Of course, intimacy after a long separation was inevitable.
Jiayu didn't even know when she fell asleep.
All she knew was that when she opened her eyes again, the sky outside was already dark.
Her waist ached, her hands ached, her arms ached, her whole body ached. She groggily grabbed the small clock on the bedside table and glanced at it; it was almost six o'clock.
Jiayu lay there for a while longer before slowly getting up.
She felt a bit sticky, so she took a quick shower and changed into her plush loungewear before opening the door to go out, greeted by the fragrant aroma of food wafting in from outside.
Mu Ke, wearing an apron, was just putting a bowl of soup on the table. Seeing her, he smiled gently, "Awake? Perfect timing, come eat."
Jiayu walked over to the dining table and sat down. Mu Ke had made home-cooked dishes as usual, with just one spicy dish, but they were all dishes she liked.
Jiayu picked up a piece of spicy chicken and put it in her mouth.
