The face Shen Nian saw right before her eyes was, of course, Lu Cheng's.
After getting a clear look at his face, Shen Nian quickly realized something else. She was still in bed, but somehow, Lu Cheng had come in without her knowing and was now lying beside her.
More importantly, Lu Cheng had pulled her into his arms, just like that night in the dormitory.
Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng's closed eyes and steady breathing. She knew he must have already fallen asleep.
Even though her consciousness had been in the "space" earlier, she could still hear any commotion from the outside world.
And yet, she hadn't sensed his arrival at all. This could only mean that after finding her "asleep" in bed, Lu Cheng had deliberately moved as quietly as possible, afraid he would wake her.
In fact, her consciousness in the space hadn't even detected the sequence of his actions—getting into bed and pulling her into his embrace.
