"Mama..." Huangfu Yincan kept mumbling in her sleep, her forehead sweating.
In the darkness, Gu Jinbei abruptly woke up, his sharp eyes adjusting to the darkness before he turned to look at the person curled up, having a nightmare.
He frowned slightly. What was she calling out? Ma? It was too unclear...
After a long time, he understood she was calling for her mother. Could it be she missed her mother? But hadn't her mother been dead for years?
It's only natural for her to miss home since she left her familiar surroundings to come to this distant and unfamiliar place. A secluded lady like her probably never ventured far from home.
Thinking this way, his originally sharp gaze softened with a touch of warmth even he wasn't aware of.
