His gaze rested heavily on her sleeping face, and he felt an urge to pull her into his embrace, but suddenly he remembered how, two days earlier, he had come home early in the morning to see her, and she had been calling Jun Nian's name in her sleep.
Nan Sichen laughed at himself in self-mockery, perhaps it was only he who kept her in his thoughts while she seemed to be living so well, having dinner, then going to bed. What a good life it was, as long as she thought of Jun Nian, that was enough.
Thinking of this made him suddenly angry; he had lost the patience he had two days before and reached out to yank the quilt off Qin Yin.
Startled awake, Qin Yin bleary-eyed opened her eyes and saw Nan Sichen standing beside the bed. She sat up in excitement and called out, "Nan Sichen, you're back."
"Yes, I'm back. Are you disappointed?" Nan Sichen said, his lips curled in an ironic and cruel smile.
