He gives me a sense of security
In the quiet room, there was only the sound of Gong Yuning"s breathing, which was evenly matched with a hint of gentleness. He Lingchu"s gaze seemed to be infected by the quiet atmosphere, as if he was also infected by a layer of sleepiness.
He closed the book, got up, walked to the other side of the bed, and lightly sat down. Under the light of the lamp, Gong Yuning"s face was facing him, her long hair was spread out behind her back, some messy hair was on her chest, she was wearing an apricot dress, and without even changing clothes, she had fallen asleep just like that.
He Lingchu"s gaze was uncontrollably stunned by her sleeping appearance, it was as quiet as a princess", his eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, and even when he was asleep, he carried a kind of captivating charm.
He Lingchu"s long legs moved across the bed, he laid on his side and tried his best to stay as far away from her as possible.
He was afraid that he would disturb her sleep, but right now, Gong Yuning was too sleepy to know that he had gone to bed.
He Lingchu"s profound eyes lightly blinked. His long and narrow, enchanting eyelashes caused his eyes to be suffused with a hazy charm. His gaze fixated on Gong Yuning"s slightly moving red lips …
He couldn"t help but swallow a bit. Then, in order to prevent himself from having more thoughts, he closed his eyes. But after a while, he opened them again.
He knew that it was only a matter of time before he would be separated from her. Perhaps two days later, after this separation, he did not know whether he would be able to see her again, or how long it would be before he would see her again.
Thus, right now, he wanted to take a few more glances at her.
Her eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if she was having a nightmare wrap itself around her, causing her to feel fear in her sleep. The hand she placed on her chest suddenly tightened.
"Yu Ning …" He Lingchu immediately got close to her and gently caressed the back of her head with his large palm, "Yuning …"
Gong Yuning was indeed entangled by the nightmare. She was thinking about that killer, she was dreaming, dreaming that the killer"s target had suddenly become her. He was holding a gun and he was forcing his way towards her step by step, and she was retreating in fear.
At this moment, in her dreams, she was extremely terrified …
"Don"t... Don"t come near me... Go away... "Go away..." Gong Yuning struggled in her sleep as she stretched out her hand to push on He Lingchu"s chest. He Lingchu was startled, but at the same time, worried.
"Yuning, it"s me …" He took both her hands in an instant, trying to wake her from her nightmare.
And in the dream, Gong Yuning was being approached step by step by the killer, and suddenly, a person appeared in the middle of them. It was He Lingchu, and he was standing in front of her, blocking her way …
"Don"t... "Don"t worry about me …" Gong Yuning was about to go mad with fright. At this time, she couldn"t tell if this was a dream or reality. In the dream, she had thought that it was reality …
At this moment, she felt her heart stop, and she heard a gunshot …
"No …" Gong Yuning was extremely frightened, and at this moment, as she was struggling, her eyes opened in panic. She had awoken …
However, her frightened eyes made contact with a pair of eyes that were close to her vision. Her eyes that were filled with tears were overjoyed. She sat up, opened her arms and hugged the man on the bed tightly.
"You"re fine …" "It"s great that you"re fine." Only then did Gong Yuning"s heart finally return to her heart. After excitedly hugging it, she suddenly realized something late.
Just now, it seemed like a dream, not a reality …
And now, she was holding He Lingchu who was lying on the bed.
"Ugh …" Gong Yuning hurriedly and embarra.s.sedly withdrew her hand. Then, she frantically wiped the tears in her eyes; she felt really embarra.s.sed.
"You had a nightmare?" He Lingchu asked in a low voice.
Gong Yuning"s long hair was disheveled, there was still some lingering fear on her face, she nodded, "Un! had a nightmare. "
"I"m fine. I just need to wake up." He Lingchu comforted her.
She lightly went back to sleep, and He Lingchu also laid down on the other side, turning to look at her, "What did you dream just now?"
Gong Yuning thought back to the scene in his dream, that gunshot almost made her heart stop beating in pain. It was as if she had lost the feeling of someone she loved the most. It was both real and intense.
It was all caused by the man opposite him.
"Dreaming of the killer." Gong Yuning bit his lips and said.
He Lingchu could not help but look at her with a pained expression, "That a.s.sa.s.sin has already escaped. The police are currently trying their best to track his whereabouts. He won"t come back again."
This consolation made Gong Yuning"s heart feel much better. She had woken up just now and was still sleepy. She blinked, "Go to sleep!"
"Do you need to turn down the light?" He Lingchu asked.
"Alright."
He Lingchu turned off the main light and looked at the two people"s faces. The faint yellow light shone on their faces, making them look especially gentle.
In the quiet room, the two of them just stood there silently. Gong Yuning only felt her heart beating quickly, He Lingchu"s deep eyes seemed to be able to swallow a human"s cave, making her not dare to look anymore.
She buried half her face in the pillow, as if she was trying so hard to fall asleep.
Suddenly, an arm grabbed onto her wrist, causing her heartstrings to tremble. She raised her head, He Lingchu grabbed onto her arm, his body moved to her side, and she was pulled into his embrace.
"Ugh …" Gong Yuning was shocked.
"To prevent you from having nightmares again, I think it would be better if you slept in my arms." On top of his head, He Lingchu"s deep and magnetic voice suggested.
Gong Yuning blinked and did not refuse. Her face gently touched the man"s firm chest. As expected, a sense of security and sleepiness welled up.
"Then don"t move." Gong Yuning said with her eyes closed.
"Don"t move." He Lingchu promised.
Gong Yuning slept in the crook of his arm and fell asleep not long after. He Lingchu bent down slightly, and looked at the girl who really did fall asleep in his arms. He was a little speechless.
However, at this moment, he had completely suppressed and sealed off all his thoughts. Even though his feelings for her were no longer pure, he would absolutely not allow himself to do anything to her.
Maybe he was tired, maybe because of the soft jade in his arms, He Lingchu also felt sleepy and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, the man and woman on the bed had changed positions. However, each time they slept, they would cuddle and hug each other. It was as if they were already used to touching each other, allowing them to sleep even deeper.
Early morning.
The first scene that Gong Yuning saw when she opened her eyes was her neatly placed curtains. The sunlight that shone in made the room extremely bright.
