It was officially the last day of the national holiday and contrary to their original plans, Alix and Caishen had spent the entire holiday with his family. The new plan was to return home on this day after visiting the Tai family.
Because his grandfather had attached a lot of importance to the visit, Caishen woke up early. He was well rested, energetic and in a sunny mood.
"Mmm, Alix." he turned his head to the woman who shared his bed and he called out.
She was deep asleep, head on his chest and one hand slung across his chest. It didn't matter how loud he called out, she wasn't moving.
He moved her hand slowly and as gently as he could. She seemed to sense what he was doing and brought it back, moving it to his waist this time round.
"Ohoo, Alix." he called her, again.
She mumbled something and tightened her hold on him. Trying to get rid of her hand this time round was even harder and she doubled the challenge by flinging one of her legs across his.
