He swore not to cause a big fuss, yet in the end, he still made her cry.
She curled up in his arms, sobbing, with her smooth, porcelain-like back arched, her long hair half covering her rosy cheeks, and teardrops hanging from her thick lashes, looking pitiful yet incredibly endearing.
Shen Mo soothed her to sleep, kissed her forehead, then withdrew to wash his hands in the bathroom. After calming himself down, he returned to the bedroom and slept with his wife in his arms.

The next morning, Shen Mo, along with Ada, Natasha, Yuri, and himself had their usual balanced breakfast, then checked their weapons and ammunition, and set off punctually at 9:30.
By the time Bai Youwei got up, the house was already empty.
She brushed her teeth and washed her face at a leisurely pace, vaguely recalling that Shen Mo seemed to have kissed her in her half-asleep state and even said "good morning".
At this thought, she couldn't help but giggle, sweet as honey.
