After covering herself with the blanket, Jiang Yiren blinked and looked at Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao immediately raised his arms and made a ferocious gesture.

"Close your eyes and go to sleep!"

It looked like a young father trying to coax his daughter who didn't want to go to sleep and scare her helplessly.

Seeing this, Jiang Yiren smiled silently, then slowly closed her eyes.

Zhao Hao then slowly walked to the table, sat down gently, dimmed the oil lamp, picked up the book on the table again, and continued reading.

After a while, the sound of Jiang Yiren's calm breathing could be heard.

Zhao Hao turned his head and saw Jiang Yiren's two little hands still grabbing the edge of the blanket, revealing her slender fingers, just like a little mouse. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Zhao Hao stood up and put the book back. Just as he was about to blow out the oil lamp and leave, he heard a light "hmm" from Jiang Yiren's nose. Then she turned her head away and leaned her body inside.

As he turned over, he also pushed the blanket down.

Zhao Hao tiptoed to the couch, reached out to pull the blanket, and wanted to cover her again.

But the blanket was pressed under Jiang Yiren's arms, so Zhao Hao had to move her arms first and let her lift them up.

However, just as his hand touched Jiang Yiren's arm.

Jiang Yiren's whole body trembled violently, and then a humming sound came from her nose.

Zhao Hao was startled and quickly moved closer to take a look. He saw that Jiang Yiren's brows were tightly furrowed, her cheeks were tight, and it seemed that she was biting her teeth hard.

When Zhao Hao saw this, he felt like he was having a nightmare, so he quickly patted Jiang Yiren's shoulders and called her softly.

"aunt!"

"aunt?"

After being called twice in succession, Jiang Yiren acted as if she heard nothing. Not only did she not wake up, but she seemed to be in a deeper nightmare.

Even bit his lips.

Zhao Hao frowned, and quickly patted her again, shouting, "Aunt, Aunt, wake up quickly..."

Seeing that Jiang Yiren hadn't woken up yet, he simply sat down beside the bed and put his arm directly under her neck.

He lifted him up from the bed with great effort, put his head on his shoulder, and then shook his head vigorously.

"Aunt, wake up."

Looking at Jiang Yiren who was so close to him, he still frowned and bit his lips hard.

Zhao Hao quickly reached out and patted his smooth face, then continued to call out a few more times.

Finally, Jiang Yiren opened her eyes, then hugged Zhao Hao's neck, turned over, and threw herself into Zhao Hao's arms.

Zhao Hao's brain went blank and he froze completely.

Then, he felt that Jiang Yiren's arms were around his neck with extreme force.

I can hardly breathe.

Swallowing hard, Zhao Hao quickly grabbed Jiang Yiren's arms, trying to make her let go.

"Aunt, what's wrong?"

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Hearing Zhao Hao's voice, Jiang Yiren's body suddenly stiffened.

Immediately, the strength in his arms slowly weakened, and finally relaxed completely.

He turned over and sat on the bed with his head down.

Zhao Hao had no idea what was going on, so he quickly moved forward, grabbed Jiang Yiren's shoulders, and made her face him.

"Aunt, what happened?"

Jiang Yiren seemed to have lost her soul and did not speak for a long time.

I don’t know how long it was before I took a deep breath and shook my head slightly at Zhao Hao.

"I'm sorry Hao'er, aunt just had a nightmare."

"Did it scare you?"

Zhao Hao quickly shook his head and asked, "Aunt, why did you suddenly have a nightmare?"

Jiang Yiren said weakly: "Nothing, it's been many years."

Zhao Hao was startled for a moment, then he asked softly, "Is it a terrible dream?"

Jiang Yiren nodded slightly, and then said: "Fortunately, after so many years, aunt has long been used to it."

As he said this, he let out a long breath, forced a smile, and looked at Zhao Hao.

"Okay, don't worry about your aunt. Hao'er, go back to sleep."

Seeing her still in shock but forcing herself to remain strong and pretend nothing had happened, Zhao Hao also took a deep breath.

Then he raised his arms and held her in his arms.

Jiang Yiren's whole body froze. She was startled and whispered, "Hao'er..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhao Hao said, "Aunt, will this make you feel less scared?"

After hearing this, Jiang Yiren stopped talking and didn't resist. She just let Zhao Hao hold her.

Her stiff body slowly softened and her breathing became steady.

I don’t know how much time passed before I fell asleep again.

This time there was no nightmare, and Zhao Hao held him for more than an hour.

Just when he felt his arms were sore and was about to put Jiang Yiren back on the bed.

But he found that Jiang Yiren's arms had been tightly wrapped around his waist without him knowing when.

Zhao Hao tried to take his arm off, but found that he couldn't do it at all.

There was no other way but to continue in this painful and happy posture and continue to hold Jiang Yiren in my arms.

After an unknown amount of time, his eyelids began to twitch.

At first, when sleepiness came over him, he could still hold on and not let himself fall asleep.

But later on, I couldn't hold on any longer, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn and Zhao Hao woke up from his sleep. He was shocked to find that Jiang Yiren was curled up in his arms like a kitten.

Then, the remaining sleepiness disappeared instantly.

His mind was racing, thinking back to what happened last night.

Looking again, he and Jiang Yiren's clothes were both intact.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Not bad, not bad.

Did not become a beast.

He looked down at Jiang Yiren in his arms, with fair skin, high nose bridge, and long eyelashes.

There was also a faint scent of incense and candles mixed with some unknown flowers and plants, which made him feel a little dazed.

However, he soon discovered something.

This aunt...

Seems to be awake.

Pretending to sleep!

Because he saw Jiang Yiren's eyelashes tremble.

He wanted to play a prank on her, so he continued to lie still.

However, on second thought, I decided to give it up. I have to save some face for my aunt.

He immediately got up from the couch, gently covered Jiang Yiren with a blanket, and walked out.

As soon as he left, Jiang Yiren secretly opened her eyes a little.

Seeing that Zhao Hao had really left, he dared to open his eyes wide, then slowly sat up and exhaled forcefully.

He raised his hand and touched his cheek, and immediately felt a burning sensation.

"Jiang Yiren, ah Jiang Yiren, how could you do such a thing."

"Fortunately, fortunately it's a gentleman like Hao'er, otherwise you would not be alive?"
