Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Xinghe was injured and Jiahe needed to care for him, therefore Tongrui got herself a new room. Since they were a couple, it would be inconvenient for Tongrui to share a room with them.

Xinghe suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries. Jiahe dared not go to sleep. She decided to stay up all night and watch over him.

Xinghe patted the bed area next to him. He spoke in a hoarse and gentle voice, "Girly, come here and sleep with me."

Her legs would become numb if she continued to kneel by the bed.

"If I fell asleep, I wouldn't notice when something happened to you. Your wounds are quite serious. I should stay awake. Once I lie down on the bed, I'll definitely fall asleep right away."

Kneeling is a very uncomfortable position. I doubt I could fall asleep in this position.

Jiahe noticed that her boyfriend had opened his eyes, and he looked pallid and frail. She gently placed her hand over his eyes and urged, "You should rest to regain your strength."

Xinghe lifted his hand to remove her hand. After that, he wrapped her hand in his palm. He stared straight into her clear eyes and asked, "Aren't you curious how I got hurt?"

Jiahe bit her lower lips and shook her head. She replied, "Anyway, you're a good person in my heart."

Xinghe laughed when he saw her cute and innocent expression. He let out a smile and asked tentatively, "Did you think other people think of me as a heinous villain?"

Jiahe became grave in his demeanor. She said, "Perhaps you've done something bad, but I know you won't hurt me."

When the young girl said this, she dropped her long eyelashes and narrowed her watery eyes. Her expression was inexplicably confused and adorable.

Xinghe stretched out his long arm and circled around her neck. He pulled her head down until it rested against his.

Jiahe looked at him with a puzzled expression. She asked, "Are you in pain?"

"No."

"Then, you…"

His slightly cool and dried lips gently kissed her forehead. It was a gentle kiss, but it was filled with affection.

Jiahe's ears turned red when his lips moved. He had gotten close enough to her nose to tickle her, she wanted to scratch it and pushed him away.

When she reached out to push him, Xinghe suddenly coughed violently.

Jiahe got closer to him and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Xinghe took the chance to lift her onto the bed and hold her tightly in his arms.

Jiahe protested, "Xinghe, quickly let go of me. I'll touch your wounds!"

The man rubbed her head with his chin. He sighed, "Babe, I need to sleep. Stop moving around, and let me hold you like this. I'm exhausted."

Jiahe was at a loss for words.

It’s not a good idea for him to call me this. It's difficult for me to tell if he calls me that because he values me or because he sees me as a child. That word carried dual meanings, despite his calling me intimately.

Jiohe secretly roised her foce. She noticed thot he oppeored tired ond thot he hod closed his eyes to rest. She reoched out her hond ond gently hugged his neck. She whispered, "Then I'll sleep for o while too."

"Hmm, permission gronted."

Jiohe wos speechless.
