The surprise came so suddenly that people often doubted its reality, just like Muwan that day.
She woke up groggy and was startled to see Gu Jiangnian; that intense heart palpitation and trembling couldn't be properly described in a short span of time.
She thought it was an illusion, that she was still in the midst of that lavish dream.
Gu Jiangnian held a cup in one hand, and wrapped his other arm around her, collecting her full gaze of disbelief and doubt into his own, his heart aching unbearably.
He gently stroked and massaged Jiang Muwan's waist, with a force neither light nor heavy, but enough to bring Jiang Muwan back from her dreams,
and then he spoke in his usual deep, low voice, "It's me, you silly girl."
That "It's me" made Jiang Muwan tremble as if abruptly snapping back from a dream.
