After her bath, Xia Yinian lay on the bed, engrossed in reading a book.
She had finally found a pastime that suited her: reading medical books.
Surprisingly, reading medical books was even more interesting to her than novels.
The knowledge others found dry and boring, she read with the keen interest one might have for a romance novel, effortlessly.
She didn't realize how much time had passed or that a figure had appeared in her room.
Gu Lingqian looked at the girl lying on the bed, his eyes full of adoring amusement.
Her languid pose was so endearing it made someone want to hold her in the palm of their hand and protect her with all their heart.
His body suddenly tensed, and blood rushed to a particularly embarrassing spot. Gu Lingqian's breathing became erratic, and he quickly turned to leave.
The loud noise finally caught Xia Yinian's attention.
As she turned her head, she saw the tall man bump into the door with a loud thud.
