The morning sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a gentle warmth over the bedroom shared by Lin Yu and Zhou Yue. Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes to find Zhou Yue still fast asleep beside him, a serene smile lingering on her lips as the morning light outlined her soft features. He gazed at her quietly, his heart overflowing with happiness and peace. Reflecting on the hardships of the past and contrasting them with the stability of their present life, he marveled at the twists of fate and cherished everything before him all the more.
Lin Yu got up on tiptoe and headed to the bathroom to wash up. After a quick routine, he went to the kitchen to prepare a cozy breakfast for Zhou Yue. Expertly frying eggs and toasting bread, he soon filled the kitchen with the enticing aroma of food. Awakened by the savory scent, Zhou Yue stretched, slipped into her slippers, and made her way to the kitchen.
"Morning, darling," Zhou Yue said, gently wrapping her arms around Lin Yu from behind, her voice still laced with the pleasant drowsiness of just waking up.
