SLEEPING BEAUTY

Hu Lei woke up in the middle of the night. She crawled out of the warmth of Zhong Feng's arms and left the room. She was hungry and thirsty. She did not plan on looking for food in a stranger's home, but she needed a glass of water.

When she reached the bottom of the stairs, her eyes drifted to the doorway that seemed to lead to the basement. The entrance was closed, but she could see some light flowing through the gaps around the door. She stopped on the last step and stared at that door for a while. 

She knew that she should move along. Her best choice was finding a glass of water and returning to bed. However, she could not let it go. Her curiosity towards the owner of the house was overwhelming. 

Perhaps, that curiosity arose from the fact that he did not satisfy her expectations. She did not know if she had hoped for a bona fide villain. But she had never thought that the man hiding in the shadows was a young man with a gentle voice.
