Cuddling Makes It Better

"Pillow talk?" he asked finally giving her a glance. "Talking to pillows?"

Tianshi Xue's features all set into a thin line. "Nothing like that!" she said. "It's talking with your eyes closed while you're in bed. There's a lot of researches that proved it could help you sleep better."

"Because of the boringness? But of course."

"Are you willing to try it?"

Tianshi Xue persisted. "You have to at least try."
