"Stop fussing," Tang Si tightened his embrace, pulling her close into his arms, burying his head into her neck, inhaling her scent, his voice raspy and slightly tired, "Stay with me while I sleep for a bit."
Saying this, he gently kissed her collarbone and then held her as he drifted into a tranquil sleep.
Song Yi licked her lips, sensing his voice was truly exhausted, so she stayed still without making a sound.
...
How long the time passed was unknown, the night was approaching as the dusky sun hung at the horizon.
Some dim rays beamed into the living room.
The man slowly opened his eyes, seeing the woman held in his arms asleep blissfully.
He began to seriously examine her face, noticing a hint of fatigue, realizing she probably hadn't slept last night, waiting for him all along.
His fingertip lightly brushed across her cheek, tender and filled with affection.
In the past, coming back from a case, no matter how bitter or tired outside, he had always borne it alone.
