The bed was huge, so even if she lay in the middle, there was plenty of space left next to her.
However, only her head was poking out of the covers, and he could still see her bright eyes swiveling in the darkness, her gaze gentle, beautiful, and crafty.
“I won’t do anything else.” Wei Zilin added, “I swear on my principles.”
If she denied him even after he said that, then she would come off as being too evasive.
That was why she wriggled a small distance away while still wrapped in the blankets like a caterpillar.
She did not speak because she simply could not bring herself to invite him in.
However, Wei Zilin caught her drift anyway. He was so happy that his face lit up with a smile, and he hurriedly peeled away the covers, crawling in.
His sleepwear had turned cold in the chilly air outside, and when he peeled away the covers, the cold outside snuck inside as well.
Xu Moyan had grown used to the warmth beneath the covers, so this sudden chill made her shudder.
Wei Zilin lay there for a moment without moving, and he did not approach Xu Moyan either. On the other hand, Xu Moyan was completely stiff and too nervous to move. She wondered, was Wei Zilin really going to sleep so stiffly all night?
Wei Zilin smelled clean and fresh after his bath, and she could catch whiffs of that fragrance. He smelled completely unlike her, and the scene was extremely unfamiliar to her.
When there was someone lying beside you, the smallest movement would affect both parties. That was why Xu Moyan did not dare to budge an inch.
She closed her eyes, but she could not fall asleep. She tried her hardest to relax, but just when it was starting to work, Wei Zilin suddenly moved next to her.
He stretched his arm over and pulled her into his embrace. Meanwhile, he pressed in closer to her, such that there was no distance between them at all.
By then, his body had warmed up, and she did not feel cold even in his embrace.
Xu Moyan fancied that she knew why Wei Zilin had stayed motionless earlier.
As expected, she heard Wei Zilin explain, “When I first came in, my body was chilly. I didn’t want you to catch a cold, so I stayed away for a bit.”
In the pitch-black chill of the rainy night, his warm voice was enough to drive away the cold and heat up her entire body.
Xu Moyan’s face was still pressed against his chest, and she did not raise her head. Suddenly, she felt a warm and soft touch on her forehead.
“Sleep,” said Wei Zilin in his slightly hoarse voice.
Xu Moyan was slightly stunned. So he really did not plan to do anything. Once she knew that, she did not know if she should heave a sigh of relief or feel slightly disappointed.
After that, she just snuggled into his chest, looking for a comfortable sleeping position.
However, Wei Zilin’s voice sounded even tauter as he said by her ear, “Don’t move anymore. I won’t do anything, but you shouldn’t tempt me like that either.”
Xu Moyan, “…”
Was she tempting him?
Wei Zilin held her waist and plastered himself against her body tightly. In an instant, Xu Moyan was rendered speechless and motionless.
Wei Zilin’s scalding-hot palm moved slowly up and down her back, his voice rife with a tautness that she understood all too well. “Go to sleep. Good night.”
“Good night,” Xu Moyan said softly.
He kissed her ear, and everything from her ears to her face turned as red as a tomato.
…
Every time she slept away from home, Xu Moyan tended to wake up extremely early.
The next morning, when Xu Moyan woke up, she was facing the window.
Before she knew it, the rain had stopped, and all that remained of it were dense traces of raindrops on the window. Although the window was closed, she could sense a sweet freshness just looking out of it.
The sunlight in the morning was not particularly warm, and it was just enough to illuminate the sky without shining in. Everything was covered in the moist coolness of dawn.
Xu Moyan found that her arms were locked down, and her back was plastered against a firm and scorching embrace. Her blurry mind cleared immediately, and she finally remembered that she had spent the night in Wei Zilin’s house– in his arms, no less.
Turning her head carefully, she saw that Wei Zilin’s long limbs surrounded her, and he kept her locked tightly in his embrace, as though she was his pillow.
He slept comfortably in such a position, but she felt a little uncomfortable. No wonder she kept feeling as though something was weighing on her as she slept, and no wonder she woke up so early.
In the past, even if she slept away from home, she would not wake up this early.
Looking around her, she could not find a clock anywhere, so she carefully reached out her hand, trying to grab her phone and check the time.
As soon as she moved, however, Wei Zilin sensed it. He held onto her even tighter until she could not reach out her hand however hard she tried.
By then, Wei Zilin had woken up as well, opening his eyes blearily. When he saw Xu Moyan lying in his arms, his mood was indescribably brightened. His entire heart quietened down, as though he was soaking in a hot spring.
It was peaceful and warm.
