"I was fine to begin with." After being held by him for a while, Si Jin finally calmed down and her breathing gradually became steady. She stubbornly said, "It was just a nightmare. I was going to sleep anyway if you hadn't come."
These words were both pitiful and somewhat irritating.
Sheng Linyuan pinched his waist, his voice becoming sterner: "Why are you being so polite with me? Looking for a lesson?"
"Then... you won't be polite." After saying that, Si Jin let out a soft breath and hugged the person in front of her tightly, unwilling to let go.
It really is his little A-Yuan; I can finally rest easy.
"Then you'll stay here with me tonight." The proud cat's eyes were a little red, and she arrogantly gave the order: "If you dare to take a single step, I'll break your legs."
"Yes, young master." Sheng Linyuan added two more candles, making the room brighter.
She then instructed the servants to brew some calming medicine, add three spoonfuls of honey, and bring it to Si Jin.
Jinjin's lips were completely bloodless; she must have been terrified. Her wounds hadn't healed yet, so how could she recover without some calming and soothing medicine?
After much coaxing and persuasion, Si Jin refused to drink the medicine after a few sips.
Sheng Linyuan frowned slightly, then simply fed the medicine to him lip-to-lip.
The tall man pinned the boy, who was about the same height as him, against the edge of the bed, his hands holding the boy's waist as he kissed him wantonly.
The magnified silhouette was projected onto the window by candlelight, and was unexpectedly clear.
Mo Qi squatted outside the door, watching Sheng Linyuan do whatever he wanted in the silhouette, her eyes growing increasingly resentful.
Squatting outdoors, he drew circles on the ground with his sword: "These past few days, I've been treating this place like home. Oh, my poor young master was just tricked away by that lecherous devil."
Just as I was complaining, someone suddenly patted me on the shoulder.
Mo Qi turned around warily, and in the blink of an eye, the sword was already three inches out of its sheath, accurately pressed against Sheng Yu's neck.
Seeing that it was someone he knew, he put it down and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Sheng Yu thought about the task Sheng Linyuan had given him and asked, "How long has it been since you last went to Manjianglou?"
Mo Qi: ?
"It's been more than half a month, but that's because my young master keeps getting into trouble, so I... No, why am I explaining this to you? Go away, I still have to stay on night duty."
Sheng Yu cut to the chase: "Young Master Yue asked me to deliver a message, saying that you should protect him, otherwise, he will be bought by another wealthy businessman."
Mo Qi: !!!
He quickly found two guards to continue guarding against the assassins not far away, realizing that he had been tricked by Sheng Yu.
Only after the footsteps outside had faded into the distance did Sheng Linyuan close the bed curtains and pull Si Jin into his arms.
I tried my best to protect him and gently persuaded him, "Go to sleep, it's not midnight yet, I'm here."
"Mm." Si Jin nodded, her tense nerves gradually relaxing, and she closed her eyes again.
A moment later, he shuddered, then suddenly opened his eyes: "A-Yuan!!!"
The next moment, Sheng Linyuan tightly grasped her hand.
Their fingers were intertwined, exuding a strong sense of security: "I'm here, A-Yuan is here, Jinjin isn't afraid anymore, everything will be alright."
Seemingly sensing the unease in the person in his arms, Sheng Linyuan added, "I will love you forever. Hold my hand and sleep, okay?"
Si Jin closed her eyes again, unconsciously lowering her head slightly to rest against the other's chest, listening to Sheng Linyuan's strong heartbeat, before finally falling asleep peacefully again.
This time, however, I didn't have any nightmares.
Inside the palace, the Heavenly Emperor was extremely anxious. No matter how much divine power he used, he could not disturb Si Jin's dream.
Absurd! Utterly absurd!
He cursed inwardly: This is simply impossible!
Even though Sheng Linyuan has become a mortal and lost his memories, why would his soul still subconsciously form a barrier to protect Si Jin?
