Li Meilin had never felt closer to her master like the way she felt with him yesterday night. Unfortunately for her, the storm did not cease to make her life miserable until the clock struck three in the morning. It meant that Meilin had held onto her master's arms like an idiot for more than the given time he had given her.
Surprisingly, Lim Xian really did not react to that not until she finally felt better. It was only then when both of them realized about it and immediately bid each other a quick and awkward good night before they each went to their designated sleeping places.
That scene may have been perfect should Lim Xian be willing to switch places with Li Meilin to show his concern for her. But Xian is still Xian no matter what happens, and thus that night ended as if the hugging part did not happen at all.
