[Bonus chapter] Chapter 50

Li Shaoze was sleeping soundly after Pei Qian had coaxed him to eat the congee that was reheated. She sat beside him as she stared at his sleeping face that was so pale.

She recalled the first time she met him under the tree at the funeral. He had been so pale too at the time. In fact, his face was naturally a shade lighter than normal men in the country, which made him supposedly appear more feminine or fragile.

However, that wasn't the case because he was so tall and lean. He looked like a textbook definition of a vampire if only vampires existed. She also recalled he often wore dark colored clothes and it contrasted his skin tone very well. He rarely appeared dull due to that. Instead, he was terribly handsome and enchanting.

Thinking about it again, she inadvertently touched her lips with her finger. The touch of their lips was light but the warmth she had felt was real and burning.
