Lu Xi struggled to get out of bed and put on her clothes.

She blinked her tired and dry eyes, yawned, and tried to squeeze out some tears to relieve the discomfort in her eyes.

She didn't sleep well.

Lu Xi stared blankly at the patterns on the bedsheet, with a tuft of unruly hair standing on top of her head.

It wasn't that she was attached to the bed, but her hand was injured. If she didn't exert force, it was fine. But once she used a little force with her right hand, the pain would instantly wake her up. Lu Xi had to maintain the same position throughout the night. However, she was restless after falling asleep and often tossed and turned, accidentally pressing on her hand and waking up again.

She sat on the bed with an empty mind for a while before slowly getting out of bed and walking out of the room.

The room outside was quiet, empty, and devoid of people. The curtains in the living room were not drawn, allowing sunlight to filter through the window and onto the floor. Lu Xi squinted and saw tiny specks of dust floating in the air.

She idled in the living room for a while and couldn't help but tiptoe to Wen Qingmo's bedroom door.

The villa was too quiet, so quiet that Lu Xi began to suspect that Wen Qingmo had not just not woken up but had already left.

After hesitating for a while, she raised her hand and lightly knocked on the door three times.

No one responded.

Lu Xi knocked a few more times.

Still, there was no response.

Could it be that Wen Qingmo had really left?

With this thought in mind, Lu Xi suppressed the doorknob and pushed the door open.

The blanket was slightly bulging, and Wen Qingmo was lying flat on the bed, still sound asleep.

Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Last night, Wen Qingmo half-awake, half-asleep, held her hand and asked her to stay, so she naturally stayed.

However, Lu Xi felt too embarrassed to take the initiative to sleep in the same bed as Wen Qingmo, even though she did have some thoughts. So after covering Wen Qingmo with the blanket, Lu Xi found a random room to sleep in.

Lu Xi slowly walked to the edge of the bed and looked down at Wen Qingmo's sleeping face.

Wen Qingmo was completely unaware of her arrival, breathing steadily and calmly. The white blanket rose and fell with his breath, and a few strands of messy black hair scattered on his smooth forehead. Wen Qingmo's face was calm, even with a hint of cleverness.

Lu Xi thought to herself that she should probably wake him up now.

Just as Lu Xi bent down and approached Wen Qingmo, about to reach out and pat his shoulder, Wen Qingmo's eyelids suddenly twitched a few times, and then he unexpectedly opened his eyes.

Lu Xi froze in place, holding her breath. Wen Qingmo's dark eyes still carried a hint of confusion from just waking up. He blinked a few times, gradually focusing his gaze and becoming more alert. He then realized that Lu Xi was right in front of him, and his eyes filled with surprise, instinctively preparing to sit up.

At the same time, Lu Xi quickly straightened up and took a few steps back, avoiding a collision with Wen Qingmo's forehead. She also realized the awkwardness of her previous position.

But it wasn't her fault!

Clearly, it was Wen Qingmo who woke up at an inappropriate time!

Lu Xi clenched her fists tightly, looking at Wen Qingmo with a complicated expression. She blurted out, "I didn't want to kiss you."
