บท 446: If The Moon Was Split In Half

After Li Xueyue shared a meal with Yu Zhen, she was able to convince him to go back to bed. He tried to get her to sleep first, but she refused to buy any of his excuses. She went as far as staring blankly at the ceiling in defiance.

Finally, Yu Zhen gave in and closed his eyes as well. Li Xueyue laid on her side, watching him slowly, but surely drifted off into dreamland. And soon, she joined him as her eyelids shut and she, too, fell asleep.

And without realizing it, both of them slept until the next morning.

Li Xueyue sat up in bed, puzzled and bewildered by the change of day. "He's always gone before me," she mumbled, touching the empty spot beside her. It was slightly warm which meant he had just left.

"Maybe he didn't want to disturb my sleep," Li Xueyue concluded, knowing he preferred for her to rest more. But if she did that, then her plans would be delayed by another day.
