When Qin Yuji opened her eyes, it was already past four in the afternoon.
The sun was setting in the west, its bright rays spilling through the floor-to-ceiling windows and flooding the bedroom. The furniture in the room, along with the family of four on the big bed, was all bathed in a layer of golden light.
Chi Jingxuan was still asleep, one hand resting on Da Bao's tiny foot peeking out of a swaddle.
The man's features were as handsome as they had been a year ago, but the cold and sharp air around him had softened considerably. His entire demeanor exuded the gentle refinement molded by time.
Qin Yuji simply gazed at him quietly, her heart enveloped in peace.
Time seemed to pass unknowingly until Chi Jingxuan turned over and opened his eyes, catching sight of Qin Yuji staring blankly at him.
"What are you thinking about?"
He reached out to touch her face but realized Da Bao and Xiao Bao were lying between them. Smiling, Chi Jingxuan withdrew his hand and sat up gently.
