Chapter 101
After all the commotion, it was already close to ten o’clock.
Ye Yuning came out after her bath, holding a basin of rather warm water with two towels soaking in it.
Xiao Linye was already lying on the couch.
Clad in a dark blue bathrobe, his eyes tightly closed, he appeared gentler than when they usually interacted.
Ye Yuning, carrying the basin, tiptoed to the coffee table and set it down gently. She asked softly, "Are you asleep?"
The man didn’t respond, his breathing even.
Up close, Ye Yuning noticed his complexion was significantly worse than before he had gone in to shower.
It looked like he had quite a bit to drink tonight. In that case, it would be rather surprising if he didn’t feel miserable in the morning. Ye Yuning was all too familiar with that feeling of a hangover. Not to mention the fiery discomfort in her chest at midnight, she would also feel groggy and nauseous the next day.
She quickly wrung out a towel from the hot water. Looking at the man who was fast asleep, she hesitated for a moment. Then, she carefully parted his bathrobe and placed the unfolded hot towel on his chest.
The moment her fingertips brushed against his firm chest, the man, who had been deeply asleep, slowly opened his eyes. His gaze held a profound depth in the dim light, and upon meeting his eyes, Ye Yuning’s breath hitched.
