Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Her Waist Suddenly Tightened

After sitting and watching until he grew tired, he lay on his side, resting his head on his hand to continue reading.

When his arm grew tired, he lowered it and lay completely on the pillow to keep reading.

An opportunity like this, where he could openly look at her without her getting annoyed, was indeed rare.

However, Zhou Shuyan was tired too. While watching, he didn’t even realize when he had fallen asleep.

Lu Youxi woke up to the sound of a rooster crowing outside.

But based on her experience, the rooster should have crowed earlier. It was just that her sleep was so deep that not even thunder could wake her up.

Lu Youxi was just beginning to wake up and didn’t notice anything unusual yet, only feeling an unusual warmth all over her body.

Moreover, the familiar scent with each breath was comforting.

In Hexing Village, temperatures were much lower than in the Imperial Capital, especially during nights and early mornings.

But at this moment, Lu Youxi was enveloped in warmth, feeling extremely comfortable, and subconsciously snuggled closer to the source of the warmth.

Suddenly, her waist was tightly gripped.

Her head was nuzzled a couple of times.

Before Lu Youxi could fully react, she heard a sleepy, husky voice from above her head, "Let’s sleep a bit longer."

His voice was warm and coaxing, sounding incredibly indulgent.

"Mhm," Lu Youxi naturally responded.

Perhaps because she was not fully awake yet, Lu Youxi’s voice was slightly hoarse and even a bit coy.

But just after responding, she suddenly froze, fully waking up.

Lu Youxi’s eyes shot open, and the first thing she saw was a man’s skin.

She was completely stunned, so close in fact, that she couldn’t clearly make out what part of the man she was looking at.

As she blinked in shock, her eyelashes lightly brushed against Zhou Shuyan’s Adam’s apple, tickling him and causing him to chuckle, his Adam’s apple vibrating.

A low, husky laugh vibrated out from his throat.

At this point, without needing to see clearly, Lu Youxi knew her face was pressed against Zhou Shuyan’s neck.

The two of them fit together so well, as if they were meant to complete each other.

Her forehead was pressed against his neck, and his chin fit perfectly on top of her head.

With every breath, she inhaled the fragrance from Zhou Shuyan’s skin.

Lu Youxi’s mind was completely muddled, her brain seemingly exploding.

"Zhou... Zhou Shuyan..." Lu Youxi’s body stiffened, and she dared not move, her voice hoarse, shocked, and rigid.

Unexpectedly, when she spoke, her lips were pressed tightly against Zhou Shuyan’s collarbone hollow.

She even lightly tasted his skin.

Above Lu Youxi’s head, Zhou Shuyan’s breathing suddenly roughened, his Adam’s apple sliding rapidly and noticeably under her lips.

Lu Youxi couldn’t have imagined such a stimulating start to her morning. She didn’t even know how she had ended up so close in Zhou Shuyan’s arms.

Both were lying on their sides, hugging each other in a position that seemed all too natural.

Lu Youxi hurriedly tried to move back, but found she couldn’t.

Zhou Shuyan’s hand was naturally wrapped around her waist. It didn’t seem forceful, yet it was exceptionally firm.

Lu Youxi was in a panic internally but wasn’t sure if Zhou Shuyan was aware of their situation.

She quickly looked up, managing to put a bit of distance between her face and his, only to find herself looking directly into his face.

The man should have been fully awake by then, his dark pupils seeming to flicker with fire.

As soon as her gaze met his, it was like being sucked into his eyes.

In that moment, Lu Youxi even forgot to ask him to let go and to leave his embrace, unable to tear her eyes away from Zhou Shuyan’s.

Despite her slight distance, both were still very close, Zhou Shuyan’s nostrils almost touching her temples, his hot breath spilling over Lu Youxi’s temples and eyes, scorching her eyes.

Zhou Shuyan took a deep breath, not wanting to take advantage of the situation, and slightly increased the distance between them.

Lu Youxi’s breathing was trembling violently, her heart racing uncontrollably, yet at that moment, she had no desire to escape.

Lu Youxi stared at Zhou Shuyan’s face, which even just upon waking looked impossibly handsome, not at all disheveled or puffy like others in the morning.

Lu Youxi remained motionless, her breath tense and tight, her eyelids slowly closing halfway, her nervous lashes continuously trembling.

It seemed as if she was waiting for Zhou Shuyan to kiss her.

Zhou Shuyan’s Adam’s apple moved even more intensely, his gaze on the young girl in his arms, his thin lips slightly trembling.

"Zhou..." Lu Youxi didn’t dare fully open her eyes, not even knowing how she managed to speak, and even less aware of what her voice sounded like.

But to Zhou Shuyan’s ears, her voice was both coy and trembling.

"Zhou Shuyan." Lu Youxi dared not look at him, "You..."

Zhou Shuyan suddenly realized that his hand was still on Lu Youxi’s waist.

"Sorry," his voice raspy as if scorched, hastily removing his hand.

"I’ll get up first." Zhou Shuyan quickly said and hurriedly got out of bed.

After Zhou Shuyan left, Lu Youxi finally sat up, slightly annoyed, and tugged at her hair.

How did she end up sleeping in Zhou Shuyan’s arms?

Lu Youxi got out of bed awkwardly, prepared herself, and then left the room.

Liu Yushu had already prepared breakfast, and upon seeing Lu Youxi, she hurridly beckoned, "Youxi, come eat."

"Mhm." Lu Youxi dared not look at Zhou Shuyan.

Fortunately, they quickly finished breakfast, and neither Liu Yushu nor Lu Zhenguo seemed to notice anything unusual between them.

After breakfast, Zhou Shuyan quietly explained to Lu Youxi, "I didn’t mean to do it this morning. I usually sleep well, but somehow..."

Lu Youxi didn’t know what Zhou Shuyan’s usual sleeping habits were like, but she was now very suspicious that her own sleeping habits were the problem, rolling into Zhou Shuyan’s embrace in the middle of the night.

"It’s okay, we’ll just be more careful tonight," Lu Youxi quickly said with a flushed face.

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Thinking of the several nights to come, Zhou Shuyan experienced both pain and pleasure.

Lu Youxi was also worried. If such a situation occurred today, how would she handle the next few days?

She kept reminding herself to behave more properly at bedtime.

But in the following days, Lu Youxi woke up in Zhou Shuyan’s arms every morning.

By the end, she even got somewhat used to it, adopting a what-the-hell attitude.

However, waking up each morning became more natural for them both.
