Gu Shiting was startled awake. Seeing her in his arms, he didn't push her away; instead, he held her tighter.
She wasn't thin, but he had long arms and legs, so holding her didn't take any effort.
Her warm breath, with a hint of the scent of body wash, wafted to his nose, almost like a lullaby.
He drifted back into sleep.
That night, Gu Shiting slept exceptionally well. No nightmares, and he slept until dawn.
In the morning, Sheng Tang woke up first.
She got up to drink some water, disturbing Gu Shiting, who also woke up.
"Morning," he said softly.
Sheng Tang smiled, "Good morning."
She slipped out of Gu Shiting's arms, accidentally touching him with her hand.
She was startled, knowing that boys usually have a certain physical reaction in the morning, and she didn't want to embarrass Gu Shiting.
However, she didn't encounter what she had anticipated.
Gu Shiting looked at her with a confused expression, not understanding what was going on.
