Gu Lingqian, of course, knew what was on the girl's mind. His large palm slowly raised behind her, coming to a stop at her lower back as he slightly inclined his head downward.
This motion was akin to him wrapping his arms around the girl, caressing her hair with a kiss.
But Gu Lingqian did not follow through with the kiss, nor did his large hand truly make contact with Xia Yinian.
Eyes closed, he took a deep breath and completely reined in his emotions.
"Alright, if you're really that tired, get some rest early. See you tomorrow."
No sooner had he spoken than Gu Lingqian pulled open the room door.
"See you tomorrow!"
Xia Yinian looked up at the man who had just stepped out, her face beaming with a smile, showing none of the tiredness from before.
Just as Gu Lingqian stepped out of the room, he suddenly turned around, pulled Xia Yinian into his embrace, and kissed her forehead.
