He held her for a long time before falling asleep.
Little Yichen, on the other hand, was no longer sleepy. When he pushed open the bedroom door, he was greeted by a cold silence.
He switched on the light, immediately setting the room aglow.
He walked to the side of the bed and sat on it. This bed belonged to him and Youyou.
Ever since they moved here, they had been sleeping on the same bed. He was the one who initiated this.
Initially, Youyou seemed rather repulsed by such a clingy brother, hence he made up an excuse to share the bed by saying that he was afraid of the dark.
He still remembered how, at the start, Youyou drew a straight line down the bed and said haughtily, "You're not allowed to cross the line! Do you understand? If you cross the line…"
"Got it!" He lay down on the bed and pointed at the line in exasperation, saying, "I'm not allowed to cross the line, right? I got it."
