Su Nian, clutching a hot water bottle, found the night temperature here rather low, making it comfortable enough to fall asleep shortly after.
Shen Hanxiu was worried she'd have another sleepless night in pain. He relaxed only after seeing she had fallen asleep, and even lightened his movements as he crawled into the blanket, gently holding her from behind.
The next day, gentle sunlight sprinkled over the small town. Su Nian lazily opened her eyes, the sunshine and the sound of water lapping against the shore putting her in an exceptionally good mood.
Turning her head, she saw Shen Hanxiu's handsome face, which brightened her mood even further.
She turned over, studying his gentleness at the moment, guessing she would probably receive a scowl when he woke.
After staring for five minutes, Su Nian couldn't resist anymore and began to playfully poke his nose.
The man immediately opened his eyes, grabbed her hand with a slight frown, his eyes sharp.
