Huo Siyu and Huo Tianqi returned to find Shen Li already asleep.
On the sofa in the side hall, her head nestled on a cushion, covered with a light blanket, she looked like a small animal hibernating, curled up into a ball, a bit pitiable yet a bit adorable.
"Hey, wake up," Huo Tianqi called her with a smile,
Speaking of Shen Li herself, he really liked her. But marrying her would directly affect Money and Power's interests, which was more than he could bear.
Huo Siyu, however, said softly, "Let her sleep."
"Ah..."
Lightly sleeping, Shen Li had already opened her eyes, looking utterly perplexed and confused, with an animal-like unease.
"Awake now." Huo Siyu reached out reflexively, touching Shen Li's head.
The tender touch brought with it tranquility and palpitations.
Shen Li couldn't help but lift her head, looking at Huo Siyu's gentle face, but she instinctively shrank back.
Unpleasant memories flooded in, instinctively frightening her a bit.
