Only after she had fallen asleep did the man with his eyes closed open them. He gazed at her silently, continuously... for a very long time...
...
Dawn arrived.
Hai Xiaotang had not enjoyed such a good sleep in a long time.
She woke up refreshed and opened her eyes, but Dongfang Yu was nowhere to be seen.
Hai Xiaotang washed up and headed downstairs, where she discovered that he was making breakfast. It truly surprised her that he was cooking again — he had cooked dinner for her yesterday and now he was making breakfast.
Hai Xiaotang felt spoilt by his attention.
Upon seeing that she had woken up, Dongfang Yu greeted her with a smile, "I just finished making breakfast. Come eat."
Hai Xiaotang took a seat and teasingly asked, "Why did you decide to cook? You only just recovered, you should be resting."
"I'm fine," said Dongfang Yu as he passed her the sliced bacon. "Have more, you've lost weight recently."
