Chapter 295 - Cuddle (1/2)

9 am.

Jun Zixuan glanced at the woman sleeping in his arms, the soft smile on her face tickled his heart. Her brows tugged together when the sun rays hit her face.

He gently removed her head from his shoulder before turning to the side and grabbing the remote control from the bedside table. He pressed a switch and the glass of the balcony turned dark while a curtain draped over the glasses, forbidding the sunlight.

''Uhm...'' She made a small noise inching closer to her source of warmth.

Jun Zixuan threw the remote back to its place before turning around towards her. He pushed his shoulder below her head and pulled her towards himself such that she was cocooned in his arms. His fingers raked inside her silky tresses as he pressed a soft kiss on the top of her head.

She nudged her nose on his collarbone.

''Morning,'' His fingers trailed up and down her back.

''Mmm... Morning,'' Her voice came out extremely hoarse and rasp, ''How did you know I am awake..?”

''Is there something that I don't know about you?”

She pulled back from his chest to look at his face. His morning face was still so perfect as his messy ash-blonde bangs rested above his forehead, his brown eyes shined as he glanced at her. She ran her fingers on his sharp jawline, ''I think you know me too well,'' She smiled.

His fingers drew small circles on her back as he kept looking at her intensely until she couldn't take it anymore as she pressed her palm on his eyes, ''I haven't washed my face. I must be looking ugly,'' She frowned, not thinking that she possessed the looks of a greek goddess and would be shining all the while like him.

He grabbed her hand as he removed it from his hand before pressing a soft kiss on her wrist as he pulled her up such that their faces were inches apart, the blankets slightly slid off their bodies, revealing her cleavage. Her palm rested on his abdominal muscles while he kept stroking her back in gentle motions.

He pressed a soft kiss on the tip of her nose, ''You are beautiful,'' He said with his earnest eyes looking straight into hers. She was especially more beautiful at this moment as a soft blush stained her cheeks, while her dark eyes moved around, looking anywhere but him.

Her long hair sprawled over her shoulders. His hand moved from her waist to her hair as his fingers played with her tresses while they cuddled.

''Zixuan...''

''Mmm?”

She kissed his chin, ''I'll ask you something.''

''What is that?”

''Why did you never confess to me before...I mean back in our university days?” She was always curious about this since she got to know that he liked her.

He sighed, ''You were allergic to the concept of relatiosnhips or dating. And I was sure that I did not want to freak you out,'' He had always wondered why she was so detached.

At times, he was inclined to investigate more about her but he did not want to disrespect her by intruding on her privacy. He wanted her to tell him more about herself but unfortunately, that time never came until recently when she told him everything and he realized that she was recovering from her breakup.

''And why are you so good at hiding your feelings? You never tell me anything...'' She frowned slightly, ''Even if it hurts you, you don't tell me...''
