When Luo'er awoke again, he found himself lying in a sweat-drenched heap on the cabin bed. His breathing was rapid as his eyes widened, and just as he propped himself up, Tangmo and Baiyue, anxious for his safety, immediately pounced on him with cries of relief.
"I thought she had killed you," Cheng Ziang said calmly, arms crossed at the doorway, although the flicker in his eyes betrayed his unease.
"I..." Luo'er muttered, subconsciously checking his body and finally heaved a sigh of relief upon finding he was unharmed.
"What on earth happened to you?" Tangmo released him and asked, worry etching her face.
"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Luo'er's eyes began to flicker uncertainly whenever he thought about what had transpired in the dream, unwilling to meet Tangmo's gaze directly.
"You're definitely hiding something from us, come out with it," Tangmo implored intensely as she cradled his face in her hands.
"Really, it's nothing..." Luo'er said, his lips pursed with guilt.
