She was the one Xu Musen cherished in the palm of his hand.
But now, that all belonged to An Nuannuan.
And she seed to have beco the person who could only hide and secretly watch their happiness...
The exchange of fates made Yao Mingyue bite her lip slightly.
The call ended.
She looked at Xu Musen lying beside her and reached out to gently caress his cheek.
She could understand more and more why Xu Musen would let go of her and turn to like An Nuannuan.
But she wouldn't be content, nor would she give up.
She slowly leaned against Xu Musen and reached out her left hand to gently touch his cheek.
Gradually, she rested her head on his shoulder.
The two cuddled together, as if still driving away the cold from falling into an ice cave. Yao Mingyue slowly snuggled into his embrace, just pressing against his chest.
Feeling his slow and strong heartbeat was especially comforting. Xu Musen was still a bit cold; he subconsciously sought a warm embrace.
He instinctively held Yao Mingyue in his arms, his slightly cold hand touching her arm to draw warmth.
The two clung tightly together. Yao Mingyue was now wearing only her pajamas, their breaths, warmth, scents, and touches all made them want to get even closer.
Yao Mingyue felt the coolness of his palm; her own hand had not fully regained its temperature. She looked at Xu Musen's cheek.
Her face was a bit red. She slowly reached out, took Xu Musen's hand... and placed it where it was warst, closest to her heart.
n, perhaps it's an innate instinct; in an instant, Xu Musen beca much more behaved, yet a little naughty.
At this mont, Yao Mingyue felt her heartbeat quicken, her cheeks flush like blood. She gazed at Xu Musen and burrowed even deeper into his arms.
"You jerk..."
...
The next day.
Xu Musen felt that he did not sleep very well that night, his body alternately cold and hot, as if he had many nightmares.
He dreamt of the thunderous night six years ago.
He also dreamt of a previous life where he pulled Yao Mingyue into his embrace but ended up in a puddle of blood himself.
It seed as though the world was full of accidents that could take away the most important things in their lives.
Finally, he dreamt of himself jumping into the water, but this ti he couldn't save the person and instead began to sink deeper into the lake yourself.
The bone-chilling cold and the lusterless darkness enveloped them both, that indescribable feeling of despair.
But at that mont, he seed to faintly hear two voices close to his ear.
"Xu Musen, we are each other's light, we will defeat all the little monsters in life..."
"Xu Musen, don't leave alone anymore..."
It seed a light appeared on the surface of the ice: An Nuannuan, leaning on her cane, broke through the ice, allowing the light to shine into the water.
And Yao Mingyue didn't hesitate to jump into the water and held him tight, An Nuannuan also leaped in to embrace him...
Xu Musen's body seed to gradually regain warmth, with the most precious presences before and behind him.
Without either, he felt he might find it hard to bear.
He slowly opened his eyes...
In front of him, the sunlight was already coming through the window and falling on his face.
But whether in front or behind, it was all empty...
No, it felt like he himself was empty as well.
His head still felt heavy, and it took so effort to sit up.
Looking at the strange room beside him, he was a bit stunned; this didn't seem to be his room.
His mories hadn't fully loaded yet.
All he knew was that he had assured himself that Yao Mingyue was alright, and then he had lost consciousness.
He rubbed his temples, but his gaze suddenly caught the clothes on the bed.
There were his, and there were Yao Mingyue's, just intermingled and carelessly placed together. Xu Musen's mind blanked for a mont.
He looked down only to realize that he was devoid of clothes; even the two patient gowns were gone.
Bare as a newborn.
Xu Musen was silent for a mont, then he lifted the blanket, and beca even more silent. How could there be no underwear either?
And moreover, the blanket retained a lingering fragrance; it was a scent he knew well, belonging to Yao Mingyue.
A sinking feeling hit him, what exactly did he and she do last night?
Why was he naked, the scent in the blanket confirming they had slept together, and perhaps, they might have been cuddling, bare, and it seed like he faintly felt sothing very special...
Xu Musen's heart suddenly felt uneasy.
This Xiao Sickly Cutie... it wasn't impossible for her to do such a thing.
Distracted for a mont, he looked again inside the blanket and saw, to his shock, at the spot where both hands could lay flat, a little bit of blood.
Xu Musen felt as if struck by lightning. His suspenseful heart finally died!
What in the world happened last night?
"Yo, awake?"
As Xu Musen was slightly distracted, Yao Mingyue walked in carrying a bowl of soup.
Seeing Xu Musen still in a state of bewildernt, her face turned a shade of red and blazing hot for a mont.
Xu Musen didn't speak; for the first ti he felt sowhat panicked, watching the way Yao Mingyue walked.
