He could only become a bit more selfish, a bit more ruthless, towards her.
Yuanya allowed him to hold her but remained silent, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would leap out of her chest.
After a while, she closed her eyes and grasped his larger hand tightly.
"You haven't rested properly these past couple of days, you should sleep for a bit," she said softly.
"Don't... don't leave.... "
However, Lan Xiu's voice gradually faded before his sentence could be finished, and he closed his eyes slowly.
It seemed, he had just fallen asleep.
Feeling the weight of him resting on her shoulder, Yuanya's hand, holding his, trembled slightly.
She didn't move right away, reluctantly maintaining this intimate pose as she gently caressed his handsome cheek.
After a while, she delicately maneuvered out of the embrace, laying him flat on the couch and covering him with a blanket.
"Xiu, I know better than anyone the tenacity of your determination."
