The following morning, Ye Fan woke to find that he had, incredibly, also turned on his side and was holding Li Zhaojun's delicate body firmly in his arms.
"Ah..." Ye Fan sighed inwardly, realizing how weak his will was around Li Zhaojun.
Especially since he had allowed Li Zhaojun to help him with that last night, and she, always proud and aloof, agreed after only a moment's hesitation.
That made him quite a bit proud.
But along with the pride, he felt a bit heavy at heart.
Even as an emotional fool, he knew that Li Zhaojun had truly fallen in love with him.
As he carefully released Li Zhaojun to lie back straight, she woke up.
She gave Ye Fan a smile, then conscientiously let go of him and moved away to straighten up her body.
Ye Fan, however, didn't immediately lie straight. Instead, he remained on his side facing Li Zhaojun and said, feeling ashamed, "Last night..."
"Nothing happened last night," Li Zhaojun said calmly.
