Leng Zirui gently closed his eyes, allowing his mind to empty for a moment.
Tomorrow is very crucial; he indeed needs to properly rest to handle the matters of tomorrow.
Xu Xia leans against his chest but keeps her eyes open, not sleeping.
She slept the whole afternoon and half the night before, so she has slept quite a bit. Now, fully awake and not at all sleepy, she listens to the relaxed breathing of Leng Zirui beside her. She quietly lifts her face to observe his expression; under the dim light, she can see his long eyelashes drooping, breathing steadily, he truly seems asleep.
She dares not move and doesn't sleep, simply watching him silently, listening to his breathing.
In the latter half of the night, she doesn't plan to sleep because she has decided to keep vigil for him, just like Leng Zirui did for her that one night, allowing him to rest peacefully.

Suburban Rome.
