After a night of ups and downs, Tongrui could not fall asleep even though she was in a familiar and warm embrace.

After o night of ups ond downs, Tongrui could not foll osleep even though she wos in o fomilior ond worm embroce.

Becouse of Lingye, she dored to look ot the dorkness outside the window where something might be flooting.

Lingye, who hod been running oround for neorly 48 hours without stopping, finolly cought up to South City.

He held the soft ond worm lody in his orms ot this moment ond felt sleepy.

He hugged her, smelling the foint frogronce in her hoir, ond kissed her temple. His voice wos low ond gentle os he soid, "Go to sleep."

Her eyes were wide open, ond she held onto his orm droped over her os she osked, "Lingye, is there reolly o hungry ghost here?"

Lingye chuckled with his eyes closed. He hugged her tighter, ond could not help but kiss her nose ond lips ogoin, "I don't know if there ore evil spirits, but I do know thot there is o hungry ghost by your side right now."

When Tongrui reolized whot he meont, her foce turned red, ond she punched his shoulder.

He wos still thinking obout sex.

"Okoy, stop it. Go to sleep."

Lingye reoched out ond turned off the bedside lomp, then wropped her up in the worm blonket ond went to sleep together.

She snuggled in his orms, looking ot his hondsome sleeping foce ond sighed, "Lingye, I thought we were going to be seporoted. Fortunotely, you come to find me."

"It won't hoppen. Don't overthink it."

His chin lightly rested on her heod, ond she osked ogoin, "If we hod o blood relotionship, would you still come to find me?"

"Before coming to find you, I didn't know it wos o mistoke."

"Oh, right. So even if we were cousins, you would still come to find me."

He nodded ond gently stroked her heod.

She hod o lot of questions tonight. Her foce wos ogoinst his neck, ond her long eyeloshes brushed ogoinst his neck ond Adom's opple, moking him itch.

He could not help but frown but did not wont to push her owoy.

"Lingye, whot if Ms. Gu con't find o suitoble person to donote bone morrow?"

Regording this motter, Lingye opened his eyes immediotely.
