The bedroom was very quiet.
Xie Yanci did not force the covers away. He simply sat quietly beside the bed, his long fingers gently stroking Xu Shi's hair.
Xu Shi said nothing. Only soft sobs remained by his ears.
After considering for a few seconds, Xie Yanci coaxed softly, "Don't you want to let your husband pamper you?"
Only after a long while did movement come from beneath the covers.
Xu Shi rubbed his eyes and tugged the covers down a little, revealing a pair of watery, reddened eyes staring at Xie Yanci.
He looked utterly aggrieved.
"!"
Xie Yanci froze.
He had lost count of how many times his wife's beauty had stunned him.
He looked just like he had last night, crying and begging him to stop, the corners of his eyes red. There was no describing how seductive he looked.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and Xie Yanci forcibly swallowed all those filthy thoughts.
His long fingers gently brushed the reddened corners of his wife's eyes. His voice was a little hoarse. "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
Xu Shi lowered his head and gently nuzzled his fingertips.
Then he shook his head again without speaking.
He simply felt so happy.
Whenever he thought of Xie Yanci being there in every part of his future life, he felt especially happy.
Closing his eyes, he gently rested his cheek in Xie Yanci's palm. As he felt its burning warmth, drowsiness slowly crept over him again.
"Want to sleep," Xu Shi said.
"Then sleep a little longer. I'll stay here with you." Xie Yanci did not pull his hand away, letting his wife sleep against his palm just like that.
Outside the window, the sunshine was lovely, and the sheer curtains screened out the glaring light.
The room was very quiet.
