Chapter 208: Protect and Wait

Fu Xiuyuan's well-defined fingers grabbed at the blanket, his eyes surging wildly.

He wanted to, but he could not, nor did he dare to.

His heart trembled violently at the thought of her resistance and tears back then. He was afraid that she would feel disgusted by him.

He was worried that she would leave.

He fell back into a tangle of reason and emotion. He couldn't afford to lose her. However, Shi Jin, who was opposite, did not sense anything. She switched off the lights and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

She knew that Fu Xiuyuan hadn't slept well for several days. Even with the essence of the yao orchid, which could heal his nerves, his stomach had never improved. With Shi Jin around, he could sleep peacefully.

In the dark night, where the eyes could not see, the other senses became clearer.

Shi Jin felt Fu Xiuyuan's arm around her waist and didn't move. She smiled slightly.
