The sunlight shone faintly, and the pear blossoms in the courtyard burst into bloom.
Tian Liuli woke amidst the warm hues, turned her gaze, and intently stared at the sleeping face beside her.
"Awake?"
Xu Yuan opened his eyes and looked at her.
Cultivators were always brimming with energy, and even if they went ten years without sleep, it would not be a problem.
Yet, last night, Tian Liuli had indeed slept, and slept very soundly.
"Yes."
She nodded slightly, her eyelashes fluttering lightly like feathers, dazzlingly dreamlike under the sky's light.
"Shall I cook?"
He asked tentatively.
Tian Liuli narrowed her eyes, stretched lazily, and then nodded her head.
"Go ahead."
Seeing that she wasn't clinging to him or asking why he hadn't touched her last night, Xu Yuan felt relieved, but he couldn't help feeling that something was a bit strange.
Although it was a good thing, for if she had truly asked, he would have had to explain why he had not touched her.
