"Yun Ran!"
"Wake up!"
Just as Yun Ran’s fingers touched the barrier, she suddenly heard soone calling her.
A flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and an enormous suction force engulfed her from behind like a whirlpool in a storm, instantly pulling her in.
Yun Ran exclaid and abruptly opened her eyes, only to find herself gazing into a pair of deep, unfathomable black eyes.
In front of her was the familiar handso face of Nangong Mo.
His brow furrowed tightly, an expression of worry, panic, and gravity that she had never seen before, along with a faint trace of fear.
Yun Ran paused her breath and instinctively called out to him, "Nangong Mo?"
In the next mont, she was enveloped in his embrace, held tightly, as if afraid she would disappear if he let go.
With their bodies close, Yun Ran could clearly feel his heartbeat, pounding so quickly. It seed like he was afraid of sothing, or perhaps it was a lingering anxiety after losing sothing precious and then regaining it.
Yun Ran gently extended her hand to return his embrace, softly saying, "Nangong Mo..."
"I am here."
The man’s voice was low and husky, a bit hoarse.
Yun Ran blinked lightly, "I’m almost suffocated by your grip... I’m about to be strangled to death!"
The man’s body stiffened, he loosened his grip a bit, but didn’t let go, resting his chin on the top of her head, hoarsely said, "Lin Wanyue, you’re finally awake."
Yun Ran blinked in confusion, "Did I... sleep for a long ti?"
"Yes."
"You’ve been in a coma for over seven hours."
Yun Ran was a bit surprised, she had been asleep for so long?
Roughly when she t Weixi was around the end of morning, and in no ti the Crown Prince arrived, and then started talking to her about Consort Lan’s matters...
Halfway through listening, she just lost consciousness.
And now it’s...
"Is it already midnight?"
"Yes."
"Are you hungry? There’s porridge warming on the stove, shall I have soone bring it in?"
Yun Ran shook her head lightly, "I don’t feel like eating now, can we wait a little while?"
"Okay."
Why did she faint all of a sudden?
The more Yun Ran thought about it, the stranger it seed.
She knew Lin Wanyue’s body was weak, and also that the two of them didn’t seem fully connected yet. Sotis she would inexplicably feel dizzy.
And indeed she had fainted a few tis, but every ti it was because of that... then...
This ti, she hadn’t felt any discomfort in her body...
Could it be that she fainted for no reason?
Or perhaps Nangong Jue did sothing secretly?
Yun Ran’s thoughts ran wild, her mind feeling a ss, she couldn’t help but nuzzle into Nangong Mo’s chest.
"Nangong Mo..."
"I am here."
"I just had a dream..."
"Hmm?"
"I dread I beca a ghost..."
Nangong Mo’s breathing hitched, instinctively holding her tighter, "Dreams are always the opposite. You will be fine, safe and sound, absolutely nothing will happen."
Yun Ran chuckled softly, "Nangong Mo, are you afraid I might die?"
"Don’t talk nonsense!"
"You won’t die!"
"I won’t let you die!"
The man’s tone was sowhat fierce, not gentle at all, yet Yun Ran smiled.
She patted him gently on the back, "Alright~ I won’t die~! I was talking about the dream!"
"Mm."
"I dread of floating, floating for a long, long ti, then finally floating back ho, seeing my family, and even seeing myself."
Nangong Mo’s breath hitched slightly, his gaze trembled, and he instinctively tightened his arms, feeling the reality of her presence in his embrace, only then did his heart begin to calm.
She had been in a coma and wouldn’t wake up, and the household doctor just shook his head, saying it was up to her own will to decide if she would wake.
And she had been muttering all sorts of things in her sleep.
Sothing about barriers from her senior brothers and sisters, and testing if she could return to her own body.
He knew, that perhaps she was talking in her sleep, but she wasn’t speaking nonsense.
He thought, maybe she had dread of those scenes.
When he heard her say it directly, the panic and fear washed over him like a tidal wave.
He was so close to losing her.
Yun Ran sensed his slight trembling, blinking in confusion, "Nangong Mo, have you stayed with the whole night without eating?"
"Yes."
"Then go eat quickly."
Yun Ran tried to get out of his embrace but was held tightly, pinned in his arms, "I’m not hungry."
His actions, although gentle, were undeniably domineering.
Yun Ran simply settled back comfortably in his arms.
"Nangong Mo, are you too worried about to eat?"
"No."
"Liar! I don’t believe you~!"
"Nangong Mo, you know what? I was floating in the air, watching my own body right in front of , it was such a weird feeling!"
"You probably can’t understand it, it’s like my soul left my body and then returned, but returning felt..."
Before Yun Ran could finish, he suddenly pushed her away a bit, leaned in, and kissed her chattering lips.
Yun Ran blinked blankly, bewildered: She was talking nicely, why did he suddenly... lose control?!
"Don’t talk!"
"I didn’t... hmm..."
Having gone almost the whole day without eating, and being kissed dominatingly by him for a long ti, Yun Ran felt her head spinning, ready to transcend at any mont...
Nangong Mo finally let her go.
He lowered his gaze, deep eyes watching her rosy face.
At this mont, truly feeling her warmth, hearing her breath, gently inhaling her scent, she was tangibly by his side.
At last, his heart was at peace.
He raised his hand, gently grazing his fingertips over her tender red lips, huskily said, "Don’t talk like that again."
Yun Ran blinked with innocent eyes, "Talk like what?"
The man’s eyes narrowed slightly, leaning close to her ear, murmuring, "Do you need to help you rember carefully?"
The dangerous tone made Yun Ran shrink her head, cowering in an instant, "No—no need! I’ve already rembered!"
"Really?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
To divert his attention, Yun Ran suddenly had a bright idea, "Also, I’m hungry!"
Only to hear the man chuckle low beside her ear, his slightly hoarse voice in the dark was inexplicably alluring, "Hungry? Shall I feed you?"
Yun Ran: "???"
It took her a mont to understand his aning, twitching her lips, her mind filled with black lines.
Who wanted to eat... him? This scoundrel!
"Nangong Mo, has your conscience run away again?"
"Yes."
Yun Ran: "..."
If there was even a speck of conscience left, he couldn’t have said that!
"Then go find it quickly, without it you’ll easily get beaten to death!"
Unexpectedly, the man raised his eyebrows, his expression serious yet utterly justified, "What’s the use of a conscience? I only need you."
Yun Ran: "..."
[Can’t you have both and a conscience?!]
Nangong Mo: No.
