A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 172

Sage was used to sleeping alone, so she wasn’t comfortable sleeping beside Ian. Plus, it was too late for Ian to retire to the study.

Hence, she resorted to the age–old method of counting sheep to get herself to sleep. When she reached the 800th sheep, she was overcome with drowsiness and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Lost in the haze of sleep, she felt herself surrounded by warmth. The oppressive cold from the air conditioner penetrated every corner of the room. However, the warmth enveloping her was immensely comforting, causing her to lean back unconsciously.

However, she soon noticed that she was leaning against something stiff and hard. Before she could figure out what it was, she suddenly felt a warm sensation on the nape of her neck. It felt like something was gently sucking on her.

Sage tried to move, but she was trapped. She struggled with all her might for a moment and then sat up. Looking around, she realized nothing was holding her down.

The room was shrouded in darkness, save for the soft glow of the rabbit–shaped crystal lamp. She was in the middle of the bed, and Ian was lying next to her.

Ian stirred as if he had been roused by her movements. He opened his eyes and asked hoarsely, “What’s wrong?”

Sage stiffened for a moment before realizing something was amiss. She eyed Ian suspiciously and asked, “How did we end up sharing a blanket?”

Before drifting off to sleep, she distinctly remembered covering herself with her own blanket.
