Ji Xiaoxiao struggled and got up, but she didn't have the extra strength to get out of bed.
"Are you awake?" A deep male voice broke through the tranquility before dawn.
Her body was stiff, her heartbeat stopped momentarily, and she couldn't even breathe.
She felt him stand up, put the things on his feet on the bedside table, and then sit down on the bed next to her.
His hand reached towards her cheek and brushed away a few strands of black hair covering her face.
He could clearly feel the woman's flinching movements, avoiding his touch.
His hands froze and he took a deep breath: "Xiao Xiao? Can we talk about it?"
She didn't speak. She held the sheets tightly with both hands, face down, not looking at him or anywhere else, and remained motionless.
"Do you remember this place?" His hand reached out to her again and brushed her cheekbone with the back of his hand, the force so slight that it was almost non-existent.
She raised her head because of his words and looked around her surroundings
Look at the distance between the bed and the bathroom, and then look at the distance between the bed and the room door
She immediately understood that this should be the winery where she lived when she first came to the United States.
That's what she thought in her heart, but she didn't say it to him
Gao Shenran looked at her expression and naturally knew what she was thinking.
"At that time, you were quite shy, always quiet, like a little rag doll." He recalled everything in the past as clearly as if it happened yesterday.
However, it has been three months since then
Time becomes easier to pass because of her company
"Do you still remember how I taught you how to taste red wine? That batch of red wine is now on the market..."
"I'm so tired, I want to sleep." She interrupted him abruptly, quietly, lifted up the sheet, got in, and covered her head with the sheet.
Gao Shenran didn't stop her. He stretched out his hand, pulled off the sheet from her forehead, and pressed it to her chin.
Finally, he lay down next to her, lying flat on his back without hugging her, and fell into deep thought.
This night was the first time they slept in the same bed without hugging each other.
——————The scene dividing line of [**Life is just like the first time we met**]——————
When she fell asleep again, Gao Shenran was no longer in the room. The servant knocked on the door and came in to wait for her to change clothes and wash up.
Walking out of the bedroom, Gao Shenran was not there either, and the huge manor was deserted.
Only the burning fireplace makes the sound of burning wood.
"What about him?"
The servant was slightly stunned and asked: "Who is the young lady referring to?"
