Bai Su got home from a busy day at the lab. After washing up, she came out to find Yelias already in bed, peacefully reading a book. He had changed into his pajamas, clearly having washed up as well.
Bai Su froze for a moment, still not quite used to the schedule where Yelias and Lu Tingyan took turns spending the night with her.
She lifted the covers and rolled into his arms.
Yelias keenly sensed her mood. "Hm? What's wrong?"
His crisp, cool scent carried pleasant notes of cedarwood.
It was faint, but very comforting.
Her heart aching for him, Bai Su hugged him tightly. "Yelias..."
Her voice was a little hoarse.
Yelias confirmed that her spirits were indeed low and began to release calming pheromones. He wrapped the blanket around her back, bundling her up like a small child as he pulled her into his arms.
Bai Su snuggled securely into his embrace.
