Qiao Yuxian rested her head on his arm, keeping both hands quietly on her chest without moving. She said, "I just can't sleep, wanting to be closer to someone makes my heart settle, and I fall asleep quicker. I mean no harm."
Gu Yanjing gently patted her arm without speaking.
He closed his eyes, and in the darkness, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
Not hearing him speak, Qiao Yuxian lifted her head to look at him and asked again, "You understand what I mean, right?"
"Yes, I understand. Not to move around." Gu Yanjing's voice was as gentle as a breeze passing over a snowy mountain.
Qiao Yuxian chuckled softly and settled in comfortably.
"Sleep now." Gu Yanjing said.
"Mm."
Gu Yanjing's hand lightly patted her arm; in his embrace, Qiao Yuxian felt at ease and soon fell asleep.
Listening to her steady breathing, Gu Yanjing opened his eyes and turned to look at her.
Admiring her peaceful sleeping face.
