In the dead of night, when Xia Yunsheng woke up, she found that Cheng Yanzhi wasn't on the bed but on the floor—he had made a pallet to avoid disturbing her.
She thought he would seize every opportunity, like he used to, to act inappropriately towards her. But now, he seemed to have changed significantly.
She looked at him and realized he wasn't asleep, his dark eyes quietly fixed on her.
Xia Yunsheng froze for a moment, then raised her hand to check her watch, "It's already two o'clock. Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"You're leaving tomorrow. I wanted to look at you a little longer."
His words were filled with melancholy.
