After Luo Xiyun finished taking a shower, he saw Chen Xu had already made a bed and slept on it. He said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet. Why don't you go to bed and sleep?"
Chen Xu raised his head and smiled, "It's okay, it's the same wherever you are."
[He was probably afraid that I wouldn't be used to it.]
This thought came to Luo Xiyun's mind. He walked to the bed, got into bed, and turned off the light. The room fell into darkness.
Lying in bed, she recalled every detail of her time with Chen Xu over the past few months. After her impression of him changed, she looked back at his various behaviors and discovered many things that she had overlooked before.
【In fact, he is a very considerate person. 】
As she thought about it, waves of emotion began to arise in her heart.
His thoughtfulness is restrained, hidden behind the social mask that keeps him at a distance from others.
During their interactions, he never invaded her psychological safety distance, and everything he said and did left her plenty of space.
Before, she just thought Chen Xu was very sensible. Now, she realized that behind such sensibility, there was also a kind of consideration.
Changing your perspective allows you to see another side of a person.
It was at this moment that she realized she had never understood the man lying a few meters away.
"Xiyun."
In the darkness, Chen Xu suddenly called her in a low voice. This was the first time she heard him call her name, and she felt a little strange in her heart. When she answered, her voice was a little tense, "What's wrong?"
"I'm a little cold." In the darkness, the man's voice trembled a little.
"Ah? What should I do then?"
She was a little anxious, so she turned her body to the side and reached out to turn on the light. She felt the quilt behind her was lifted up, and a body crawled into the quilt and lay right next to her.
Her body stiffened, "You, what are you doing?"
"Let's sleep together. It'll be warmer this way." The man's voice sounded behind him.
[He said he was very cold, probably because he was frozen in the snow. If he was ignored, his condition would get worse.]
[He just wants to be warm. I think it's okay.]
The words of refusal came to her lips, but she swallowed them back. She just lay on her side with her back to Chen Xu.
She felt her heart beating very fast. Even with her back to him, she could clearly feel that the man behind her was very close, almost touching her.
After a while, the man spoke again, "Let's sleep closer together, or the heat will escape."
[No, this can't be done.]
[But he was just sick and felt cold, so he wanted to stay close to each other for warmth.]
After this hesitation, nothing was done.
"Why is your body so hot? Do you have a fever?"
Suddenly, Chen Xu's voice sounded behind him.
"No..." She was about to speak when a big hand reached out to her forehead and touched her face again.
"It's a little hot, let me take a look."
With a click, a lamp on the bedside lit up. The orange light was soft and not dazzling at all.
"I'm fine..." She stretched out her hand to push Chen Xu's hand away, but instead of pushing, the hands increased their strength.
