Even though Lu Xingzhi wanted to stay up and talk to Jiang Yao, with wounds and injuries all over his body, he eventually succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep slumber.
His right hand was still lightly holding onto hers when he fell asleep. His warmth radiated from his fingertips, through her palms, into her heart.
Lu Xingzhi did not look much different asleep, although he looked much more relaxed, with his brows loosening from its usual tight position. His usually frigid expression softened, bringing about an air of mellowness not always present.
Seeing this, Jiang Yao instinctively kissed him on his lips. Frankly, the kiss was not great. He had been lying on the bed in the hospital for days, his lips even tasted like medicine.
"Crap!" The first thing Chen Xuyao saw walking in was Jiang Yao smooching Lu Xingzhi. He called out, swiftly turned around, and left the room while pushing both Gu Haoyu and the director of the hospital away. "Brother Lu, Jiang Yao, let us know once you are done kissing!" He yelled from the other side of the door.
Jiang Yao awkwardly listened to Chen Xuyao's teasing, before tucking Lu Xingzhi in and leaving the room.
"He is asleep." Jiang Yao looked at Chen Xuyao and Gu Haoyu, "I thought you went back."
"How can we? We know that Brother Lu sees us as third-wheelers here, he just wants to talk to you alone." Chen Xuyao chuckled. "Although, Jiang Yao, I have to say, you are quite the sneaky person here. Kissing Brother Lu even though he's fast asleep!"
Noticing Gu Haoyu's glare, Chen Xuyao realized he must have overstepped the line. He looked at Jiang Yao and realized she was rolling her eyes.
