Gu Jinglian saw that her eyelids were so heavy she could hardly keep them open, yet she struggled to stay awake. "If you're tired, go to sleep. I'll accompany you."
Chu He was happy when she heard that. "You're not going anywhere?"
"Of course."
Chu He refused to sleep, fearing that it would be dark and he wouldn't be there when she opened her eyes again. She would be alone and it would feel awful. Gu Jinglian knew she felt uneasy, so he took the initiative to tell her that he would be staying put.
He hadn't expected her to feel insecure. However, he could not be bothered to tease her now, he only felt heartache for her.
Chu He closed her eyes in relief with that reassurance.
She was in too much agony. On top of that, the drug was slowly wearing off, and the pain was taking its toll.
