Lu Yizhou awoke to the pitch black room and Ellen's soft breathing against his neck.
He had not bothered to turn on the lights earlier hence it was not weird that the room was dark. However, he still knew that a cruise ship was supposed to supply enough lighting outside for guests who preferred to have a late night fun. Night on a luxurious cruise ship could be considered to be the peak of romantic vibes; couples wouldn't possibly pass up on the opportunity to have a dreamy rendezvous.
But this was too dark, Lu Yizhou noticed in alarm, the unusual kind that made people feel like they had gone blind; it was like a thick layer of shadows had descended into the world and the only thing Lu Yizhou could hear was the soothing crashes of the waves.
Fortunately, his eyes quickly adjusted to the lack of light.
