The next morning, soft sunlight had yet to filter through the sheer curtains, and the phone on the bedside continued to vibrate incessantly. The buzzing sound felt particularly jarring in the tranquil atmosphere.
Still lost in her dreams, Chi Mu Jiu furrowed her brows slightly, seemingly disturbed by the annoying vibrations. Her sleeping face was innocent and endearing, and the slight frown made one feel a pang of sympathy.
Beside her, Du Heng Yan swiftly reached for the vibrating phone, pressing and holding the power button before decisively swiping right to turn it off.
"I'm here, don't worry," he murmured in a deep, magnetic voice that carried a reassuring strength.
He pulled Chi Mu Jiu back into his embrace, his arm tightening gently around her. His hold was warm and solid, prompting her to instinctively nuzzle closer, seeking a more comfortable position as she drifted back into sweet slumber.
During the time spent beside Chi Mu Jiu, Du Heng Yan's sleep remained as light as ever. Even the slightest noise could rouse him instantly. He still couldn't fathom why he had slept so deeply during those two days abroad; perhaps it was due to a different state of mind or the change in environment.
Holding this little one close, he felt her steady breathing and warmth. He kept his gaze fixed on her until she woke up on her own.
As Chi Mu Jiu slowly opened her eyes, she found Du Heng Yan's deep and focused gaze upon her. He was studying her intently, as if trying to imprint every subtle expression into his memory.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked shyly, turning away from him and blushing faintly.
Du Heng Yan seemed pleased with her reaction; a slight smile curved his lips, revealing a hint of indulgence. He found this little one increasingly intriguing, always able to touch the softest strings of his heart with ease.
"I'll make breakfast. You can stay in bed a bit longer before getting up to eat."
Du Hengyan's voice was gentle and considerate, like the first breeze of dawn, softly brushing against the heart of Chi Mu Jiu.
"Mm."
Chi Mu Jiu obediently nodded, resembling a docile little cat.
Only after hearing her response did Du Hengyan rise and walk towards the wardrobe. He wore only a pair of casual shorts, his upper body bare, showcasing a smooth and powerful muscular physique. His broad shoulders and defined abs were striking.
Chi Mu Jiu found herself unconsciously drawn to him, captivated by the sight. Despite feeling shy, she thought to herself that it would be foolish not to take advantage of such a view. Her gaze lingered on him, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
"What do you think I should wear?"
Du Hengyan held two newly bought shirts from yesterday, comparing them with an inquisitive look in his eyes as he awaited Chi Mu Jiu's answer.
"With a body like yours, you could wear a rag and still look good."
Chi Mu Jiu was still admiring his abs when she casually replied.
"A rag won't do; it wouldn't cover the important parts."
Du Hengyan raised an eyebrow and smiled, his expression laced with teasing and a hint of mischief. He took the pure black shirt from the hanger.
"How about this one?"
Chi Mu Jiu's gaze remained fixed on him.
Du Hengyan didn't respond but instead smiled wider, clearly pleased. He walked into the bathroom with the shirt in hand, his tall figure making it hard for Chi Mu Jiu to look away.
"Hey? Where are you going? Aren't you just changing clothes?"
Chi Mu Jiu felt anxious, her voice tinged with dissatisfaction.
"There’s no one else here; why hide it?"
"If you want to see, just come in. I'll let you have a good look."
A deep, sultry voice drifted from the bathroom, laced with a hint of temptation.
Du Hengyan had deliberately left the door unlocked; he understood Chi Mujiu's nature all too well. After spending so many days together, Chi Mujiu had only dared to touch his abs, but anything beyond that was a leap she wasn't ready to take.
As expected, Chi Mujiu remained silent and didn't enter the bathroom. Though her heart raced with curiosity, she ultimately lacked the courage to act on it.
When Du Hengyan emerged from changing his clothes, Chi Mujiu was still lying on the bed. The black shirt he wore accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist perfectly. The slight opening at the collar revealed glimpses of his collarbone, a tantalizing sight that made one yearn to explore further.
Tsk tsk tsk, what a remarkable man!
