Gu Annan was taken aback and fell silent for a moment.
He hadn't even realized what he had said; initially, he only intended to explain things when he saw that her heart was all aflutter, not to make a confession of love.
"What do you want to say?" He looked sideways, his gaze leisurely fixed on her.
Lu Wanwan cleared her throat and turned back over, "Nothing, let's go to sleep."
"Nothing?" His voice suddenly shifted, taut as a plucked string, "Don't you have a single word you want to say?"
After letting his words slip out, her offhand remark of 'nothing' ultimately left him unsatisfied.
An arm suddenly stretched out, twisting her body around and pinning her down firmly.
He had been worried that she might be uncomfortable, so he even hesitated to get too close to her.
Gu Annan restrained her, yet remained cautiously distant.
A pair of bright and piercing eyes made it impossible for her to look away.
