"Ah Han… can you stay with me tonight?"
His Dao Companion pleaded like a puppy afraid of being abandoned, and Pei Yuhang fell silent.
Outside, snow fell with a soft rustle. The candlelight swayed in the draft, casting their shadows onto the wall where they merged into a blurry, dark shape.
After a long moment, Pei Yuhang slowly sat back down on the edge of the bed.
Knowing Pei Yuhang was staying, a smile immediately blossomed on Ye Liyuan's lips, like a flower finally greeting the sun.
She snuggled obediently under the covers but refused to let go of his hand, hugging his arm tightly to her chest.
Her cheek rested against the back of Pei Yuhang's hand. Her breathing steadied, and the anxiety in her features slowly faded.
Pei Yuhang's gaze was heavy as he looked down at Ye Liyuan's peaceful, sleeping face.
