Early the next morning.
The two of them awoke in the same bed, though Jiangg Yao woke up a bit earlier. She lay in Chen Yuan's arms, her eyes half-closed, quietly studying his face. She didn't disturb his sleep, simply enjoying the quiet moment.
Outside, sunlight touched the city. The streets gradually filled with pedestrians as the sleeping metropolis slowly awakened, shaking off the decadence and splendor of yesterday to welcome a new, clear day.
Jiangg Yao was happy and content. Waking up to see the person she loved was a wonderful feeling. She resisted the urge to reach out and pinch his nose, pulling her hand back under the covers instead.
Chen Yuan must have been exhausted yesterday. After his shower, he had fallen fast asleep within minutes of hitting the bed. Jiangg Yao had played on her phone for a while before pulling his arm over and snuggling into his embrace to sleep.
