The next day, as the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Jiang Muwan woke from her sleep and glanced at Gu Jiangnian beside her.
She moved slightly, turning to face him.
Just the slightest shift.
The man instinctively pulled her closer.
Jiang Muwan's clear eyes gazed at the man still deep in sleep, then she lifted her head slightly and kissed his lips.
Just as she was about to pull away, Mr. Gu's eyelids twitched slightly.
He half-opened his eyes and glanced at her.
Then, the hand that was on her waist slowly rose to the back of her head, pressing her forehead towards his stubbly chin. Mrs. Gu resisted with all her might, straining her neck back, but she couldn't escape Mr. Gu's clutches.
The short stubble on his face tickled her, intensely itchy.
She reached out and pushed his face away gently, weakly saying, "It tickles."
"That's what you get for not sleeping properly," Gu Jiangnian said, pressing her head toward his chest.
