The firm, searing warmth of his body cut right through her coat, fiercely driving away the bone-chilling cold that coiled around her.
The "What are you doing?" forming deep in Li Zhi's throat caught, as if melted away by the sudden rush of warmth.
The thought of struggling flashed through her mind for only an instant before being completely submerged by an indescribable sense of comfort.
The cold seemed to be driven out in an instant. Her entire body felt toasty, as if she were soaking in a warm bath, and even the lingering chill in her fingertips was quickly smoothed away by the heat.
'So a person's body heat can be this... comfortable.'
Her stiff body shifted slightly. She didn't pull away; she forgot to even put up a token struggle.
Instead, she shifted slightly to nestle more comfortably into the brief, tight embrace.
Through the layers of fabric, she could almost feel the steady, powerful thrum of his heartbeat against her cheek.
