Clearly with an air of authority, but at this moment, his face clearly showed he was allowing Xiyan to "bully" him.
Unbelievable.
Nighttime.
Ou Jue turned off the light and got into bed.
The faint scent of his pheromones came close, and Xiyan inexplicably felt her heartbeat quicken.
Her heart pounded wildly, just like the first time he held her as they fell asleep.
All around was pitch black, and outside came the occasional sound of cold wind beating against the windows.
Xiyan said nothing, obediently closing her eyes as she snuggled into his embrace.
"Xia Xiyan..." he suddenly called her name, gently resting his chin on her head, "Your heart is beating so fast."
Xiyan tensed up, stuttering as she spoke, "I-I-I'm not!"
Ou Jue chuckled softly, absentmindedly stroking her hair.
Both lay facing each other, with Xiyan facing his firm chest.
Listening to the interwoven rhythm of his heartbeat and her own, it seemed like the most moving melody in the world.
