This time was different. He could clearly sense that a girl of almost the same age was sleeping next to him, and that she might even be staring at him.
Fortunately, she didn't get too close.
"Wenmo".
"What's wrong?"
"Can I sleep with my arms around you?"
"……no."
"oh."
The scent of shower gel after the shower gradually reached Wenmo's nose. Since there was no room for a second blanket on the bed, the two of them slept under the same blanket, and they could even feel that the temperature was much higher.
After a few minutes, the girl next to me stopped talking and seemed to have fallen asleep.

He mocked himself in a self-destructive manner.
Then he held Xia Lian's bare little hand tightly.
The girl seemed to feel the warmth of the hand, and her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, returning to her usual expressionless face.
