By the time she woke up, it was completely dark.
A warm yellow light was on above the bed, not very bright but she was still stung by the light when she opened her eyes.
Just as she raised her hand to shield it from her eyes, suddenly a large, warm hand gently covered her eyes.
She flinched for a moment and before she could react, she heard a familiar low voice ring out beside her.
"You're awake? How do you feel? Better?"
Reacting for a split second, she adjusted to the light in the room, grabbed the hand in front of her and moved it away to look at the man beside this bed.
"...... why am I here? This is ......"
Levi saw her sleepy eyes, obviously still dazed, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
"You fainted and this is a guest room of the Marsh’s house."
As the words fell, he couldn't help but frown, looking at her with a look full of disapproval, as if he was slightly displeased.
"You obviously can't physically hold it up, why do you have to hold it up, saving three people in a row for that long at once, how much mental energy does it take? Do you think you're an iron man?"
Seeing her pass out in front of him was a moment of panic and he just felt like he was suffocating for breath.
Staying by her bedside, watching her drift off to sleep, he was anxious and worried, fearing that she would stay asleep like this.
It was probably the first time in his life that he was so worried about someone.
Such a feeling was like nothing he had ever experienced before.
It turns out that when you love someone, you can only see her in your heart and mind, and everything about her makes you feel so attached, as if there is nothing else.
Ruby looked at his tightly knitted brow and for some reason, a certain string in her heart suddenly twitched and without even thinking, she subconsciously raised her hand.
Levi raised his hand to hold it, worried about she was uncomfortable, he quickly stopped his reprimand and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ruby tilted her head, her pitch-black hair scattered like a waterfall on either side of the pillow, her clear, watery eyes reflecting his figure, unable to see the emotions.
"You come closer." She suddenly whispered.
Levi did not hesitate and obediently moved closer, lowering his head.
Then Ruby's fingertips touched his tightly furrowed brow and stroked it lightly.
"Don't always frown, it looks awful."
When she said this, Levi froze, staring at her blankly, as if he wanted to look through her eyes and see all the way into her heart.
It took a dozen seconds before he finally responded, curving his thin lips into a smile.
He pulled down Ruby's hand and placed it on his lips, pecking her fingertips.
"Are you coaxing me?" He enquired with a smile, his voice slightly muffled and sensual.
Ruby was uncomfortable by what he said and skimmed the corners of her mouth, withdrew her hand.
But Levi would not let go of it, instead he held it in his hand and gently kneaded it.
"So I've always been handsome in your heart."
He teased her deliberately, his voice full of pleasure, and his eyebrows all stretched out in a nice way.
