"You guessed right, little Xuan is really smart."
Emerald Sparrow smoothed the hair that hung from the side of her face, combing it back behind her: "But it's okay, if you want to, you can also sleep like this, holding on to me."
"I don't want to." Bai Jingxuan shook her half-exposed head from under the blanket.
"Are you sure you don't want to?" Emerald Sparrow looked straight at her.
"Uh huh, because I don't want to make mom uncomfortable." Bai Jingxuan answered honestly: "So, mom, you go to sleep first, so that I can sleep holding on to you."
"Then I'll go to sleep, okay?" Emerald Sparrow confirmed.
"Okay, good night Mom."
"Alright, good night."
Emerald Sparrow said this and then leaned in slightly, reaching out to gently rest her hand on Bai Jingxuan's shoulder.
"...Mom?"
"What is it?"
"That... your hand?" Bai Jingxuan asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Ah, is this not okay?"
Emerald Sparrow appeared a bit troubled: "Do I really need to embrace you tightly to sleep?"
