Shen Yin and Grandpa Lian coaxed the depressed Shen Nian to eat and kept him company until late in the night. Only then did they finally manage to coax the boy, who rarely revealed his fragile emotions, to sleep.
She looked at the time. Lian Jing was not back yet.
Recalling that Zhong Xin had told her to wait for him after work, Shen Yin forced herself to stay awake and lay down on the sofa downstairs, still fully dressed.
She did not have the guts to sleep in her room while waiting for him. For them to be alone, in the middle of the night, with her lying on the bed and waiting for him to come back was too flirtatious a scene. It would seem like a desperate invitation from her.
Shen Yin fell asleep.
After some time, the person who was sleeping on the sofa suddenly frowned. Her hands gripped the pillow beside her uneasily, and her red lips visibly lost their color. She was trembling and muttering something.
"Shen Yin, wake up."
