"Hold on a little longer." Ji Wei insisted, fighting against the sleep overtaking her eyelids, "It'll be okay once we get through this."
"Listen."
Gu Moqian's voice was deep, carrying a hint of command.
"I'll stay for another ten minutes," Ji Wei conceded.

"I need to get some water; I'm thirsty."
Gu Moqian remained silent, and she took it as tacit approval, finding an excuse to get up.

"Mo Qian, here."
Just as she was about to hand him the cup of coffee, sudden sounds of panting and soft moans intertwined from the opposite bedroom, soon followed by the faint, overheard conversation of a man and woman.
"Be gentle!"
"Where is it? I can't find it; where... I need to turn on the light to see—"
"Don't turn it on! I'm so embarrassed, ah... it hurts!"
"..."
