Back then, she was just a little fox. She thought that beauty mark was something dirty, and she had an obsessive-compulsive disorder about always trying to clean it.
As I kept wiping, I realized that it was actually part of his body.
After that, I felt that the eyes with the beauty mark under their eyes were even more captivating.
Thinking about it now, I feel an indescribable pang of sorrow.
Huo Linfeng looked at his sister: "Go to the lounge next door and close the door."
Huo Wan was taken aback. She wondered why her brother would still spend time alone with Tang Yaoyao, even though he knew about her relationship with Xiao Jinhan.
But it was an awkward thing to talk about, so I could only nod.
Tang Yaoyao walked towards him: "Approximately how long will it take?"
Huo Linfeng replied, "It's been quite a while."
She didn't think much of it and just said, "Mm."
Afterwards, he led her to the sofa, had her sit down, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "It would be best to test if you have severe sleepwalking. Drink some water laced with sleeping pills and wait for your reaction. Can you accept that?"
Tang Yaoyao nodded. His voice was gentle, but his expression was serious, giving people the feeling that they were willing to believe him.
"Acceptable."
Then, Huo Linfeng brought her a glass of water and placed it in front of her: "The sleeping pills inside have a sleep-inducing effect and will not have any adverse effects on your body."
Tang Yaoyao reached out her hand to take the drink.
But before he could get close, he gripped the blanket tighter, not handing it to her, and his gaze turned very serious as he looked at her: "Aren't you worried that the medicine I put in here isn't a sleeping pill?"
Tang Yaoyao looked up at him, her gaze equally earnest: "You are a doctor and a teacher, I believe in you."
He chuckled softly: "Just because of my profession?"
Tang Yaoyao nodded.
She lied, but there were ties from her past life to her. She believed he was a good person and would never use his profession to do anything bad.
He released her hand and handed it to her: "You will take a nap, and I will wake you up at the appropriate time."
"good."
She picked up the water glass, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
Unlike on TV, he didn't fall asleep immediately after drinking; instead, he lay flat on the sofa, waiting to fall asleep.
Huo Linfeng was talking to her.
"Relax, don't think too much, and don't think about it. You are seriously ill, so get some rest."
Tang Yaoyao replied softly, "Mm."
As sleepiness crept in, she drowsily looked at him, and his handsome and deep face softened her heart. Touched by the tenderness in his eyes, her heart trembled slightly.
He called out his name: "Huo Linfeng..."
"Um?"
Tang Yaoyao said again, "Thank you."
She had always wanted to thank him in person, but back then, she was just a little fox who only knew how to bar her teeth and claws. Now, she was a living, breathing human being.
This thank you came more than a thousand years late.
Huo Linfeng frowned, seemingly not understanding, and felt a dull pain in his heart. Only those with whom one has no choice but to distance oneself say thank you.
His voice was deep, yet it couldn't hide the tenderness in his heart that he wanted to be good to her: "You're welcome."
She smiled again: "Huo Linfeng, you are a good person."
He is a very good person.
This time, he smiled, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, the light in his eyes like the clouds on the horizon, breathtakingly beautiful.
Behind the smile lay a bittersweet feeling that only he could understand.
