Hotel.
Chu Zhengran's room.
Light filtered through the gap in the curtains, falling on the bed. Qin Xia turned over, and that beam of light happened to shine into her eyes.
She raised her hand to wave it away, but it didn't help, so she waved again, still uncomfortable.
Finally, she opened her eyes, wanting to see what had the audacity to interrupt her sleep.
Her eyes opened, looking at the beam of light, then at the dim room.
Qin Xia took a long time to realize where she was.
She thought back for a while but couldn't remember where she was; instead, she felt a hand on her abdomen.
Inside her robe, a hand pressed against her skin.
And! Furthermore! Only after did she realize there was clearly someone behind her!
A tall man who completely enveloped her in his arms.
Qin Xia's dazed expression instantly turned to sheer terror, her pupils trembling, every hair on her body stood on end.
