Nan Sichen lay still for a moment, easing the pain in his back, before he turned over and pulled her into his arms, saying, "It's okay, go to sleep."
Qin Yin didn't say anything more and found a comfortable position in his embrace, then fell asleep.
Perhaps because she hadn't slept so well in a long time, she slept until ten o'clock. When she awoke, Nan Sichen was no longer there. She got up, washed up, and then went downstairs. Sister Ning had already prepared breakfast for her and set it on the dining table before leaving.
Qin Yin looked up to ask a servant what time Nan Sichen had left, but when she raised her head, she saw a little girl she didn't recognize standing beside her. The little girl was also looking at her with wide eyes.
Qin Yin swallowed back the question she was about to ask and continued with her breakfast, but the little girl kept staring at her for a long time.
