Su Miaomiao didn't speak, her usually sparkling fox-like eyes now lacked any hint of fluctuation.
She seemed dazed and wooden, like a soulless doll.
She obediently and quietly lay on Xie Yuan's lap, seeking comfort from her master like a cat.
Her movements were very skilled, as if she had done this many times before.
Xie Yuan saw the signs and with his left hand holding Buddha beads, he gently lifted her chin.
Gently caressing, the Buddha beads slid across her delicate skin, leaving a trace of redness.
Her already beautiful and captivating face now held a touch of tortured frailty.
"What should I do with you, huh?"
If he wanted, he could completely relive the past, but he couldn't.
He sighed and pulled Su Miaomiao up to sit in his embrace.
Gently patting her back, he coaxed her in a warm voice.
"Xiao Guai, sleep now!"
Su Miaomiao indeed slept soundly that night and, for the first time in a long while, didn't wake up once.
