When he thought about this, Yan Huaian closed his eyes and swallowed as he felt his body heating up . Coupled with the effects of the Huadiao, he felt like he was going to breathe fire .
Thus, he quickly lowered his head and licked his lips .
Yu Zi did not notice what he was doing since she was focusing on the heat of his fingertips on her lips through the piece of tissue . It was so hot .
When she looked down, she saw that his fingers were so close to her . She noticed the bones protruding from the joints of his fingers as well as the fine hair running along the back of his fingers .
Yu Zi's lips trembled as she subconsciously bit her bottom lip . She was afraid that she would make a mistake if she did not stop herself now .
However, thankfully, Yan Huaian removed his hand after wiping her mouth .
Throughout the meal, the corner of Yu Zi's lips would feel numb . The heat from Yan Huaian's fingertips still lingered on them .
After the meal, Yu Zi wanted to wash the dishes, but Yan Huaian refused and asked her to go back to her work .
“You're gonna have to stay up late if you do . If you don't get enough rest, it will be bad for your body . Oh right, I almost forgot, what time did you sleep yesterday? When I came over this morning, you were sleeping on the sofa,” Yan Huaian asked .
Yu Zi felt guilty . “I noticed that it was going to be daybreak soon when I was about to go to bed, so I just slept there . ”
Yu Zi felt sluggish . She wanted to ask how he was going to punish her .
However, when she saw his stern expression, she did not dare to ask . Hence, she turned around and went back to work in the living room . When she turned around, she could not stop a cheeky grin from spreading across her face .
It was weird that she would not work in the study even though she had one .
She would much rather switch on all the lights in the living and dining room before working on the floor while drinking coffee .
When Yan Huaian was done cleaning the kitchen and was on his way to the balcony, he stopped in front of Yu Zi and said, “I'll come back in a bit . ”

Yu Zi blinked . She wanted to ask him what he meant by 'he was coming back' .
Nevertheless, before she got the chance, Yan Huaian had already walked over to the balcony . Through the French windows, she could see that he had gone into his own house .
The door to the balcony was left open, and after a while, Yan Huaian came back with his laptop .
“I have some work I have to finish as well, so I'll stay here to keep you company,” Yan Huaian explained . “You won't mind, right? I just feel that it would be boring to work alone . I would feel more energetic with someone next to me . ”
Yu Zi shook her head . “I don't mind . ”
Yan Huaian smiled and sat down opposite her . He quickly went into work mode after switching on his laptop though, suddenly becoming very serious .
Under his influence, Yu Zi slowly stopped feeling anxious . She was busy looking through past cases to see if there were any similar cases to the one she was handling at the moment whilst making notes on her laptop .
Suddenly, the room went quiet, such that there was only the sound of keyboard keys clicking and pages flipping . Even so, it did not feel cold and unwelcome, instead, the room felt rather warm .
Yan Huaian looked like he was working hard, but once in a while, he would peer over his screen to look at Yu Zi .
It was just that Yu Zi was always concentrating on her work whenever he looked at her .
If she was not typing something on her laptop, she would be busy searching for something in her folders .
When Yan Huaian continued with his work, Yu Zi twisted her neck and peeked over at him . The two of them were constantly looking at each other, but their timing was off that their eyes would never meet .
After a while, Yan Huaian no longer heard the sound of paper flipping . When he looked up, he noticed that Yu Zi was lying on the table . She was sound asleep .
Thus, Yan Huaian saved his document and switched off his laptop . He went over to Yu Zi to see that she had already finished her work, but she had not said anything and decided to stay with him instead .
Why?

Was she afraid that she would disturb him?
Or… Yan Huaian smiled . Or did she want to spend more time with him?
He hoped it was the latter .
He lowered his body to get close to her . Yu Zi's hand was folded on top of each other . When he looked at the clock on his screen, he saw that it was already 1:30 am .
No wonder she was so tired . She was sleeping soundly as her eyelashes cast a shadow onto her closed eyelids .
“Yu Zi?” Yan Huaian called gently .
However, Yu Zi was in a deep sleep . She had only slept for three hours today and did not rest in the office this morning .
She could not sleep during her lunch break either because she had been too excited about Yan Huaian's case .
She kept on working when she came back at night, and was totally stressed out even as she finally completed her work .
Despite of this, Yu Zi saw that Yan Huaian was still working . It looked like he did not plan on stopping any time soon .
Therefore, she did not want to disturb him . Instead, she just carefully looked at him over the screen . She found him so charming when he was concentrating on his work .
His eyebrows were knitted together as the light from the screen reflected onto his face, highlighting his features . He had unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt too, showing his collarbone . At the same time, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbow, putting his strong arms in plain sight .
Unfortunately for her, she could not see his hands since the laptop was blocking her view .
She felt sleepy from sitting and watching him like this, so she soon lay down on the coffee table and dozed off .
She had not rested well since last night . She had only slept for three hours, causing dark circles to appear underneath her eyes .

