Two hours ago, Mu Qing had told her that Jing Yichen would most probably wake up on the following day, because he was quite badly wounded this time. Due to lack of water and food as well as the exhaustion, he had used up all his energy and the recovery could be slow.
Unexpectedly though, he woke up much earlier.
Shangguan Ning was so overjoyed that tears trickled down her cheeks even faster.
Jing Yichen wiped her tears and pampered her in his usual spoiling tone. "Baby, don't cry. I am fine. Don't be scared. Come and snuggle into my arms."
Trying not to touch his wounds, she laid down next to him on the blanket instead of getting close to him.
She truly wanted to hold him and lie in his arms. She had been frightened today and her heart was full of fear. But she suppressed those emotions at the bottom of her heart. She must not cry or behave weakly.
