She slowly stood up and walked to the door, gently pushed it open, and cautiously peeked out through the crack.

At this moment, Li Siyuan was leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed, resting.

Looking at the familiar figure, but choosing not to disturb the other person, she stood quietly in place and watched silently for a while before gently closing the door again.

At that moment, the tension in my heart was released, and my anxious mind gradually calmed down. My whole body and mind felt an unprecedented sense of ease and peace.

He had always protected himself in this way, never crossing the boundaries in his heart, which slightly changed her perspective.

Every time she saw how he protected her, a warm feeling would well up in her heart.

Although an invisible barrier still existed between them, she began to believe that perhaps he really just cared about her and had no other intentions.

Shen Xuan glanced at it once and then closed the door with peace of mind. The only barrier between the two was a wall, but neither of them took the initiative to break the deadlock.

The man outside the door seemed to always maintain his calm demeanor. Even though their hearts were so close at this moment, neither of them took the first step to break the silence and try to communicate.

She gently shook her head, trying to free herself from this complex mix of emotions.

Lu Shuli sat on the sofa, bored and dozing off. Gao Jing had abandoned him there and then disappeared, taking her phone with her.

In the empty living room, only the sound of loneliness echoed in the air.

Faced with Gao Jing's sudden disappearance, no matter how angry he was, he had nowhere to vent his anger.

When he turned his gaze to Shen Feiyan lying on the bed, he felt an indescribable sense of irritation.

It was as if all the anger had been transformed into a feeling of helplessness in the face of the scene before them.

Shen Feiyan rolled over and hugged the blanket tightly, one leg draped over it. Her messy hair covered her face. Although she was slightly slender, she looked younger and more lively compared to Shen Xuan.

At that moment, she looked as helpless as a curled-up kitten, making one want to protect her.

Nevertheless, her youthful spirit still shone through her chaotic state, making her appear more innocent and lively compared to the more mature and composed woman beside her.

Lu Shuli squinted at her back, becoming somewhat engrossed. His hand, which had been supporting his head, gradually fell, bringing him back to his senses.

My previously drowsy mind suddenly cleared, and I realized that I had been completely absorbed by such an insignificant action.

Perhaps it was this rare tranquility that allowed him to temporarily put aside his inner anxiety?

Feeling bored, Lu Shuli stood up from the sofa, walked over and pulled up the blanket covering half of Shen Feiyan's body.

His movements were gentle and cautious, as if afraid of disturbing this fragile and beautiful scene.

Although they didn't have much interaction, he couldn't help but show a hint of concern at that moment.

Shen Feiyan mumbled a few words that were hard to hear, which made Lu Shuli frown even more.

The faint, indistinct words seemed to contain some unsolved meaning, which was particularly thought-provoking in the silence.

Was she doing this on purpose to get his attention?

Or is this just a natural expression of emotion?

These questions loomed over his mind like dark clouds.

She doesn't drink at all, but she insisted on going to those kinds of events with Gao Jing and getting completely drunk.

Who gave her such courage, or was she just being foolish?

After thinking for a while, two possibilities emerged in his mind: either Gao Jing had induced or even forced him, or Shen Feiyan herself was willing to harm herself to achieve some ulterior motive.

Whatever the reason, it now appears that this action has already had a significant impact on her.

He glanced at her, his previously cold expression softened considerably, and a slight smile appeared on his face. He then turned and lay back down on the sofa.

Although I still can't understand the little girl's behavior, seeing her safe and sound brought me some relief.

With this comforting feeling, I drifted off to sleep again, and the room returned to its previous tranquility.

The two spent the entire night peacefully together.

There was no further verbal exchange, and nothing unpleasant happened.

In this relative silence, each of them completed their own little dream journey.

The next morning, Shen Xuan emerged from her room after carefully dressing up, looking much more refreshed.

After a good rest last night, she felt refreshed when she woke up this morning.

Wearing well-fitting clothes, her face, after being meticulously made up, radiated a soft glow. Every strand of hair was neatly combed, as if the whole world had been given a new color.

In the living room downstairs, Li Siyuan sat quietly.

He seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, ready to welcome the new day.

When he heard soft footsteps on the stairs, he looked up, his eyes revealing a barely perceptible concern.

Her footsteps as she descended caught his attention.

As I walked down the steps, I could feel the warm gaze from behind with every step.

She stopped halfway down the stairs, gripped the railing, and stared blankly at him.

For a brief moment, their eyes met, and both seemed to be moved by the emotions that lingered in the air.

However, Shen Xuan quickly and instinctively avoided his gaze.

Perhaps she wasn't ready to face all these changes, or perhaps there were still things she couldn't let go of in her heart; in any case, she chose to bow her head and escape reality.

She pursed her lips, clearly unaccustomed to the current situation, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

Although she didn't say it, her subtle facial expressions revealed that she was trying hard to control the turmoil of emotions surging within her.

Finally mustering her courage, she continued downstairs after a moment.

Each step we take is another courageous challenge to the uncertainties of the future.

Li Siyuan glanced at her sideways, and her deliberately made-up look today gave him the feeling that time had turned back to a few years ago.

Those beautiful memories seem as clear as if they happened yesterday, but the girl in front of me is no longer the innocent girl she once was.

When he got up and turned to her, he was still wearing the same clothes he hadn't had time to change from yesterday.

Because he hadn't slept all night, he had obvious bags under his eyes, his messy hair stood up haphazardly, and his face looked extremely haggard.

But for her sake, he didn't sleep a wink all night, waiting there for her, never wavering in his resolve.

He turned and went into the kitchen, took out the porridge that had been cooked in advance from the stove, and carefully ladled it into a bowl.

"Are you hungry? I've prepared some porridge for you. Eat something before you go out."

Li Siyuan spoke gently, his tone full of concern and care for her.
