Le Tong, who had come to trust Ji Rui deeply, had been sleeping quite well for the past few nights. But this night, she couldn't sleep well at all, tossing and turning with Yang Sheng's words running through her mind repeatedly.
In the middle of the night, Le Tong woke up several times intermittently, afraid of disturbing Ji Rui's sleep, so she dared not move too much.
Twice, Ji Rui, seemingly sensing the stiffness of the person in his arms through a haze of sleepiness, kissed her hair and asked, "What's wrong?"
Le Tong dared not move even more, and without her response, Ji Rui soon fell asleep again.
It wasn't until nearly dawn that Le Tong finally drifted off to sleep.
Ji Rui woke up as usual, looked at Le Tong in his embrace, noticed she was sleeping deeply, kissed her face, gently moved her from his arms, tucked her in, and propped himself up to look at her for a moment before quietly getting out of bed.
