Until he was close enough to reach out and touch her, he stopped and carefully observed her current state.
Her body was curled up in the bed like a shrimp, like a cat, with both hands clutching the blanket in her sleep, like a small animal unwilling to move even half a step away from the warmth of the bed. The bed for companions was narrow, and the edge of the blanket had slipped off the bed, letting in a bit of cold air.
He judged that she was cold and was going to freeze. Cao Yong immediately bent down to tuck her in. His hands tucked the edges of the blanket up to her neck and saw that there was a bluish tint under her eyes; her fatigue was very evident. Her breathing was long, a sign that she was sleeping deeply. It also showed that she was so tired today that her brain had completely shut down into a dormant state, so much so that being this close, she didn't notice a thing.
Seeing her in such a state made one's heart ache.
