After giving Ling her medicine, by the latter half of the night, she was finally sleeping soundly.
Wanying slept on the inside, with Ling nestled in the middle. Pei Yan lay on the outside in a protective stance, guarding them both.
After what had happened, neither of them could sleep.
For one, they were worried about Gu Xun.
For another, they feared Ling's high fever might return. A child getting a scare was something that had to be taken seriously.
Pei Yan stretched out a long arm and rested it on Wanying's waist.
"Ah Yin."
"Hmm?"
"I..."
He started to speak, then stopped. This wasn't like him at all.
He had a dominant personality and had always done as he pleased and spoken his mind without reservation.
'This really isn't like Pei Yan at all!'
Wanying looked up, but she couldn't see a thing in the darkness. She could only reach out and touch Pei Yan's arm.
"What's wrong?"
The man was silent, so Wanying pressed on, "Are you jealous again?"
