Eventually, An Qi accidentally fell asleep leaning on Yan Qing, who paused his movements and smiled helplessly… If she sleeps with wet hair, she’ll have a headache in the morning.
Yan Qing lowered the wind speed, making his movements even gentler… Until her hair was dry, he carried her to bed. She kept clutching his clothes tightly until he managed to make her grip the blanket instead.
After settling An Qi, Yan Qing got up and left, gently closing the door.
— Somehow, these few hours, he felt truly happy… truly.
★ Chapter Thirty-Eight
It had been a long time since he’d had such an urge to take a cold shower…
Yan Qing lowered the water temperature to cool himself down. As the water flowed down his body, he gradually felt his mood calm.
After showering, Yan Qing draped a towel over his head, casually wearing loose clothing, and walked out to pour himself a cup of hot water… He wanted to maintain his gentleman-like demeanor, but after drinking a couple of sips, he couldn’t help but go upstairs and return to An Qi’s bedside.
An Qi was breathing steadily, seemingly sleeping deeply. The hair that Yan Qing had blown dry was now spread on the pillow, emitting a similar scent to his slightly damp hair.
Yan Qing first knelt halfway on the bed’s edge, supporting his chin with his hand… But he felt his leg going numb in this position quite quickly, even though he hadn’t been looking for long… He then sat on the bed’s edge, leaning down to bury his head in An Qi’s pillow, then tilting his head to look at her sleeping profile, just inches away.
… Maybe… slightly… wanting to secretly kiss her…
In the darkness, Yan Qing felt his face growing warm… He was probably blushing? Should he steal a kiss or remain a gentleman… Hmm, that’s a dilemma!
“…Mwah.”
After wrestling with the thought for nearly half an hour, Yan Qing touched An Qi’s forehead, then quickly buried his head in the pillow…
Okay, he’s someone who’s been reborn, so why is he acting like a “first-love teenager” with An Qi… This completely contradicts his character setting!
