Si Ye fell silent for a moment, then scooped her up in his arms and laid her gently on the bed, pulling the quilt over her body.
"Sleep if you're tired,"
"I want to go back to sleep."
"Just sleep here today. If you keep fussing, I'll make sure you can't get up."
"Madman!" Chen Zhi's face turned red, but she stopped insisting on going back to sleep. She turned over, her back to him, and her eyes immediately filled with sorrow.
Si Ye would never let her go easily. She could become his woman again at any moment. If she ended up with An Yichen, she would inevitably hurt him by accident.
Yichen, we really can't be together anymore...
Being away from you hurts me too, but we've missed too much time, and can no longer return to the start...
Chen Zhi thought and thought, then gradually drifted into sleep.
Si Ye sat by the bed without leaving and, hearing her even breathing, he finally stood up to leave, gently closing the door behind him.
