  The air in the room was a little hot, and strange light and shadow intertwined between light and dark appeared in Chu Xiyu's hazy vision. He tried to break free from the invisible constraints of this chaos.

  But no matter what he tried, he couldn't break free.

  ...

  He opened his eyes, and the bright light from the ceiling came into view. The room was no longer dark and silent.

  Qin Ji stood beside him, and a tall black shadow loomed in front of his eyes. After Chu Xiyu saw his face, she felt less nervous in an instant.

  "Ayu, are you having another nightmare?" Qin Ji raised his hand to cover his forehead, stayed there for a few seconds, and then quickly took it back.

  Chu Xiyu sat up, with a little sweat on the tip of her nose, and a look of panic in her eyes, "Yeah."

  "Don't be afraid." Qin Ji said with gentle eyes and a slight frown, "I'll sleep with you, so that you can sleep a little more peacefully."

  "Okay." Chu Xiyu nodded hurriedly.

  This time he refused without restraint. He moved to the right, leaving half of the space for Qin Ji.

  It was still very late at night, and the carved windows were ajar. He had forgotten to close them tightly before going to bed. Occasionally, a gentle breeze would blow through the curtains, making shadows float around. He changed into another set of pajamas, and slippery essential oil slowly dripped out.

  Chu Xiyu was a little nervous, her ears were red and she was hunched over, worried that Qin Ji would notice something strange about him.

  Qin Ji lay down beside him and covered him with the quilt thoughtfully, "Sleep peacefully."

  Chu Xiyu said "hmm" and closed her eyes against the back of her hand.

  Qin Ji turned off the light, and the room was once again occupied by darkness.

  Chu Xiyu squeezed the quilt tightly. He was a little afraid of the dark, and Qin Ji's presence made him sleep uneasily.

  Just when he was about to turn his back, Qin Ji stretched out a hand and put it on his slender back, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

  In the darkness, Qin Ji's voice was low. His voice was very charming, low and gentle.

  He slowly patted Chu Xiyu's back with his big palm, gently, as if coaxing him to sleep like a child.

  Qin Ji's comfort made him feel a great sense of security. He seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat at this moment, leaning against his side with his eyes lowered.

  They were very close, and in this posture, Chu Xiyu seemed to be completely trapped in his arms.

  Chu Xiyu's heart beat faster, and her palms became hot.

  He closed his eyes obediently under Qin Ji's comfort, and Qin Ji's gentle voice echoed in his ears.

  "Ayu, don't be afraid."

  ...

  The next day, Chu Xiyu woke up and found herself held tightly in Qin Ji's arms.

  Qin Ji's muscles are strong, his nightgown is open, and he looks natural even when he sleeps with his eyes closed.

  Chu Xiyu wondered how there could be such a perfect person.

  He was held tightly by Qin Ji's hands, very tightly. This posture was very possessive. Qin Ji completely took over, which made Chu Xiyu feel a little uncomfortable.
