Chapter 409 A Kiss

The sun gradually set, the sky ablaze with a sunset red like fire.

Shen Li slowly opened her eyes, having just woken up, her expression somewhat bewildered, yet she felt exceptionally comfortable.

It had been a long time since she'd slept so soundly. The torment of illness, the harsh reality, had drained her both physically and mentally; even with extended periods of sleep, she always felt a sense of restlessness.

Until today, she truly felt at ease.

"Finally awake."

Shen Li jumped at the sudden remark from Huo Siyu, instinctively sitting up.

It was already evening, and the room was dim without the lights on. Huo Siyu was still seated at his desk, a laptop in front of him, and he had been working until he spoke. Now, he turned to look at her.

The faint light made Huo Siyu's face appear a bit hazy, less domineering, less arrogant, giving off a much gentler impression, or one could say, far more normal.
