The next day, the little boy Ye Yiyang woke up bright and early.
He had made a deal with Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei the previous night, asking them not to get up before him.
Upon opening his eyes, he glanced around and saw that he was still sleeping between Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei. He broke into a sweet smile and reached out with his small hands to hold both Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei's hands.
Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei had stayed up late last night and were still asleep.
Feeling the gentle grasp of the little boy Ye Yiyang's hand, they both woke up.
Ye Xingbei opened her eyes to see her son smiling gratefully, one hand clutching hers and the other clutching Gu Junzhu's.
Ye Xingbei was both thrilled and heartbroken. She stroked her son's head, "Are you this happy?"
"Hmm!" little Ye Yiyang answered, rubbing his face against Ye Xingbei's hand and softly saying, "Sleeping between mommy and daddy feels so wonderful!"
