She had been here for several days now, but these past nights, every time she fell into a deep sleep, she would abruptly experience a bout of palpitations and then wake with a start.
At first, she thought it might be due to the change of environment, which she wasn't used to, but several days had passed and it was still the same.
Why was that?
She caressed her chest, her brows gently furrowing. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't understand the reason, except... somewhere deep inside her, there was a vague feeling that something was about to happen, a persistent unease.
She made a concerted effort to breathe deeply, trying to steady her heartbeat; however, whenever she tried to sleep again, she found herself wide awake, almost until the break of dawn.
Bai Yixuan had been consistently showing up at Ling Chuxia's place every morning for the past few days, each time carrying a large quantity of steaming hot breakfast and then spreading it all over the dining table.
