Chapter 73
The first thing Feng Jiao Xue noticed when she woke was the softness. Her hand gripped the soft velvety cloth in confusion.
Her bed wasn’t this comfortable.
The matress beneath her was plush, sinking just enough to cradle her form. Her ussual one was just enough to make sure she can sleep peacefully.
The silk sheets were cool against her skin, embroidered with golden phoenixes woven into deep blue fabric. Above her, the canopy was made of sheer, white gauze, allowing sunlight to filter through like a gentle morning glow.
This room was a far cry from her shabby shack, it was grand in a way that it was befitting a princess.
Carved wooden screens painted with intricate landscapes separated the space, and a vanity table adorned with jade accessories sat against the far wall. Delicate incense burned in a small porcelain dish, filling the room with a calming floral scent. A set of silk curtains swayed slightly from the breeze, partially revealing an open balcony that overlooked a garden filled with blooming moonflowers.
Everything screamed luxury, yet there was a distinct warmth to it. A warmth that made it feel like home.
She blinked drowsily, shifting slightly ready to bolt, only to pause when she saw the figure seated beside her bed.
MoTianze.
His fluffy ears twitched in his sleep, his white hair slightly messy, making him look even softer than usual. His tail was curled around his waist, draped protectively across his lap. His arms were folded, his body slumped forward in an uncomfortable position on the wooden chair. His brow furrowed slightly, as if even in sleep, he was still worried about something.
"Cute" She though to herself as she wanted to cuddle him, hold him in her arms. But before she could, something shifted in her peripheral vision.
