The few hours before daylight were equally tormenting for Ji Nuan.
The two had fallen asleep on the sofa. With Mo Jingshen holding Ji Nuan in his embrace, she had slept very steadily. However, she could vaguely sense the abnormal heat of his body the whole time.
By the time it was between 4:00 to 5:00 a.m., the marble colors of dawn had begun to spread across the sky. Ji Nuan had slept through the whole night, and when she woke up, she opened her eyes to a pitch-black room. At the same time, she sensed Mo Jingshen had finally fallen asleep.
Although his body temperature remained warmer than it usually was, it was not as alarming as it had been last night. It was likely that he had endured through the worst of it and had finally fallen asleep from fatigue.
Ji Nuan leaned in his embrace, motionless. As she listened to his heartbeat, she slowly moved her hand up to hold his neck, closing her eyes.
