After Zhao Ming calmed down, she parted away from Ji Cheng and after crying for so long, she felt awkward and embarrassed. She wiped her face stained with tears and snot. She sniffled and her hair was already in a mess.

  She frowned, noticing his stained chest by her tears. She scrunched her brows because she can't believe that she was rubbing her messy face with his bare chest.

  ' He must be laughing at me right?' she wondered because she was feeling embarrassed thinking about her actions just now. She raised her head slowly to see him laughing at her or looking at her with contempt but his gentle yet worried expressions surprised her.

  He reached out and wiped her tears under her eyes and said, " Are you okay now? Do you want to cry more?" He asked.

  She pursed her lips and shook her head, her face was crimson due to embarrassment but she was feeling better after crying so much. The thing inside her which was burdening her felt quite better and that made her feel relaxed.

  She sniffled and reached out to wipe tear stains over his chest but as soon as his hand touched his chest, she felt weird because she was touching his bare chest and his uncomfortable expressions made the situation more awkward.

  She caressed it lightly, at which Ji Cheng looked away to control the tingling feeling and the electrifying sensations that her touch was sending him.

  She soon removed her hand and scratched her scalp awkwardly.

  She looked at Ji Cheng who was looking at her intensely and when their gazes met, he slowly leaned in for a kiss. She was feeling a little bit strange but her sense acted unconsciously and she followed the suit.

  "Grrrrrr"

  Just as their lips were about to meet, Ji Cheng heard a loud growl and when he looked down, he realized that it was her innocent stomach. Zhao Ming had her eyes closed, but her lower lip and cursed inwardly seeing the wrong timing of her monstrous stomach.

  He chuckled and said, " Ah, I didn't think that you must be hungry. After all, you didn't get to eat anything in the past few days and were only drinking medicines and soup." he said, remembering how they were giving her liquid things to have in the past days to survive.

  Zhao Ming laughed awkwardly and when something hit her, she asked, " Wait. How long have I been sleeping?" she asked in confusion. Because she had no idea how long and hours it was since she was sleeping.

  He took a deep breath and said," More than a week. That's why I was more worried about you."

  Zhao Ming listened to his words seriously and was at loss for words. Because she can't believe that she was sleeping for more than a week. If she was stuck in some parallel or mysterious place and couldn't get out of it, would her body have died or she had been in a coma until she comes out and eventually dies?-

  " Woah! That was delicious. I can't believe Lu Shi brought this much even at this time." Zhao Ming exclaimed in surprise while rubbing her satisfied stomach that she had filled with different delicious delicacies.

  The sun had already set and it was past dinner time and many people even went to sleep. Although if this was her time, the city would have been alive and people were just getting off from their work. The day ends here earlier than usual and starts as well. However, her day might end earlier but it can never start early.

  She is a lazy ass after all.

  At first, Ji Cheng ordered Lu shi to bring a simple porridge but she had some different plans. She secretly ordered Lu shi to bring a delicious full-course meal as she doesn't want to eat the porridge as she was already feeling bitter due to the medicine.

  She wanted to have something spicy and delicious to awaken her taste buds which were now dead due to the medicines.

  Although Ji Cheng protested,?she managed to coax him and ate the full course meal at night when everyone was sleeping. Except for the kitchen staff who cooked all these dishes.

  Ji Cheng shook his head seeing her satisfying expressions. She never changes when it comes to food. Since when she started to love food so much, that as soon as she woke up after being unconscious for a week, she had a full course meal? She remembered that she had eaten the same way after she had woken after being unconscious for three weeks after she drowned in the water.

  But he was glad that seeing her eating happily like this and her pale complexion was now showing some colors as well-

  In the morning, the sunlight was slightly passing through the curtains and falling on the two sleeping figures. Despite being the winter, the sun was quite bright and can be considered as one of the best days in the last few days.

  Ji Cheng who was sleeping while enveloping Zhao Ming in his embrace from behind opened his eyes slowly and a smile appeared on his face seeing her sleeping peacefully in his embrace. It's been days since he has slept so well.

  Otherwise, he would have woken up from his sleep multiple times just to check on her or stare at her, hoping she would wake up from this endless sleep. However, now he wasn't the only one holding onto her but she was also holding onto his hands which were around her abdomen.

  The morning felt warmer and beautiful than before since she woke up. He slowly turned around to look towards the window and realized that the sun was up but he didn't want to get up and disturb her beauty sleep.

  So he stayed like this for hours and watched her sleeping peacefully in his embrace. He raised his brows when she turned around in her sleep and faced him. Her eyes were still close, deep in slumber as she snuggled into his chest while pulling herself closer to his body.

  His lips curled up seeing her lips which were not chapped anymore and their color was returning, making it appear fuller and beautiful. Last night, before sleeping, she freshened up and applied something on her lips saying that this will make her lips soft and smooth by morning.

  He thought that it might not work since her health condition was too bad due to her being sickly for over a week. But now when he is seeing it, he is surprised and shocked that she was right.

  It did become soft and beautiful.

  He gulped as his eyes were fixated on her plump slightly moist lips which she was licking in her sleep. He leaned in, closing his face to hers, and just as his lips were about to touch hers, she opened her eyes wide.

  " Oh?"
