But Huo Jihan continued to persuade him, "It's fine, go to sleep."

To be honest, Huo Jihan's voice was truly soothing, deep and magnetic, like the strings of a cello being plucked.

In the quiet comfort of the car, his voice brought a sense of calm, making Lin Yi relax and drift off to sleep.

Just as a red light appeared.

Huo Jihan stepped on the brake and turned to look at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was already breathing lightly, his head leaning toward Huo Jihan, his bangs softly falling, and his sleeping face peaceful.

His face was exceptionally delicate, especially his fluttering eyelashes, each one long and fine.

Below were his perfectly proportioned nose and crimson lips.

The occasional headlights from outside illuminated Lin Yi's face, making it even more striking.

Huo Jihan gazed at Lin Yi for a long time.

The lights outside flickered, casting shadows that seemed to mimic heartbeats.

When the green light finally came on, Huo Jihan started the car again.

When Lin Yi woke up again, it was already past nine o'clock the next morning.

He sat up in bed, somewhat at a loss.

How did he end up in bed?

The last thing he remembered from last night was sitting in the car.

Could it be that Huo Jihan carried him out of the car and brought him back to his bedroom?

Imagine Huo Jihan carrying him all the way into the villa, then into his bedroom, gently laying him on the bed, and even helping him take off his coat and shoes...

As for how Lin Yi knew Huo Jihan's movements were gentle, it was because he didn't wake up throughout the process!

It was a mystery how Huo Jihan managed it, but Lin Yi slept soundly and without a care.

Lin Yi: "..."

This is a bit awkward.

Lin Yi sat on the bed, feeling awkward for a few seconds.

But soon, he let it go.

Forget it; as long as he doesn't feel awkward, it's someone else's problem.

Lin Yi got out of bed decisively and went to wash up. After freshening up, he walked out of the bedroom with a clear mind.

Just as he stepped out, he coincidentally ran into Huo Jihan coming from the study.

Lin Yi: "..."

It's still a bit awkward.

After a few seconds of silence, he greeted Huo Jihan calmly, "Hi, Mr. Huo, good morning!"

Huo Jihan responded, "Good morning."

Today was Sunday, so Huo Jihan didn't need to go to the company and wore a set of iron-gray loungewear, looking more casual than usual.

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before bringing up last night, thanking Huo Jihan, "By the way, was it you who carried me upstairs last night? Thanks."

Huo Jihan looked at him, his voice gentle, "You're welcome."

Lin Yi added, "I hope I didn't cause any trouble after I fell asleep?"

Huo Jihan seemed interested, "Like what?"

Lin Yi gave an example, "Like talking in my sleep or something."
