It seems that I am no longer troubled by nightmares.
He said that the lantern she gave him made him feel at ease, which is why he slept so soundly.
Although Gu Jiangli didn't know if what he said was true or false, she felt much more at ease seeing that he could sleep well.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, Gu Jiangli woke up.
There was no one by the bed, and the blankets had grown cold.
