His breathing became slightly heavy. He gently tucked the slightly damp strands of hair behind her ear, and with strong arms pulled her closer. His thin lips pressed down again.
She held her breath and suddenly heard footsteps from the small kitchen. Bai Qingyan placed her hands against Xiao Rongyan's chest, pushing him away and called out first: "Chun Tao!"
Xiao Rongyan, panting heavily, reluctantly let her go.
His hearing was excellent. He had heard the sounds from the small kitchen before Bai Qingyan, but he was unwilling to let her go.
Bai Qingyan straightened her clothes just as Chun Tao, carrying a tray of hot tea, hurried in from the small kitchen: "Big Miss, do you need some water?"
Earlier, Chun Tao had woken up suddenly and noticed the water had gotten cold. Concerned that Bai Qingyan might wake up in the middle of the night to drink, she went to change it for hot tea.