She was sleeping so soundly that Yan Huaian could not wake her no matter how hard he tried .
Thus, Yan Huaian decided to carry her into her bedroom bridal style . Since her bedroom door was open, he simply carried her inside and placed her gently on the bed . He was afraid that he would wake her if he was too rough .
Yu Zi was in such a deep slumber that she did not even stir . Yan Huaian did not want to leave either when he looked at her sleeping with her guard down .
Then, he unconsciously got close to her . Both of his hands were on either side of her shoulders as his gaze fell on her relaxed lips .
He still remembered how it felt when he had wiped away the crab eggs from her lips . Even though there was a piece of tissue between them, he could still feel the softness of her lips against his fingertips .
Yan Huaian could not help but recall the scene from this morning either . His lips and throat went dry, so he needed to rehydrate himself .
He got so close to her that eventually, he pressed his lips gently onto hers . Yan Huaian was so nervous he felt like his heart was about to burst out of his chest . He felt happy kissing her, but at the same time, he felt guilty .
He had never felt so nervous in his life . At the moment, it felt like his heart was going to explode . He could not even hear anything on top of his own heartbeat .
Even so, the softness of Yu Zi's lips made him reluctant to let go . He knew that it was wrong to kiss her when she was asleep, but he did not want to let go . Instead, he kissed her harder .
After a while, he finally convinced himself to stop . He did not dare to look at Yu Zi either since he was afraid that he would only make more mistakes . Thus, he turned around and left in shame .
On the other hand, Yu Zi did not know what had happened to her .
Even after she was woken up by her alarm, she could not recall what had happened last night . She just felt that her lips were a little swollen .
Yu Zhi let out a grumble and covered her face with her hands .
Last night… It seemed like she had an unbelievable dream last night .
She dreamt that she had kissed Yan Huaian!

She did not have such a dream when she was first dating Yue Jingchen .
Yu Zi made a noise that sounded like she was about to cry . How much did she like Yan Huaian to have dreamt such a dream?
Yu Zi felt sluggish . She did not want to get out of bed, so she covered herself in her blanket and wrapped herself into a burrito . Then, she rolled around on her bed .
After a while, she reluctantly got out of bed . When she looked into the mirror, she noticed that her lips were indeed swollen . They looked much fuller .
Yu Zi simply figured that she must have sucked her own lips when she was dreaming .
After cleaning up, she did her hair up into a simple ponytail before heading to Yan Huaian's house with her bag .
“You're up on time today . ” Yan Huaian smiled when he saw her .
Yu Zi did not dare to look at him, so she just mumbled a “yeah” . She noticed that the familiar smell of coffee was absent .
“Today we're having a Chinese style breakfast,” Yan Huaian explained while guiding Yu Zi to her seat .
He took out two bowls of porridge, two meat pies, a plate of fried noodles, and two plates of snacks .
“Did you make all this?” Yu Zi asked in surprise .
Although she did not care whether it was Chinese or Western-style, she was used to a Chinese-style breakfast . She had already had Western breakfast for two days straight, so she was surprised when she smelled the familiar scent of Chinese breakfast .
“I don't have the skills yet, even though I can make a Western breakfast just fine . I bought this downstairs,” Yan Huaian replied .
“Didn't you have to get up early for these?” Yu Zi asked whilst feeling bad .
“It wasn't that early . It was just like usual . ” Naturally, Yan Huaian would not say that he got up at 6 am, cleaned up, then hurried down to buy these from the restaurant downstairs so that he could get back by 7 am .
No matter how early or how tired he was, as long as he could see Yu Zi's happy face, he would be satisfied .
