It Was So Sweet

After Raelle was done with her nightly routine, she got under the blanket with her eyes focused on Shui Xian. Well, this had been going on for a while now. Shui Xian could tell that she wanted to question him but she wasn't doing so. She usually didn't hold herself back like this so it was kind of amusing to see her struggling on her own.

The reason why he was trying to pretend like he couldn't see the questions in her eyes was simple. He knew once she asked those questions, it'd be like breaking the boundaries she had built for herself. And he really wished to see whether she'd be able to knock down those boundaries.

By the time Shui Xian came to lie down on his side of the bed and turned off the lights, she still hadn't opened her mouth to question anything. However, just as he pulled her towards himself and embraced her from behind, she finally parted her lips.

"I have something to ask you."
