Lu Jinghan just walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a white towel, with traces of water still on his thick, short hair.
"Why not sleep a little longer?"
Han Xi raised her hand to tuck a few strands of loose hair behind her ear, lifted the comforter, and got out of bed: "I have to go to the hospital soon; if I sleep more, I'll be late for work."
Lu Jinghan encircled Han Xi's waist, the mild fragrance of shampoo wafting into Han Xi's nose.
"I'll help you request leave from the dean; you shouldn't go today."
"No, I've taken too many days off recently. You'll drive me there later."
Lu Jinghan nuzzled Han Xi's hair, then loosened his arm from around her waist.
Han Xi took a warm shower in the bathroom, the rising steam lingering on her fair skin. Looking into the mirror at the marks left on her from the previous night, she blushed furiously.
After showering, she took clothes from the wardrobe and put them on. Only then did they both head downstairs together.
