Fearing Yu Qi might catch a cold, Long Hui moved with practised gentleness, carefully lifting her upright against his chest. He used a soft towel to thoroughly dry her hair, ensuring not a single drop of moisture remained.
Once satisfied, he expertly swapped her damp bathrobe for a set of soft, comfortable pyjamas.
Only after ensuring she was completely cosy and taken care of did Long Hui gently lay her back against the pillows, pulling the duvet over her shoulders as she continued to sleep peacefully.
...
The weekend finally arrived. Yu Qi worked late into the night before heading home, so utterly exhausted that she slept like a log.
The next morning, Yu Qi woke up feeling unusually refreshed. She slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds. Her body felt warm and comfortable, and she could not remember when she had fallen into such a deep sleep. She turned her head and noticed that Long Hui was still sleeping beside her.
