Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet also like just a moment.

The man lying on the couch slowly quieted down, though his face remained pale, and the occasional trembling of his body suggested that perhaps his insides were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.

Gu Shengyin let out a breath of relief; no matter what, after enduring that initial bout of pain, the following period would be much better.

She wanted to pull her hand out and stand up, but found that the man was gripping her hand tightly, not relaxing at all.

To pull her hand out, she had to use force.

But looking at the man in such a rare vulnerable state, Gu Shengyin couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless.

She just sat on the chair by the couch, quietly watching the man.

...

Qi Chengxuan slept soundly.

He still remembered the pain at the beginning, like being scraped to the bone, yet after it passed, his whole body felt like soaked in a warm pool, comfortable and soothing, irresistible to indulge in.

He couldn’t recall how long it had been since he’d had such a good, unburdened sleep.

When he woke up, it was afternoon, and orange light was slipping into the room through the window.

Qi Chengxuan opened his eyes and sensed he was still holding onto something.

He returned to his senses, looking at the person held in his hands, asleep leaning sideways on the couch.

The warmth in his hands felt so real; Qi Chengxuan was in no hurry to get up, and just lay there quietly observing the serene face of this person.

From his angle, he could see Gu Shengyin’s long lashes lightly covering her eyes like little fans, her red lips slightly parted, occasionally revealing a glimpse of her vivid red tongue.

Qi Chengxuan inexplicably felt a bit thirsty.

Such intense, open gaze, even in her sleep, Gu Shengyin sensed it.

Feeling a little puzzled, she opened her eyes, a bit dazed due to not being fully awake.

Upon seeing Qi Chengxuan, she instinctively said, "Good afternoon."

While speaking, she seemed to want to do something, only then realizing her hand was still held by the man.

Gu Shengyin: "..."

She froze for a few seconds, her slow brain finally starting to work again.

Remembering the earlier events.

Qi Chengxuan regretfully watched the girl in front of him, as her expression changed from dazed to clear.

She surely didn’t know how adorable she looked like that, he thought to himself.

Gu Shengyin instinctively tried to withdraw her hand, but Qi Chengxuan secretly exerted force, not letting her succeed.

Half surprised and half displeased, Gu Shengyin called out to him, "Your Highness Prince Ping?"

Qi Chengxuan replied with a smile, "I haven’t asked Miss Chang yet why she kissed me while I was unconscious."

Gu Shengyin: "!!!"

What about being unconscious?

With a composed expression, she said, "Could it be that the Prince was too much in pain and fell into a hallucination?"

Qi Chengxuan’s gaze locked onto her, "Whether it was a hallucination, I’m quite clear about it."

Gu Shengyin remained silent, thinking to herself, ’I’ll just deny it, what can you do about it?’

Qi Chengxuan seemed to understand her intentions from her calm expression.

He smiled and said, "I actually have a way to prove whether I was having a hallucination just now."
