"I'm going to sleep in my mom's room," Lin Wan stated.
Xiao Yichen furrowed his brow. Does she not want to be with me?
"Your mom has probably gone to bed by now. Let's not disturb her," Xiao Yichen attempted to contain the frustration in his heart, gently tugging Lin Wan back. He spoke softly, "Wan'er, let's sleep here, alright?"
After a moment, Xiao Yichen added, "I promise I won't do anything impulsive."
Upon hearing Xiao Yichen's words, Lin Wan considered that going to her mother's room at this hour might disrupt her rest, and so…
In the end, Lin Wan compromised. She had no choice but to let Xiao Yichen sleep in her room.
They both lay on the bed. Xiao Yichen held Lin Wan tightly as if she might disappear.
"Let go of me. I feel very uncomfortable like this," Lin Wan struggled and requested. His grip was too tight, making it difficult for her to breathe.
