Nan Zhiyun hadn't held out much hope for Yu Jingchen's script for giving her, thinking it was just for show. But to her surprise, Yu Jingchen actually did it, and he did it quite well and very interestingly.

Nan Zhiyun gradually became engrossed in listening. Yu Jingchen half-embraced her. He must have done this kind of storytelling countless times in his past life. Some of the stories were imprinted in his mind.

Actually, it's already quite late today. Yu Jingchen has been busy the whole time, without stopping for a moment. He's been telling Nan Zhiyun stories for more than half an hour now, and he's getting a little tired.

But his story was interesting, and Nan Zhiyun had slept all day, so she was full of energy and had no intention of sleeping at all.

"It's late, huh?" Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun, who couldn't stand being tired right now.

"..." Nan Zhiyun had no intention of sleeping right now. The story was at its most exciting part, and she couldn't fall asleep anyway.

"Go to sleep now, I'll continue telling you the story tomorrow, okay?" Yu Jingchen coaxed her, asking, "What's the point of telling the whole story at once? I'll tell you the most exciting parts, so you'll be looking forward to it and won't think about leaving every day."

Nan Zhiyun dared not refuse, and could only slowly lie down following Yu Jingchen's movements. Yu Jingchen avoided Nan Zhiyun's wound and pulled her into his arms.

"Were you frightened today?" Yu Jingchen asked her.

“Hmm…” Nan Zhiyun did not hide anything.

“Next time you encounter this situation, have someone come to me immediately. If you can’t solve a problem, just leave it to me, okay?” Yu Jingchen told her.

"I wouldn't dare..." Nan Zhiyun replied.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's been so many days already, haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Yu Jingchen asked her.

"Yun'er, don't be afraid. You can try to trust me, okay?" Yu Jingchen knew that he couldn't lower Nan Zhiyun's guard for the time being, but he still hoped that the girl wouldn't be so afraid of him and could find him as soon as she encountered trouble.

Nan Zhiyun didn't answer. Yu Jingchen sighed softly; this was a long and arduous task. In a little while, Nan Su would return, and according to his memories from his previous life, Yu Jing'an would also be returning…

He pulled the little girl into his arms, letting her stay close to him; what happened in his past life must not be repeated this time.

Nan Zhiyun was held tightly by Yu Jingchen, but she didn't dare to resist. She hadn't fallen asleep, perhaps because she felt uncomfortable. However... she lowered her eyes slightly. Lately, when she was with Yu Jingchen, she always felt that there were many strange things.

Originally, she only felt that Yu Jingchen's attitude towards her had changed, but now she realized that Yu Jingchen was a completely different person. It was as if she had just heard a story before, and she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that she had heard this story before. However, she couldn't remember when she had heard it.

Before she could figure these things out, Nan Zhiyun felt sleepy and slowly drifted off to sleep. Lately, her sleepiness had been coming on inexplicably; sometimes she wasn't sleepy at all, but she could fall asleep lying down.

Yu Jingchen looked at the girl in his arms. The dim candlelight made the girl's face look much softer. She was no longer wary or defensive, and was very relaxed.

After their relationship improved in their past life, Nan Zhiyun liked to snuggle in his arms, saying it was very comfortable. Every night, she would pester him to tell her stories, but he could never finish them because Nan Zhiyun went to bed early and would fall asleep while listening.

Even after falling asleep, she would hold onto him with her hand, as if afraid he would leave. Every time she did this little thing, his heart would melt completely.

The little girl's sleeping posture is really bad. At first, she can sleep quite properly, but after she falls into a deep sleep at night, her movements... are really hard to describe. She lies sprawled out, and sometimes she just "disappears" while sleeping.

I used to get scared when I found out she was "missing" at night. Later, I discovered that this little girl would either curl up into a small ball and go to my feet, or she would hide herself under the covers...

She's really a handful, and after their relationship improved, some things just... became more complicated. Many of Nan Zhiyun's actions easily elicited a reaction, and he could only endure it every night. When he couldn't hold back anymore, he'd take a cold bath, after all, he couldn't scare the young girl.

Sometimes, even in the dead of winter, when it's very cold and I'm worried I'll catch a cold, the little girl will blame me for not taking care of myself. Even more audacious, she not only "blames" me but also seems to despise me, saying I'll pass on my illness and she should stay away from me…

Well... how should I put it? In short, in her past life, Nan Zhiyun was truly lawless and reckless. I had to clean up a huge mess for her. The little girl was quick to admit her mistakes, but sometimes she would stubbornly deny it, which was incredibly cute.

Looking at Nan Zhiyun like this now, Yu Jingchen really felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know what he should do to make Nan Zhiyun go back to the way she used to be. Although she was indeed a bit eccentric at times, people were more likable that way, and... he was willing to spoil Nan Zhiyun like that.

In his heart, he would rather Nan Zhiyun do whatever she wanted all day long than see her like this, timid and fearful, always afraid of making a mistake.

Yu Jingchen reached out and gently stroked Nan Zhiyun's hair. It was soft and fluffy. Why hadn't he realized this sooner? Every time he thought about what he had done in the past, he felt a dull pain in his heart, which was heartbreaking, especially when he saw the injuries on her body and her current worried look.
