Su Li waited on the sofa. Perhaps it was the exhaustion of the past few days and the emotional roller coaster that had overwhelmed her, or perhaps it was the rare sense of relaxation brought on by the quiet atmosphere; either way, she fell asleep against the sofa without realizing it.
Shen Ye walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles, only to see Su Li curled up and asleep on the sofa. Her long hair was draped loosely, with a few strands resting lazily against her cheek. Her face bore the relaxed look that follows deep fatigue, and her skin was as delicate as fine grease, appearing like a piece of jade meticulously carved by the heavens.
Shen Ye just stood there. Having never spent time alone with a girl before, he felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, but seeing her sleeping so soundly, he couldn't bear to wake her. Her light breathing was exceptionally clear in the quiet space. His gaze fell upon her face, and it felt as if time had stood still.
