The night grew deeper.

Moonlight streamed through the sheer curtains into the room, casting a silvery-white patch of light on the floor.

The cold winter wind whistled softly against the glass, making a faint whistling sound.

Shen Ye's breathing gradually became long and even.

He lay on his side on the bed, the blanket pulled up to his waist, one arm draped over the edge of the bed, rising and falling gently with the rhythm of his breathing.

The room was quiet, with only the clock on the wall ticking away.

Time passed by, second by second.

11:30.

Twelve o'clock.

12:30.

Shen Ye's breathing became more and more steady, his eyelashes drooped quietly, and he entered a deep sleep.

Just then, a very faint sound came from the bedroom doorway.

"squeak--"

It looked like something was moving slowly.

The sound was very soft, so soft that it was almost drowned out by the ticking of the clock.

Shen Ye, fast asleep, was completely unaware of this and remained immersed in his dreams.

Through the crack in the door, a pair of beautiful eyes peered inside.

Lin Chunuan almost held her breath.

She squatted on the floor of the corridor, her small face pressed against the door frame, her pupils reflecting the figure lying on the bed inside the room.

My heart was pounding in my chest, each beat a heavy thud.

Too close!

If her brother just rolls over slightly or opens his eyes, he'll find her there!

But Lin Chunuan did not back down. She bit her lower lip and unconsciously clenched the hem of her pajamas.

She knew it was wrong to do this.

Sneaking into her brother's room... This behavior is so strange, so abnormal.

However, she simply couldn't tolerate her brother wearing another girl's hat today.

I waited outside for about ten more minutes.

Lin Chunuan pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the room.

Shen Ye's breathing remained steady and long, without any change.

She should be sound asleep by now, right?

She carefully stood up, slowly inserted her fingers into the crack in the door, and then pushed the door open little by little.

The sound of the door hinges turning rang out again, this time clearer than before.

Lin Chunuan's heart clenched suddenly.

She held her breath, frozen in place, staring intently at the figure on the bed.

Shen Ye did not react.

Lin Chunuan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the room. She wasn't wearing slippers, her bare feet treading on the floor, and she approached Shen Ye with almost hesitant steps.

She crouched down, rested her head on the edge of the bed, and looked up at Shen Ye's sleeping face.

The moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a soft, silvery glow on his face.

His features appeared exceptionally deep in the moonlight.

A high, straight nose, thin lips, and slightly droopy eyes.

He looks even better when he's asleep than when he's awake.

Lin Chunuan's gaze fell on her brother's lips, and her Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

I really want to...

But reason told her that now was not the time; she was there to do something important.

After looking at it for a long, long time, Lin Chunuan reluctantly turned her gaze away.

She tilted her head and looked at Shen Ye's arm.

One arm was draped outside the blanket, the hand was slightly curled, the fingers were long and fair, and the knuckles were distinct.

Lin Chunuan's eyes lit up.

This is it!

She reached into her pajamas pocket and pulled out a small object—a roll of measuring tape.

She bought this online, specifically for measuring sizes.

Lin Chunuan held her breath, her fingers trembling slightly as she unfolded the measuring tape.

She had to be very careful not to wake her brother.

In the darkness, Lin Chunuan bent down and gently and carefully placed the soft measuring tape on Shen Ye's fingers.

The room was too dark, with only a little moonlight coming from outside the window.

She had to put her eyes very, very close to the ruler to barely make out the markings.

Warm breath sprayed onto the back of Shen Ye's hand. The heat was like a feather gently brushing against his skin.

Shen Ye's fingers twitched slightly.

Lin Chunuan was startled and froze instantly, not daring to breathe.

Fortunately, it only moved slightly and then stopped responding.

call.......

Lin Chunuan breathed a sigh of relief.

That was close...

She lowered her head again and continued taking measurements.

She had to measure each one several times to ensure the data was accurate.

The soft ruler felt cool against Shen Ye's skin, but his hands were warm.

While measuring, Lin Chunuan secretly rubbed his skin with her fingertips.

So warm.

I want to hold it forever...

She swallowed, her ears burning slightly.

After measuring for a very long time, Lin Chunuan finally finished measuring all the necessary data.

She carefully rolled up the measuring tape and tucked it back into her pajama pocket.

Then, she raised her head again and took one last look at her brother's sleeping face.

Under the moonlight, Shen Ye's profile was as perfect as a sculpture.

Lin Chunuan couldn't help but reach out, her fingers hovering above his cheek, wanting to touch him.

But in the end, they took it back.

No, at least not now.

Lin Chunuan reluctantly withdrew her gaze and left quietly, just as she had come.

After leaving her brother's room, she quickly ran back to her own.

She closed the door, jumped onto the bed, and immediately took out her phone, opened a shopping app, and clicked on a link in her favorites.

That was a page for customized products.

The customer service chat window is open, and the previous chat history is still displayed.

Lin Chunuan typed rapidly, sending the measured data line by line.

Can you do it?

The message has been sent.

The screen displays "[The other party is typing...]".

A few seconds later, customer service replied.

【Yes, we can make it! However, since it's a custom-made item, it needs to be handmade, and it will take about a week to ship.】

Lin Chunuan frowned slightly.

A week? That's too long.

She didn't want to wait that long.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard: "I'll pay more, can you hurry?"

Message sent.

Customer service responded almost instantly.

【Hi, do you need expedited service?】

Lin Chunuan: [Yes, how quickly can it be done?]

Customer service responded quickly: "If you need expedited service... it can be completed within three days, and then shipped to you as quickly as possible! Expedited service costs twice the original price."

Lin Chunuan looked at the screen and typed without hesitation: 【Sure, money is no problem, the sooner the better.】

The customer service representative sent a happy emoji: "Okay, dear! We'll arrange expedited production right away! It will definitely be finished within three days and shipped out the same day! Don't worry!"

Lin Chunuan looked at the message and finally smiled.

Three days, just three days...

She'll then be able to have that thing...

She lay on her back in bed, held her phone up to her eyes, and looked at the order details on the screen.

Hand model...
