In the Imperial Capital, it rained heavily in the latter half of the night, clearing up only by the next morning.
The curtains slowly opened, and the bright sunlight spilled onto the large bed, adding a rosy hue to the face of the young girl that still appeared somewhat pale.
Xi Jiu had spoken all night, and his voice was now hoarse. He leaned against Ruan Qi for about ten minutes before sitting up from the bed.
He walked into the bathroom, brushed his teeth with a new toothbrush he bought last night, and quickly washed his face. After tidying himself up, he dampened a towel with warm water and returned to the bedside.
"Baby, it's time to get up."
The girl on the bed kept her eyes closed and didn't respond to him.
Yet Xi Jiu seemed like he'd already heard her reply, a smile tugging at his lips as he bent down to sit beside her.
"If you don't want to get up, how about I help you wash your face?"
Xi Jiu gently and skillfully wiped the girl's face with the warm towel.
