Perhaps the aroma of the wine was too strong, and his lips too cool; when the kiss descended, it caused the sleeping Ye Lingran to stir slightly. Startled, Yun Qi quickly lifted his head, watching her intently. However, the Ye Lingran beneath him did not open her eyes, merely letting out a soft hum as if slightly displeased by this 'disturbance', then turned over to continue sleeping.
Watching her sleeping form, Yun Qi couldn't help but smile. He wasn't worried about waking her and being discovered, just a bit reluctant to disturb her slumber.
He gently stroked her cheek once more, reminiscing about the lingering warmth on his lips. There was a sense of longing, yet he made no further moves. Instead, he got up, walked around the foot of the bed, turned off the main light in the room, lifted the quilt, and lay down on the other side, watching her pretty face at such close proximity. Suddenly, he felt that sleeping like this wasn't so bad.