Like the moments of beauty left behind by the sands of time, it was blissful and serene.
He pulled Xu Moyan into his arms again, raising his head groggily and reaching over the kiss Xu Moyan on the lips. “Why d’you wake up so early?”
Xu Moyan never dreamed that she would one day sleep in the same bed as her idol, receiving a good morning kiss as soon as she woke up.
His voice in the morning, laced with hints of sleepiness, felt like she was blowing bubbles in a hot spring. Everything was simply perfect.
In fact, it was so perfect that her eyes moistened. She could not describe just how happy she was feeling right now.
“What time is it now?” Xu Moyan asked.
Wei Zilin finally loosened his grip on her, reaching out his hand to fumble the area beside their pillows. He grabbed a random phone, either his or hers, and glanced at the time. “It’s six.”
“Should we get up? We need to go back to my place, too,” Xu Moyan reminded him.
Wei Zilin rubbed his bristled face against hers for a while, scratching her face until it was numb and itchy.
“Let’s sleep for another half an hour,” Wei Zilin said. “Let me hug you like this for a bit longer.”
As he said that, he turned her around so she faced him, and then he pulled her close again.
By now, Xu Moyan could not sleep anymore. Still, Wei Zilin was holding her so tightly that she could not do anything but to obediently let him have his way.
However, Wei Zilin could not seem to fall asleep either. His hands wandered around her body somewhat mischievously, and when he found her lips, he kissed her.
It was a firm kiss, so tight that he did not want to waste even a second. It was only when Xu Moyan was feeling out of breath that he finally moved away, brushing his lips from the corners of her mouth all the way to her earlobes. He carefully explored every inch of her ears before he buried his face in her neck.
Xu Moyan was breathing heavily. His kisses made every part of her itch, and that was followed by a crazy feeling of weakness, such that she did not even have the strength to push him away. When she opened her mouth, she actually made a sound that was almost a sob.
By the time Wei Zilin was done rubbing against her, it was already half past six. He said they could sleep for another half hour, but he just kissed and caressed her for half an hour.
After that bout of intimacy, the covers had fallen off their bodies, and the cold of the morning darted all over their bodies, completely waking the two of them up.
Wei Zilin pecked at her lips before finally pulling her up.
Xu Moyan wanted to freshen herself up at the washroom next to them, but Wei Zilin pulled her to the one in his bedroom.
Although Wei Zilin did not sleep here, he had tussled around in his bed before going to her room.
He had not folded the sheets, either, so they were all rolled up in his bed. Xu Moyan could not help but imagine him tossing and turning in this bed last night.
After that, the two of them stood side by side in front of the washbasin. Xu Moyan did not know when he did it, but Wei Zilin had prepared toiletries for her and placed them right next to his.
It was as though he had planned this from the start.
Xu Moyan could not resist giving him a glance, raising her eyebrow the way he always did.
On the other hand, Wei Zilin smiled at her shamelessly, his brazenness a stark contrast from his usual air of calmness and restraint.
Xu Moyan was the first to burst out laughing. Giving him a little glare, she picked up her toothbrush, applied the toothpaste, and began to brush her teeth.
However, her little glare was already enough to seduce Wei Zilin. If she was not brushing her teeth right now, he would have long since pressed her against the wall.
He looked at the way Xu Moyan was wagging her tail triumphantly, and he immediately knew that she had done that on purpose.
She was brushing her teeth now so he could not do anything, and that was why she purposely hooked him with a gaze.
Something flashed across Wei Zilin’s warm eyes, and he decided that he would make her pay for that once she was done brushing her teeth.
With that in mind, he picked up his toothbrush as well and squeezed some toothpaste onto it.
When Xu Moyan lowered her head to wash her mouth, she did not pay attention to what Wei Zilin was doing.
By the time she replaced her toothbrush and cup, just as she was straightening up, she was already pinned against the wall, her back pressing against the slightly cool surface of the wall. Before she could say anything, Wei Zilin was already kissing her forcefully, exchanging the coolness of the mint in his mouth with hers. It felt completely unlike their previous kisses; this time, it was quite new and different.
Finally, Wei Zilin licked his lips, satisfied, before saying, “The toothpaste at my place tastes great.”
Xu Moyan, “…”
Since Xu Moyan had not brought any of her make-up products over, she had no choice but to stay bare-faced. She even had to temporarily borrow Wei Zilin’s men’s facial wash to wash her face.
That was why she completed her routine faster than Wei Zilin did. By the time she was done, Wei Zilin was just done applying his shaving foam and was now shaving his face.
