Just before dawn, Gu Yanshen quietly got out of bed.
Lin Wan Yi was awakened by the rustling sound of him dressing, squinting her eyes to watch him put on that crisp military uniform, his tall figure in the dim morning light, like a silent mountain.
The man fastened the last button, turned around, and directly met her gaze.
He paused his step, walked to the bed, and tucked in her blanket corners.
"I'm off. The food is in the pot, kept warm."
Lin Wan Yi blinked, stretched out a dazzlingly white hand from the blanket, and beckoned with her finger.
Gu Yanshen's body stiffened for a moment, but he still bent down according to her gesture.
Lin Wan Yi propped herself up, and lightly touched his cold, hard cheek.
"Come back early, construction team leader."
The tips of the man's ears turned red the instant she finished speaking. He said nothing, turned around with long strides, almost fleeing in haste.
