I open my eyes a little and see that I am lying in Li Qiang's arms with my pyjamas on a new set of bedding. I must have fallen asleep when he was helping me to clean up. Although Li Qiang insists that these kinds of actions are nothing special in a relationship, for me, they equal unconditional love.

Slowly, I turn around without breaking his hug so that I can see his sleeping face. Even when he is sleeping, he is quite handsome. His sharp jawline, high nose, thin lips... I love everything about him.

My hand unwittingly finds its way to his soft black hair and plays with the slightly longer bangs. He hums in his sleep and pulls me closer... Even when he is unconscious, he still manages to show me that he loves me.

I have never been this happy in my entire life. Spending each day with Li Qiang, now I know my relationship with Li Jie was nothing more than a beautiful illusion. Being inexperienced in love, I believed that it was perfect, but Li Qiang opened my eyes.

I nuzzle my head to the crook of his neck and lull myself back to sleep, sniffing his minty scent.
