Qi Yang's embrace was so comforting, Ling'er couldn't help but close her eyes.

Ling'er felt like she had become a small boat, drifting on the vast sea for a long time, and finally found a harbor where she could dock. From then on, she had someone to rely on and was no longer alone.

Qi Yang was relieved when he realized that Ling'er was sleeping deeply in his arms. His mood was extremely complicated. He was looking forward to getting closer to Ling'er, but he was also afraid of being trapped in it and unable to extricate himself. Maybe he could no longer extricate himself.

He had nothing and could give Ling'er nothing, but Ling'er gave everything for him without any regrets. He deserved it and should have refused, but he couldn't resist Ling'er's tenderness.

However, seeing the corners of Ling'er's mouth still raised in his sleep, Qi Yang felt less guilty.

Qi Yang felt waves of warmth coming from the place where the two people came into contact, and then spread throughout his body, and finally he was trapped in the quilt, lingering.

So warm! Qi Yang couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been this warm. Even on a sultry summer day, wrapped in a thick quilt, he felt cold all over his body.

Qi Yang greedily absorbed the warmth. Perhaps because of this warmth, his wounds that should have been painful did not hurt so much.

After having a beautiful dream, Ling'er slowly opened her eyes. The surrounding light was still dim, and she nestled affectionately in Brother Yang's arms.

It turned out that the scene in the dream was not her imagination. She and Brother Yang really slept in each other's arms!

Ling'er was surprised and happy, and then found that her right leg was restlessly resting on Brother Yang's leg!

Ling'er was greatly embarrassed. She usually slept peacefully, so why did she do such an "outrageous" thing after finally getting close to Brother Yang? Her image in Brother Yang's eyes was completely ruined!

Ling'er really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, but she didn't dare to move at this time. What should she do?

Unable to think of a countermeasure, Ling'er had no choice but to bite the bullet and quietly move her legs back from Brother Yang. She wanted to pretend not to wake up, but she couldn't help but secretly raise her head and glance at Brother Yang.

This look was terrible! He happened to meet Qi Yang's smiling eyes.

Ling'er was shocked, and her face turned red with embarrassment. She didn't expect that Brother Yang was still awake. I wonder if he was watching every move he made?

"You...have you been awake all this time?" Ling'er asked softly.

"No." Qi Yang replied with a smile.

Ling'er couldn't help but stick out her tongue. But she thought of something immediately, and regardless of her embarrassment, she asked again: "What time is it now?"

"It's past the third watch, right?" Qi Yang replied.

"The properties of the 'quick-acting golden medicine' have long since expired." Ling'er thought to himself, but said in his mouth: "It turns out that I slept for so long. No wonder I'm not sleepy at all. Brother Yang, you should also take a rest!"

"It's not bright yet, girl, it's better to sleep a little longer!" Qi Yang advised. He knew that Ling'er had been very tired taking care of him these days.

"No! We agreed before that we should take turns to rest. Now it's your turn!" Seeing that Qi Yang was about to refuse again, Ling'er continued, "Brother Yang must abide by the agreement!"

Agreement? Since there is an agreement, Qi Yang can't refuse anymore and responds: "Okay then!"

"However, before going to bed, you should eat something first, don't be hungry!" Ling'er said, then exited Qi Yang's arms and left the bed.

Qi Yang felt that the warmth in the quilt suddenly receded. Although Ling'er tucked the quilt for him in time when he left, the remaining warmth in the quilt still could not withstand the chill coming from his body.

Qi Yang felt depressed in his heart. After all, the warmth he had before was not something he could covet.
