Chapter 124 - Perfection

It was already bright outside by the time Xiao li woke up the next morning. However, because of the thick curtains, the room was dimly lit. She felt pleasantly surprised and exceptionally touched when she opened her eyes to Jingyi Wang's peacefully, sleeping face.

She did not know what time the man had returned to the room last night.

The heavy weight of his palms, which quietly lay on her waist as his arms encircled her shoulders, easily allowed her to feel the warmth coming from them.

Nothing is more blissful than waking up beside him. Because of the man, she began her day in a joyous mood.

Even though she had woken up, she was not in a hurry to get up. Instead, she quiety snuggled up to him as she examined his face.

To her surprise, the man was particularly good looking even in his sleep. When he was awake, he was God's favoured person and A.B's elite leader with an emperor like brilliance.

It seemed that once he opened his handsome, ocean blue eyes, his delicate features and aura would encompass darkness and haughtiness.

He shed off his armor of thorns, though, in his quiet and deep sleep. Different from the usual brilliance, his handsome features were utterly tender. Her gaze, then fell on his sexy, thin lips.

His lips were very thin and perpetually looked haughty and even slightly stern.

She subconsciously reached a finger out to his mouth, carefully sketching his lip shape according to it's outline.

This man was extremely affectionate and sincere.

Her gaze shifted to his eyes. With his eyes shut in his sleep, she could see that they were deep set and framed by thick and long lashes.

From his ridiculously long lashes and deep set eyes, she understood from whom he inherited his beautiful lashes from. Like the features of a black phoenix, their lashes were simply so beautiful that they would cause an uproar in both men and women.

She felt a little jealous of him.

Why did God love this man so much that he got sculpted into perfection?

She secretly extended her hand to play with his lashes, rubbing them between her fingers from time to time.

'Too thick' she thought to herself.

Like a mischievous cat, she comfortably nestled in his embrace and lazily played with his eyelashes without getting sick of them.

At that moment, the man frowned in annoyance in his sleep and subconsciously reached out to smack her naughty hand away.

Feeling indignant, she again reached out to fiddle with his eyelashes when he fell into a deep sleep again. Her finger gently kneaded the peak of his brow before coming back to his glabella to try and smooth out the creases there.

She thought, 'Why did this man wear a stern look with a frown on his face even in his sleep?'

As she thought of that, she attempted to smoothen his knitted brows by carefully kneading them.

Instantly, his eyes suddenly opened, his blue eyes were clear with consciousness. She fell into a moment of distress.

"You are awake?"

Her eyebrows knitted as she bit her lower lip. Her movement were clearly very gentle.

Unknowingly to her, this man was a light sleeper; even the gentlest movement would easily startle him awake.

His eyes glinted the moment he opened them, but as his blurry vision cleared up and took in her delicate appearance, his piercing gaze gradually faded.

Earlier this morning, she had woken him up when she slightly turned over. He could vaguely sense someone secretly playing with his lashes in his trance.

After he brushed her hand away, she till went on to play with them again.

Xiao li meekly asked, "You are awake? Did I wake you up?... Well, you probably slept very late last night?"

Jingyi Wang looked at her and asked, "What were you doing?" his voice was hoarse and low with sleepiness, which sounded especially sexy that she instantly went limp and nump.

Her conscience pricked her as she gulped and gave an evasive answer, "Nothing much..."

How could she say that she got bored when she woke up, hence she secretly played with his eyelashes?

Or could she even say that she was unable to resist playing with his beautiful, long eyelashes just because she got envious of him.

If she said that, he would definitely tease her to death.

"Nothing much?" The man, however smirked with apparent doubt on her statement. "I see that you are looking quite energetic this morning"

A blush crept up her face as she defended herself at once, "Well, I've had enough sleep"

"So what?" one of his good looking brows arched.

Must she also wake him up, then?

The woman peered at him, unable to resist giving him an explanation. "Erm... I got bored from waking up early, so I took the chance to count your lashes while you are still asleep"

Count his lashes?

What kind of game was that?

He frowned quizzically at her, "Have you finished counting then?"

"No"

It was impossible to count them. They were as thick as the hair of a brush. If she had such dense lashes like his, she would definitely not need to waste her effort on applying mascara.

As soon as she finished speaking, the man's towering figure rolled over and pressed on top of her body. With his hand supporting his weight at her side, he reached out and lifted a lock of her hair from the pillow to his nose with the other. His eyes drooped as he sniffed in it's fragrant in enjoyment.

His eyes, however, gleamed with mischief when he opened them again. "I will give you another chance then" Jingyi Wang smirked as he leaned in closer to her. He was so intimately close that their noses and mouth touched.

With his warm breath fanning her face, a clear, yet low voice rang in her eyes, "Count the number of lashes I have"

Xiao li blushed upon hearing his words and evaded his penetrating gaze. She said, "I'm not counting anymore"

"Why?" he stroked her silky hair. "You were clearly having fun moment's ago"

She was too lazy to repeat her earlier action. "It's too much. It's impossible to count them all"

Jingyi Wang, "..."

Was she not counting then earlier?

"Okay" the man crooked a smile at her before lazily kissing the corner of her lips. "Since you are so energetic this morning, let's do something else instead of counting lashes"
