But she was too sleepy and she couldn't differentiate whether it was a dream or reality . She forgot everything when she woke up the next morning .
Xuxu opened her eyes; the man next to her was still sound asleep . She stole a glance at him and lifted the blanket gingerly as she felt for the edge of the bed .
Her feet had barely landed on the ground when a pair of hands grabbed her by the waist . "Sleep a little longer . "
Yan Rusheng's hoarse and sleepy voice interrupted her .
"I'm not sleepy anymore . " She pushed him away and stood up . She picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom .

A short while later, she came out of the bathroom, fully dressed . "I'll go get breakfast . "
She spoke at the same time she walked towards the door . She threw him a careless glance when she walked past the bed .
That careless glance made Yan Rusheng felt slightly disappointed . When would she stop being so cold and aloof to him?
When Xuxu came back with breakfast, Yan Rusheng had just came out of the bathroom after showering . He was wearing the bathrobe that Xuxu had worn yesterday . His hair was wet and messy and it further accentuated his clearly-defined features .
He noticed Xuxu staring pensively at him in the middle of the room while she held the food in her hands . She seemed troubled as she knitted her eyebrows .
He paused for a moment before his eyes lit up with a grin . "Are you thinking that I'm too handsome so yesterday wasn't simply enough?"

Xuxu snapped out of her daze and gave him a contemptuous look . She raised the bag of food and asked, "Do you want to eat in the room or outside?"
"You decide . " Yan Rusheng rubbed his hair with a towel while walking towards Xuxu .
There wasn't a table in the room so Xuxu said, "Let's eat outside then . "
She turned around .
Yan Rusheng flung his towel away suddenly and embraced her tightly from the back . Without giving her a chance to react, his lips inched towards her ear and he whispered, "Let's do some exercise before eating . "
His deep voice was filled with warmth and gentleness . And his warm breath . . .
The peaceful and beautiful morning was disrupted as a result . . .
Xuxu shuddered involuntarily as she retracted her neck to avoid him . But Yan Rusheng didn't give up as he kissed her neck . Then he slowly moved his hands upwards from her waist and caressed her chest .
His aggressiveness mingled with gentleness gradually made Xuxu lose every ounce of her determination .
His built arms tightened around her but her heart began to feel empty and anxious .
Perhaps he was too tired as well; he remained quiet and motionless . She couldn't understand what was on his mind . She wondered if his heart . . . was still here, with her .
For a long time . . . till Xuxu's eyelids began to droop with sleepiness before Yan Rusheng broke the silence . "I've checked the land regarding the orphanage yesterday night . The government is indeed developing that area and the orphanage is located at one of the core areas . It won't be easy to acquire that piece of land . "
Xuxu was startled to hear that Yan Rusheng had put in so much effort regarding the piece of land she wanted to acquire .
She was already aware that this issue was indeed tricky .
"I know . " She nodded and spoke softly but unyieldingly . "But since I've given my word to help, I'll try my best . "
She thought of the children in the orphanage and became melancholic . "When I saw the children, they reminded me of myself . And I can't help but think of those children who didn't even have the chance to be born . . . "
