Fourth Master nodded, then headed further inside.
Ye Zao slept soundly, and after watching her for a while, Fourth Master also lay down.
Seeing her in such a state today, any other thoughts Fourth Master might have had also came to rest.
Holding her tightly, he closed his eyes with care.
In the middle of the night, Ye Zao did have a nightmare as expected, but Fourth Master was there, fuzzily hugging her and patting her back, "Don't be afraid, once you wake up, you won't be scared anymore."
Ye Zao struggled for a while, but in the end, she didn't wake up, and neither did she have any more dreams.
She just let out a long breath, then uncurled her body and leaned into Fourth Master's embrace, sleeping deeply.
Strangely enough, after that day, Ye Zao stopped having nightmares.
During the day, her appetite gradually improved too. And just like that, she got better.
Fourth Master was certainly happy, believing he had suppressed the fear in Ye Zao.
