Ye Chen completely ignored what Zhang Ma was thinking.
After he finished explaining, he gently closed the door.
He walked quietly to the bedside without making a sound.
Like him, Shi Nian stayed up all night at the mourning hall for three days.
She was fast asleep at that moment.
But he didn't sleep very well.
Her small, pale face, no bigger than the palm of her hand, looked delicate and pitiful.
Even while sleeping, his brows remained furrowed.
"Nian Nian..."
Ye Chen sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with heartache.
He originally wanted to ask her about her delirium back then.
I asked her why she was so averse to the Nanshan Villa.
When asked if her inexplicable hatred for him was related to her delirium that time, he asked her if it was related to that incident.
This dream made him feel that it wasn't just a dream.
The sense of realism was too strong.
It was so intense that it remained vivid in his memory even more than what actually happened in real life!
But looking at Shi Nian's sleeping face, he couldn't bear to disturb her.
Therefore, he ultimately had to give up asking.
I plan to ask her again tomorrow after she wakes up.
He quietly lifted the covers and lay down next to Shi Nian.
"grandfather……"
The girl beside him made a low sound.
Ye Chen's body stiffened.
My heart skipped a beat after I heard clearly what she said.
"Grandpa...don't go...it's no use, I couldn't save you in the end..."
The girl's soft voice was tinged with sobs and sorrow.
Ye Chen's heart clenched as he listened.
He held Shi Nian tightly and whispered, "Niannian, it's not your fault. You've done very well. Grandpa won't blame you. As long as you live well, he can rest in peace in the afterlife."
"From now on, I will protect you and cherish you in place of the old man, giving you double the love he could no longer give you."
"So, you should pull yourself together; that's the best way to repay the old man."
Shi Nian is not only a responsibility left by the old man, but also the woman he vowed to protect.
So even though he was heartbroken at losing his father, he still hoped that Shi Nian could recover soon.
Perhaps it was Ye Chen's hug and comfort that had the effect.
Shi Nian gradually stopped talking in his sleep.
Her furrowed brows were gently smoothed out by Ye Chen's patient touch.
Hearing the girl's breathing gradually become steady, Ye Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He held Shi Nian in his arms, closed his eyes, and gradually drifted off to sleep.
…
Perhaps because they had just experienced something sad, both of them had a lot on their minds.
So, the two of them woke up very early the next morning.
When Shi Nian woke up, she found Ye Chen lying next to her. Her expression turned grim. "What are you doing here?"
Seeing that Shi Nian's complexion was still not very good, Ye Chen said in a low, hoarse voice with concern, "It's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"No need, you can leave my room now. I want to be alone for a while." Shi Nian lowered her eyelids and directly dismissed her.
For the past few days, Ye Chen has had people following her.
Wherever she goes.
Even when she goes to the toilet, someone goes with her.
Moreover, she had to be called every half minute to make sure she was still alive.
If she doesn't answer, they'll start trying to break into the toilet.
She knew Ye Chen was worried that she might do something rash.
But she did not accept what he considered to be good intentions.
So, seeing him now, and thinking about the days she'd been living under surveillance, made her very unhappy, and she felt no remorse towards him.
