With this routine, Su Xinyi found that as soon as she moved in the evening, the person beside her would deftly press a few spots on her leg, and their tacit understanding seemed to grow stronger.
It was a rare night when Xin Yi wasn't sleepy and didn't want to disturb the Crown Prince by staying up, so she lay there alone, her mind filled with recent events. She felt as though she was overlooking something important but couldn't recall what it might be.
"Why haven't you gone to sleep yet?"
Suddenly, His Highness's voice came through, and Su Xinyi was startled before turning around. The dim light coming through the curtains faintly illuminated His Highness's brows and eyes. She spoke softly, "Did I disturb Your Highness?"
"No," Yan Junchu gently shook his head. He had just noticed that his consort's breathing was different from usual, "What are you thinking about? Tell me."
