Yelu Yan gazed upon Li Xianyun's delicate, beautiful sleeping face, bending over to cradle her in his arms. Her three thousand strands of hair fell across his sturdy arms, making her look even more peacefully beautiful.
Li Xianyun was stirred by the movement, knitting her brows together while still keeping her eyes closed, she murmured softly, "My husband..."
Upon hearing this, Yelu Yan hummed in response, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepening. He turned his head and gently pressed it against hers, saying, "Go back to sleep, I'll stay with you."
"...Mmm."
Yelu Yan carried Li Xianyun towards the bed.
Arriving at the bed, Yelu Yan gently placed Li Xianyun down, took off his shoes, and lay beside her.
As soon as he lay down, Li Xianyun snuggled up to him, pressing close with her eyes shut. Her long lashes fluttered slightly as she spoke softly, "Hold me."
She was already so well-behaved, and even more so in her sleep.
