Luo Lixi moved ahead and rubbed her face on his belly. The cold touch of the fabric made her skin comfortable.

Sheng Ruming noticed her sneaky action. But when she went ahead and rubbed her soft face on his body, his body became stiff and his muscles became tout.

"Ruming, touch my face." Luo Lixi whispered while both of her eyes were closed. When Sheng Ruming did as she mentioned, Luo Lixi frowned, "You are hot. I thought your temperature was lower than mine."

Even though she was dissatisfied, Sheng Ruming stroked her hair and rubbed her head. This gave her a very comfortable feeling. 

"Lixi, aren't you hungry?" The man asked in concern. After all, she had yet to eat something and it's been so long.

"Not now. Later." But as soon as she said, her belly growled loudly. "Ah!" Even though she clutched her belly, it didn't stop right away. 

Her whole body tensed up as she slowly turned her face to see him. Even though the man's face was normal, the slight creases at the corner of his eyes were enough to tell her that he was laughing at her.

"Later? A huge earthquake has already happened in your body and you still say later?!" 

The man referred to her growling stomach but Luo Lixi misunderstood him. 

"Shameless!" Her face was flushed in redness and she hurriedly hid it by planting her whole face on his tummy.

'What did I even do wrong?'  Sheng Ruming wondered and thought he might as well ask her but when her glaring red ears fell on his vision, his heart felt ticklish.

"Rest a little longer. I will wake you up." Sheng Ruming rubbed her head. Luo Lixi hummed and then the whole room turned quiet.

Except for the additional sound of the key being touched, everything was too silent to the point where one would get suffocated.

The man also didn't leave and accompanied her the whole time. When his work was finished,  finally he frowned and glanced towards the clock.

His expressionless face froze as his attention turned towards her. "Lixi, it has been a long time. Wake up." 

His right palm nudged her slightly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt greatly irritated. "Don't disturb me!" 

In truth, Luo Lixi had the urge to just lay in the bed for the whole day and night. Even her hunger felt numb. Her body was a little sweaty.

Sheng Ruming ridiculed her, "Are you a sloth? How can you sleep for so long!" 

Luo Lixi bit down her lips and glared at his provocative words, "You… " 

'Just because my voice is broken, you have got the chance to slip away, humph! You damn Ruming!' Sheng Ruming was scolded a thousand times.

Watching her turning so quiet suddenly, he guessed that she was hurling insults in her mind. 

"You can't stay like this anymore." The man stood up and carried her to the washroom. Then he put her in the bathtub and filled it with warm water.

"You soak in for a little longer. I will be right back." 

"Hmm." Luo Lixi's eyes were closed while her hair was wrapped with a white towel. 

Sheng Ruming hurriedly left the washroom and gently closed it. Then in large steps, he went before the bed and dragged the blanket aside. His dark eyes stared at the bloodstain. 

Without thinking further, he picked the bed sheet and then turned back. 'The washroom door is enough for her not to notice anything…'

The man went to the corner of the room and took out a first aid box. At a glance, he noticed the scissor. 

Afterwards, when Luo Lixi opened the door slightly, she saw he was kneeling on the bed, the messed up bedsheets in his one hand while the other was busy cutting the area of her virgin blood.

Watching this scene, Luo Lixi silently closed the door and submerged herself in the water. Her tired body had already regained some strength so she washed her body hurriedly. 

"You are done?" By the time the man had arrived, she was already wiping her hair. 

"Yeah." After answering curtly, she exited the washroom. She raised her eye and turned towards the man standing behind. 

"It was messy so I have changed it into a new bed sheet." The man coughed.

"The earlier one?"

"I have given it to the staff for cleaning." The man replied so straightforwardly that if Luo Lixi didn't witness the scene earlier, she would have believed him.

"..."

It was clear that Sheng Ruming was reluctant to bring the topic again. She was dragged to the little table of the room and all kinds of delicacies were waiting for him.

"Seriously, I don't feel like eating anything." Luo Lixi lost her appetite as soon as the full table of food greeted her. 

But the man hardened his face and forced her to sit. "If you don't feel like eating then block your tasting sense and just gulp down everything."

Because of his stubborn persistence, Luo Lixi was forced to eat whatever he gave her. 

'Ah, his forcing tendency is kicking again!' Luo Lixi swallowed her dissatisfaction and gobbled down everything. 

"Do you want to go for a walk outside? It will be good for you." The man took her right hand and asked eagerly. 

When she nodded, both of them left the room. In the large bamboo forest, they wandered side by side while their hands were grabbing onto each other. 

Luo Lixi peeked at his face which appeared very re-energized and enthusiastic to her. She hesitated and then asked, "Aren't you… tired?" 

Sheng Ruming abruptly halted in his steps and turned towards her. 

"I mean, you did most of the things… I think you should have been the one who needed rest more than me…" 

Even though Luo Lixi felt awkward for asking this, she did it in the end because his overly bright face wasn't the thing she had expected to watch.
