel her scorching breath on his face and was staring at those ripe peach lips in a daze. Even though they were a little dry and white but their taste was as sweet as honey.

He gulped when he looked at her from close and those cherry lips were calling out to him.

He gathered his courage and slowly reached to close the distance between their lips and sealed those dry lips with his moist lips.

When he kissed those dry but sweet lips he felt hot all over his body. He tried to be careful not to wake her up so he didn’t deepen the kiss but gently kissed her lips which made her moan lightly in the sleep.

He was startled when she made a noise and stopped in his actions but he didn’t part his lips away instead of blinked innocently. He opened his eyes to see that she was still sleeping.

She didn’t open her eyes and she made that noise while sleeping.

Liwei: ” -_- “

He suddenly couldn’t contain his gentlemanly image and felt the urge to eat right now. But it was not the right time to do so as she was sick and they can’t jump to the next step so soon.

Though he wanted to do so however, he knows that Xie Ming won’t allow him to do so.

He finally parted from her lips after giving it a last lick and kissed the tip of her nose.

He sighed because he wanted to go further but what if she never let him touch her?

Then he looked at her sleeping face and then smiled slyly.

He gets into the blankets that Xie Ming was using and stretched his leg towards her and a faint smile appeared on his lips when his toes touched her ankle which was soft like a feather.

He stretched his hand, and held onto her waist, started exploring her curves. His hands trailed on her back, her waist.

She was wearing a set of pajamas in which Yu Mei changed her before the doctor comes and when she fainted. 

He was trailing his hands all over her body and was feeling her curves over the pajamas.

When he looked at her face again and noticed that she was peacefully sleeping, he smiled and slid his cold hand under her pajama top and when it touched her skin which was warm, she lightly shuddered at the sudden coldness and shrank a little.

Liwei’s hand froze in the air when she suddenly groaned due to coldness and shrunk which resulted in her to snuggle deep in his neck.

Liwei was startled and was having difficulty breathing because she suddenly came to a close and it was already hard for him to control and with her behaving like this, how could he have a peaceful sleep?

But she still didn’t wake up. Her eyelids were too heavy to open and woke up. Liwei smiled at her cute expressions that she was making while sleeping.

 When his hands touched her smooth silky skin, an electric shock emerged inside him and he was filled with a burning passion. He kept caressing her legs with his toes and her bareback with his hands. 

Then he reached his hand to her face and lightly brushed her nose, cheeks with his fingers and it came to halt when his fingers reached to those dry lips.

He was caressing her back with his hands and wanted to go further but he knows his limits, so he sighed and pulled his hand out before he could forget his limits.

It was getting uncomfortable for him down there and his body was burning like fire.

He looked at her and laughed lightly, ‘ How can she slept like a log. She didn’t even tried to open her eyes. So many things happened to her but she is sleeping.  Though It’s good for me.’ but a sudden realization hit him making his expressions froze.

‘I will make sure that she will not sleep in front of others, especially “men”. She won’t even know if someone takes advantage of her while sleeping ‘.

Then he held her waist tightly and pulled her towards him and tried to sleep.

…

In the morning, she woke up at her usual time, early in the morning. She didn’t open her eyes, but when she tried to move her body it felt stiff and something heavy on her. And her pillow was also different. It was hard but comfortable.

Then she slowly opened her eyes, and his bare muscled chest came in her sight. She was startled seeing the view in front of her.

He was wearing a shirt whose few buttons were opened which gave her the view of his bare muscled chest.

Xie Ming swallowed in nervousness seeing him so close. She realized that they were hugging while sleeping. 

Her face turned crimson red, ‘ We were just holding hands last night. How did it become like this?

She stretched her head to look up when his beautifully carved face, under the sunlight of the morning, his face was brightening and was looking more charming and handsome came into her vision.

While she was busy admiring his beauty, a realization hit her, she looked down and she almost jumped out of the bed. They were close. Too close. She could feel his hot breath over her head.

He was hugging her tightly, his hand were used as her pillow and the other one was on her waist. 

She was embarrassed seeing their sleeping posture and tried to calm her heart which was beating crazily.

Then she slowly gets out of the bed, at her movement he started groaning. She chuckled at his childish behavior. She pulled the pillow and placed it in his arms.

He went to sleep again. Seeing him sleep so peacefully, she felt pleased and happy.

‘ Looks like my happy days has finally come.’ she smiled and went to the bathroom to wash up and after taking a shower she came outside wearing a peach-colored dress with a towel wrapped on her head.

She removed the towel from her hair and started drying them with blowers whose noise caused Liwei to woke up.

When he sleepily opened his eyes and turned to his sides, but he got startled when he didn’t found her beside him

When he did not find Xie Ming he sat up as he was shocked to not find her on the bed.

 He heard the sound of the dryer and turned to look at towards the vanity table and saw Xie Ming who was blow-drying her hair.

Her silky black hair was flowing in the air and was looking beautiful and he could not move his eyes away from her. 

Her face was looking fresh as the dew of the early morning because she just had a shower and her face was also slightly red and fresh. Her dress looks pretty on her.

 He recognized the dress and it was the dress that he bought the other day. 

He felt really happy seeing her wearing the dress given by him.

When Xie Ming saw him, looking at her from the mirror, she chuckled and said, ” stop staring already. I am going downstairs to make breakfast. Go and take a shower first and then we’ll have breakfast together. Okay?”

At this his eyes shone, he went to her side hurriedly and hugged her from behind, put his head on the nape of her neck and said: “Okay my highness”.

When she heard the word ‘highness’, her expressions froze because many distressed memories were attached to this word. 

Liwei noticed her blank face and asked, “What’s wrong?”.

 ” Ah.. nothing. Go and take a shower,” she said while pacifying her emotions.

Liwei nodded and entered the bathroom while Xie Ming shook her head and went downstairs.
