Maybe because he just woke up, Jin’s eyes had a hint of red, and they were wet, staring straight at her, as if she was the only person left in the world.
His fingers gently touched her face, the movement careful and cautious, as if confirming he’s not dreaming.
Shen Tang placed her hand on the back of his hand, gently rubbing it, and hummed, "It’s me, awake."
Jin’s throat rolled fiercely, and he pulled her into his arms, his voice hoarse and low, with a clear choke, "That’s great, Tangtang, you finally woke up, I thought..."
"Thought what?" Shen Tang found it slightly amusing, pushing against his chest with her other hand to create some distance, looking up at the man’s worried face, her tone with a bit of teasing,
"Fu, we’ve only known each other a short time, and you’re this worried about me?"
She looked down at their current position - she’s still lying on the bed, half embracing him, her tone became stranger, "And aren’t you married? This doesn’t seem right, does it?"
Jin froze for a moment, too embarrassed to speak, the hand on her waist instantly loosening, floundering there, unsure of where to place his hands.
Shen Tang seeing him like this, wanted to laugh even more, "How long do you plan to keep this from me? Jin?"
Jin’s Adam’s apple rolled again, knowing that this flawed disguise would eventually be uncovered, and he never intended to hide it forever.
Her soft fingers touched his face, slowly removing that mask that was lifelike, revealing the man’s original features.
Features are handsome and three-dimensional, with deep and captivating eyebrows and eyes, golden pupils that pierce the soul, a high nose bridge, lips neither too thin nor too thick, the upper lip slightly upturned, looking somewhat arrogant yet sexy, when he smiles there’s a hint of rogue-like charm, just right in each aspect.
Yet at this moment, the man’s cheekbones bear some bluish-purple scratches, and there are traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, adding a bit of wildness compared to usual.
But when he looks at her, his eyes are gentle, even with a cautious, pleasing, and uneasy feel, with a touch of heartache-inducing fragility.
Shen Tang looked at the man before her, her pupils quivering.
Although she always pretended to be calm and had long guessed it was him, when this face appeared truly before her, she couldn’t help but feel dazed.
Shen Tang murmured, "It really is you... Why deceive me?"
