章 181: Morning Kiss

Gu Zi awoke feeling exceptionally rested that night. Surprisingly, she hadn't kicked off the blanket in her sleep, although she couldn't recall how many times the man had covered her throughout the night.

"Su Shen, did you rest well last night?" She lay still upon waking, sensing the warmth of his breath beside her, causing her body to tense involuntarily.

Glancing sideways, she observed him under the soft, dim light. The man rested on his arm, lost in thought.

His hands, dry and slender, displayed distinct joints and visible veins on their backs.

Meeting Gu Zi's gaze, he swiftly rose and pinned her down, reaching out to tilt her chin with his slightly rough fingers, sending a tingling sensation through her.

"You slept soundly," he replied, before leaning in to nervously claim her slightly parted lips. His forceful intrusion with his tongue conveyed an untamed fervor, as if he sought to steal her breath away.
