Distant

In the next moment, Gu Zi opened her eyes. She was greeted by the mature and handsome face of Su Shen.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, sitting up hesitantly. "Su Shen, you're back!"

Su Shen stood up, glancing at the peacefully sleeping Lele. "Why not go sleep on the bed? You know to tuck Lele in, why not do the same for yourself?"

The man's deep voice carried a touch of tenderness, yet it was faint, almost imperceptible.

Gu Zi felt he was stern. Suddenly, she felt as though she was caught red-handed doing something wrong.

Hurriedly, she straightened Le Le's blanket, saying, "I was planning to take a short nap, so I didn't bring Le Le upstairs."

Gu Zi felt an awkwardness creeping in their interaction, probably due to that kiss.

Thinking about it made the scene from that day replay in her mind, making her forehead tense instantly.

"Have you eaten?" she asked. "I can make something for you."
