Ran Xiangsi had a comfortable sleep and woke up once before the sky was fully bright.
Last night was wild again...
Turning her head to look at the other side of the large bed, Ran Xiangsi surprisingly found that Xing Chen hadn’t gotten up yet?
Usually, by the ti she woke up, Xing Chen would long be gone. What was different about today?
He lay on his back, breathing evenly, while she rested her head on his arm, nestled in his embrace.
Did he hold her all night long?
No wonder she slept so soundly last night...
Ran Xiangsi couldn’t help but smile, moving closer to study Xing Chen’s face.
His sharp, sword-like brows seed as if they were sculpted by heaven itself...
His high bridge of the nose, cool and thin lips.
Even his skin was impossibly perfect.
Thinking about his passion last night, Ran Xiangsi couldn’t help but sneer a little.
"Am I really in love with you?" she murmured, as if asking Xing Chen, or perhaps herself.
Of course, no one answered her question. The surroundings were quiet. Ran Xiangsi sighed and laid back on his chest.
"But, mom told that falling in love could lead to being hurt... Will you hurt in the future? If that day really cos, should I leave you? I guess I wouldn’t want to, right? Having you around makes life so much better. Without you, I’d surely be very uncomfortable?"
After talking to herself for so long, Ran Xiangsi’s heart was still filled with uncertainty.
The lack of maternal and paternal love from childhood had not taught her how to love, nor how to maintain a romantic relationship.
For her, eting Xing Chen was a heavenly arrangent, and their love the greatest gift from heaven.
However, she didn’t understand how to sustain such a relationship for the long term...
In love, she was not only a child but also a novice, understanding nothing at all.
What lies ahead, who could foresee?
Half-awake, she fell asleep once more.
...
After an unknown period of ti, Xing Chen, who had been fast asleep, suddenly awoke from a nightmare.
The events of his childhood, without any warning, played out once again in his dreams.
Xing Chen abruptly sat up in bed, his breathing uneven, even a bit labored.
His forehead was drenched in sweat, soaking into his soul.
Instinctively, he wanted to raise a hand to wipe away the sweat, but just as he barely lifted it, soone beside him already started to do so.
As it turned out, when Xing Chen awoke, Ran Xiangsi was also startled awake.
She imdiately guessed that Xing Chen must have had a nightmare, and it wasn’t hard to figure out given what he had talked about before.
She wiped the sweat off his forehead, not asking what he dread about, only comforting him gently, "Xing Chen, I’m here, you’re not alone. I’ll protect you..."
She stubbornly repeated these words; though they sounded a bit childish, they were her most determined thoughts.
Just as Xing Chen protected her, she also wanted to protect him.
Xing Chen used to be unable to sleep all night after dreaming about his childhood.
Because he knew that as soon as he fell asleep, those nightmares would return to his mind.
But now, knowing that Ran Xiangsi was by his side, he felt a bit more at peace.
