Meds containing sleep aids used to have only a fleeting effect on him.
Yet when Su Yan slept with him, she slept straight from the afternoon until the next day.
Ji Yan awoke to the sensation of heat.
He opened his eyes.
Sweat beaded on his forehead.
Even his pale and sickly face now had some color.
In his arms, Su Yan was still tightly embraced by him.
Unmoving.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Su Yan spoke,
"You're awake?"
Ji Yan was dazed.
Perhaps because he had just woken up, his mind was still foggy.
After a moment, he looked at Su Yan again and saw her little face was flushed red.
Sweat was on her forehead, and she seemed hot.
But her expression didn't show the slightest hint of impatience.
She just let him hold her, not moving under the heavy blankets.
Only when Ji Yan finally spoke,
"Are you, very hot?"
Did Su Yan know that he was fully awake.
She nodded,
"Yeah, loosen up a bit."
As she spoke, she patted his arm, gesturing.
This time, Ji Yan let go.
