Nan Feng laid next to him, leaning into his arms.
People who haven't slept for a while might initially struggle to fall asleep as their spirits tend to be in a state of high tension. To help him, Nan Feng gently massaged his temples.
Before long, she heard his soft snoring. He had fallen asleep.
Nan Feng gave him a tender kiss, covered him with a blanket, and nestled against him, soon she too drifted into dreamland.
...
............
When Nan Feng woke the next day, he was no longer by her side.
He must have gone back first due to his ongoing case.
It was a bit disappointing, but she understood.
After getting up, she went out to have breakfast with Xue Ling. Xue Ling teased her, "Your beau left so soon?"
"He has his duties and can't help it. But the fact that he could take time out of his busy schedule to check on me is already rare. Also, he said he'd come over later today, so there's no need to worry!"
Xue Ling responded dismissively, "You two really are inseparable."
