It seemed that being in Shen Mu's boudoir had stirred up some feelings in Huo Yunxiao. Or perhaps it was because, in the pavilion, he heard Shen Mu's soft affirmation as he walked by. She said, "Whenever I need him, he's always by my side." Huo Yunxiao thought that all the chasing and effort he had put in over the years had finally warmed his heart a little.
He held Shen Mu in his arms, his hand caressing her waist, and pressed her onto the somewhat narrow bed. He was always patient and liked to respond to Shen Mu's every move, and he was doing the same now. Shen Mu opened her eyes slightly and felt the noonday sun shining through the window, casting a golden glow on Huo Yunxiao's head and her face. His thick black hair seemed to be coated with a golden light, making her see black and red halos in front of her eyes.
