Huo Yuhao woke up again, already back in the dormitory.
As he looked at the familiar dormitory ceiling and turned his head, he found himself facing Wang Dong'er's lovely face.
The midday sunlight streamed through the window and into the room, its diffused glow lending Wang Dong'er's already stunning features an even more ethereal, sacred air.
In the scattered light, Huo Yuhao could even make out the fine down on Wang Dong'er's face.
At that moment, Wang Dong'er was merely propping her chin on her elbow, her eyes closed as faint, almost imperceptible puffs of breath came from her nose.
This girl seemed to have fallen asleep.
Carefully lifting Wang Dong'er into his arms, Huo Yuhao wrapped the blanket around them both, intending to catch up on some more sleep.
Seeing the glistening drool at the corner of Wang Dong'er's mouth beneath the covers, Huo Yuhao's breathing quickened. Gathering his courage, he gently kissed the corner of her soft, delicate lips.
The instant that familiar sensation reached him, Wang Dong'er's big eyes flew open. She blinked at him, a captivating flush spreading across her face.
"Not bad. Pretending to sleep and tricking me into making a mistake—is this how you test Shrek's future Pavilion Master?"
Huo Yuhao immediately understood what had happened. He viciously kissed Wang Dong'er a few more times before shamelessly accusing her first.
"You're shameless!"
Wang Dong'er wanted nothing more than to kick Huo Yuhao off the bed. She had only woken up when Huo Yuhao picked her up—she had not been pretending to sleep!
If Huo Yuhao had not leaned in to kiss her, she would have been too embarrassed to wake up at all!
"Shameless it is, then."
Huo Yuhao chuckled and tugged the blanket with his right hand, covering both their heads beneath it.
