In the night, before dinner time, Li Hua's sleep broke and she found her bare back resting against Lóng Wei's chest. Her cheeks flushed red thinking about how intimate they both were. The room was covered in darkness and only a small amount of moonlight fell in, which had illuminated only a small part of the bedchamber.
She tried to move away, but Lóng Wei wouldn't let her. His grip was firm around her. He drew her close and kissed the back of her shoulder. "Li Hua, you are awake," he asked, and she hummed at him.
"I think I hurt you," Lóng Wei whispered.
"No, Your Highness. I am a little sore," Li Hua replied, tilting her head to look at him. Luckily, she could see her eyes in the faint light, and she ended up blushing again. "It was amazing," she said, and lowered her eyes.
"I will ask the servant to prepare the hot water bath for us," Lóng Wei said.
"For us?" Li Hua arched her brow in confusion.
