However, Nan Zhiyun was still flattered by Yu Jingchen's actions.
"You're not allowed to be scared anymore, or I'll just throw you out," Yu Jingchen said.
Nan Zhiyun: "..."
She never expected, nor dared to imagine, that Yu Jingchen would do such a thing.
Nan Zhiyun's fear gradually subsided, but... she was still nervous, after all, Yu Jingchen's hand was on her body, so she didn't dare to move.
Nan Zhiyun remained in that position until Yu Jingchen fell asleep, at which point she felt her body stiffen.
Nan Zhiyun moved her body slightly, and her tense mood relaxed. Perhaps because she was too tired today, Nan Zhiyun slowly fell asleep.
After hearing Nan Zhiyun's steady breathing, Yu Jingchen opened his eyes and glanced at the sleeping person, but could only see a silhouette.
"Foolish," Yu Jingchen uttered softly, his tone carrying a hint of... speechlessness.
Then Yu Jingchen stopped paying attention to Nan Zhiyun's matter and went to sleep. However, he still didn't pull his hand back.
In the middle of the night, Yu Jingchen was woken up by Nan Zhiyun. Nan Zhiyun had been sleeping very restlessly, and even when she did fall asleep, she often had nightmares. Especially lately, Nan Zhiyun hadn't been able to sleep peacefully at night.
For example, Nan Zhiyun is sweating on her forehead right now and keeps moving around, clearly frightened.
"Nan Zhiyun?" Yu Jingchen called her name. He frowned as he looked at the little girl on the bed, who was covered in cold sweat and sleeping very restlessly.
However, Nan Zhiyun did not react; instead, she began to mutter anxiously in her sleep.
"Nan Zhiyun?" Yu Jingchen called her name softly again, but only heard Nan Zhiyun say in a voice barely audible, "No, it hurts so much, let me go, I know I was wrong..."
Yu Jingchen was confused. What kind of nightmare was this? He tried to wake Nan Zhiyun, "Nan Zhiyun? Wake up!"
"Help, save me... Your Majesty... Please forgive me this time, okay?" Nan Zhiyun said anxiously. Only in her dreams did she dare to beg for mercy like this, dare to show such weakness. Or perhaps... she simply couldn't bear it anymore.
"Let me go, let me go, I beg you, please..." Nan Zhiyun grabbed Yu Jingchen's arm.
Yu Jingchen didn't know what dream she had, but he couldn't wake her up now.
"Alright, I won't punish you, don't be afraid." Yu Jingchen held Nan Zhiyun's hand.
"No..." Nan Zhiyun struggled. Those people were torturing her. The needles were really long, but they were holding her hands tightly. She couldn't move and couldn't break free no matter what she did.
Those slender silver needles pierced through his fingers...
Nan Zhiyun cried out in pain, as if her hand was being subjected to some great torment.
Yu Jingchen noticed something was wrong.
"Someone come here!" Yu Jingchen shouted outside.
People came in quickly.
"Light all the candles," Yu Jingchen ordered.
After the candles were lit, Yu Jingchen clearly saw that Nan Zhiyun's forehead was covered in a thick layer of cold sweat.
"No...it hurts..." Nan Zhiyun was still crying out.
Her hands were always open. Yu Jingchen looked at her hands and, having not noticed before, now upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were quite a few needle marks between Nan Zhiyun's fingers.
Yu Jingchen's expression immediately turned ugly.
