Xixi could feel his scorching breathe against her ears. An air of ambiguity filled between them.

Xixi let out a sigh of relief. She inched away from him running her fingers through her locks to pin them up.
"Leave it on the desk." Xixi heard the voice by her speaking up.
The attendant left hurriedly after placing the bowl of porridge on the bedside ivory table.
