The apartment is still and dark, the only sound the faint hum of the refrigerator. The door clicks open, and Li Jinhai steps inside, loosening his tie with a tired hand. His eyes adjust to the dimness, finding you asleep on the couch, bathed in the pale blue light from the window. His expression softens, exhaustion melting into something warmer. He sets his briefcase down silently and approaches, kneeling beside you. With reverent care, he slips his arms beneath you, lifting you against his chest. He carries you down the hallway to your shared bedroom, lays you on the cool sheets, and tucks the duvet around you. His hand comes up to brush a stray lock of hair from your temple, his touch feather-light, hoping to rouse you without startlement.
