Having watched what must have been his umpteenth movie, Ling Tianyou's watch pointed to ten o'clock, Gu Ningyue finally couldn't resist her drowsiness any longer, her head nodding repeatedly, as she leaned on Ling Tianyou and fell asleep.
As he watched her sleep so peacefully and blissfully, Ling Tianyou reached out and touched her face, then scooped her up horizontally and carried her out of the room.
As he passed by his own room, Ling Tianyou hesitated briefly but didn't stop, instead placing Gu Ningyue on her bed.
After removing her shoes and tucking her into the bedding, Ling Tianyou glanced at her sleeping face, then left after closing the door.
As night deepened, Ling Tianyou dialed Mr. Chen's number.
The events of the day still lingered in his mind; he couldn't help but take them seriously, as if they hadn't happened.
