There was nothing but silence in the room. The man lying on the bed had his eyes tightly closed,


    entuated by his long eyshes that were as dense as feathers. The gentle light from the orange


    deskmp cast a shadow on his tall, defined nose.


    Renee saw no response from Stefan, so she leaned down and got closer to him. As she observed him


    carefully, ripples of inexplicable feelings rose in her heart.

    “Dude! Leaving all else aside, you do have such a pretty face! Why did God bless you with such


    beauty?”


    Renee was once again mesmerized by Stefan’s wlessplexion. Stefan had perfectly defined


    features and great skin. She wondered if he had been using some high-ss skin care products for his


    wlessly smooth skin.


    Renee had been fooled many times before and became much more vignt. She pushed Stefan and


    warned again, “I’ll say it again. Don’t use the same trick again!”


    Stefan did not move or respond.


    “Are you still pretending? I have plenty of ways to deal with you!” Renee said. After that, she


    mischievously pinched Stefan’s nose and tried to obstruct his breathing.


    Even so, Stefan still did not respond.


    “Not awake yet?” Renee furrowed her brows and warned harshly, “Then don’t me me for using my


    top-secret weapon!”


    Renee waved her arms and stretched her muscles right after saying that. Then… she began to tickle


    Stefan.


    She kept tickling him at different speeds, sometimes lightly and sometimes hard. She was sure that


    even someone with a strong determination would have no way to hold back and endure.


    “Still no response?”


    Renee let out a long sigh and finally believed that Stefan was really in aa. Seeing that he was still


    unconscious, she somehow felt a little more rxed, less tense than before.


    “Okay, okay. I’ll believe it for now. You’re really unconscious.” After saying that, Renee began to take


    care of Stefan, sparing no effort.


    First, she washed his face and hands. Then, she gave him water and medicine. Finally, she yed him


    a piece of soothing music. The doctor mentioned that, in his case, it would be easier for him to recover


    in afortable and rxed environment.


    Renee was unsure if Stefan had recovered. In the end, she began to rx in thefortable and


    rxing atmosphere and fell asleep not long after…


    Renee rested on the edge of the bed and slept very well. Her thick and luscious ck hair scattered on


    the bed somehow gave off the feeling of a tenacious weed.


    Stefan opened his eyes. Warmth and happiness flew in his heart as he saw the woman who was taking


    care of him.


    Stefan was already awake when Renee tickled him. However, he had a strong determination and could


    endure far better than the average person.


    He was afraid that Renee’s gentleness would be gone as soon as he woke up, so he simply pretended


    to remain unconscious…


    Stefan reached out his hand in the quiet and cozy atmosphere and gently ced his hand on her head.


    As he patted her like coaxing a child, her hair slipped through his fingers like a silky waterfall.


    Renee sensed something odd and jumped on her guard. She questioned him coldly, “What are you


    doing?”


    Stefan’s hand froze in mid-air. The gentle look on his face was quickly reced by his usual


    inscrutability. “You’re such a tough woman,” he said tly. “You’re still defensive even when you’re


    asleep.”


    Renee red at Stefan and snapped, “Of course, I have to be on guard! If I stay stupid, I would’ve died


    many times!”


    “You always see the worst in people. You’re always strong, just like a rose with thorns but curled up like


    a weak, tiny rabbit while asleep. Maybe deep inside, you long for someone to embrace and protect you,


    giving you something to fall back on…”


    “Nonsense. Absolutely not!”
