The water slowly grew cold, and Huo Siyu lifted the sleeping Shen Li out of it, his movements extremely gentle as if afraid of disturbing her.
He carefully placed her on the bed, and though it was still early, Huo Siyu also snuggled into the covers with her, their bodies pressed tightly together.
Shen Li was already deep in slumber, compliantly nestled in Huo Siyu's arms.
"Truly a demon's little fairy," Huo Siyu said, his facial expression a mix of love and frustration.
Yet, he couldn't help but kiss Shen Li's cheek, his face wearing a doting smile.
Such a little fairy, to have such control over his emotions. He had planned to severely deal with her, yet he completely lacked the resolve to do so.
He wanted even more to cherish her, protect her, tease her…
It seemed he was also tormenting himself.
"If you keep being this good, I would really come to like you," Huo Siyu muttered to himself.
