The words that Song Xiwei was about to say remained unspoken.

"..."

Song Xiwei did not directly refuse, giving Aoqian great hope. "Really, I can't sleep well when I sleep alone every day. I have nightmares. These past few days with you here, I've slept exceptionally well. That's why I can handle government affairs so well during the day. You have no idea how much your presence has affected me!"

Aoqian's words were the absolute truth, not an exaggeration.

Indeed, being able to fall asleep face-to-face with Song Xiwei at night greatly satisfied Aoqian's heart.

Only when you get enough rest can you look radiant and be full of energy every day, with inexhaustible energy to deal with anything.

But the thought of Song Xiwei going back to her own room, the thought of him being all alone in that bed during the long night…

This was even more agonizing than when Aoqian was alone before.

Because the pillow has long been accustomed to the temperature of another person and the scent of her so close at hand.

In just a few days, Aoqian had already become deeply involved.

Making him quit abruptly would be tantamount to causing serious injury, or even more severe.

"But you managed all by yourself before, didn't you?" Song Xiwei almost gave in.

But she felt inexplicably guilty.

It was for her own...

Let yourself continue in this habit.

How can I easily get out of this situation in the future?

"So when I slept alone before, I was easily irritable and couldn't help but provoke you, argue with you, and it affected other things," Aoqian said resentfully.

These statements are not untrue.

The reason why he and Song Xiwei kept arguing was largely because Song Xiwei was right under his nose, but he always felt that she was far away from him.

He wanted to be with her every single moment of the day, but he was forced to separate from her.

This feeling would overwhelm Aoqian, making him increasingly irritable.

Until recently, Aoqian could spend the whole day with Song Xiwei, which brought him great joy.

These weren't exactly lies to Song Xiwei; they were just the truth.

Song Xiwei looked troubled. "So I'm that useful."

"Of course!" Ao Qian proudly raised his chin.

"Without you, Song Xiwei, the Demon Clan would not be thriving today."

Song Xiwei gave up and said, "That's it."

We'll think about the future later.

She cannot disrupt the situation that has recently improved.

"Alright then, I won't move back for now."

Aoqian was visibly happy. "Mmm!"

Song Xi glanced at Ao Qian, who remained stiff and did not lie down.

"Aren't you sleepy?" The two had so much conversation because Song Xiwei suddenly woke up.

Otherwise, according to previous records, the two of them would have already fallen asleep.

Aoqian shook his head, "I always wait until you're asleep."

"Why?" Song Xi asked, puzzled.

Aoqian almost blurted out that he could only sleep soundly when he saw her sleeping face.

"Lie down. I can't sleep if you keep watching me like this." Song Xiwei didn't know what had happened before.

But today, she felt that Aoqian was acting strangely.

It gave her the illusion that she was the prey.

Aoqian, fearing that Song Xiwei might become suspicious, obediently complied.

They lay down properly, as if separated by a galaxy.

Song Xiwei lay more naturally, while Ao Qian, on the other hand, was leaning against the edge of the bed. If he turned over even slightly, it felt like he might fall off.

Song Xiwei felt inexplicably uncomfortable. "You asked me to stay, but you're so far away from me. I really suspect you were just teasing me. The way you look, you don't look like you need someone to accompany you to sleep at all!"

Aoqian hurriedly shook his head.

How could he be honest with Song Xiwei? He was afraid that if he got too close, he would give himself away. After all, in the past few days, he had only dared to stare at Song Xiwei after she had fallen asleep.
