That night, Shen Chi held Xu Chaomu in his arms as they fell asleep.
Worried she might not sleep well, he made her a cup of calming tea.
This tea, he had brewed it once when Xu Chaomu first arrived at the Shen Family. Of course, it was only for her that he had brewed it.
Latterly, once Xu Chaomu stopped having nightmares and no longer woke up frightened at night, he ceased brewing the tea for her.
In the evening, holding the steaming cup of tea and taking in its familiar scent, her nose tingled, and hot tears promptly began swirling in her eyes.
Maybe it was exhaustion from crying, but shortly after he had embraced her, she drifted off into dreamland.
Gradually, he too fell asleep.
His arm was wrapped around her the entire time. Initially, they slept head to head, but later on, Xu Chaomu rested her head on his arm.
Perhaps it was comfortable resting on his arm, because that night, she used his arm as a pillow throughout.
