Chapter 457 - 435: Let’s Sleep Together
The boat sailed on the thin layer of ice on the water, breaking through it as it went, snowflakes drifting down gracefully, painting a unique beautiful scene."Are you cold?" Lu Jinxi held her hand and placed it in his palm, transferring warmth to her.
Huo Nanyin smiled slightly, unobtrusively withdrawing her hand and said, "You should rest for a while, it’s not going to arrive soon."
"I’m afraid if I fall asleep, you’ll disappear." In this strange and unpredictable place, he began to feel insecure too, especially her aloofness made him more worried and scared.
Huo Nanyin chuckled, "Where could I go? I’ll wake you up when we disembark."
In the past, she was the one who worried about losing him, so scared that she couldn’t sleep, even when lying in his arms being held by him, she was constantly anxious because she clearly understood the gap between them and knew such happiness was fleeting and fragile, so fragile that it could shatter with a touch.
He still insisted on staying with her, even if it was just idle staring at the snowy scenery outside the window, he kept his eyes on her all the time.
After a day and night, the boat finally docked, and then they had to take a train to Mai City, that city she hadn’t dared to return to for so many years, that city that belonged to him, she didn’t know what this journey meant, perhaps he could regain his memory, but she couldn’t bring him back again, nor could she stay by his side.
The long journey was tiring, but having him by her side gave her comfort, she probably had already prepared for the worst, so her heart now felt somewhat relieved.
"Are we there?"
Huo Nanyin nodded, without saying much.
They had come to this station many times, she didn’t want to spend his money, so for performances and trips out of town they mostly took the train, every time he would be waiting outside the station to pick her up punctually.
These were the things she didn’t say, only hoping that seeing these familiar scenes would remind him of something, but he didn’t remember anything, even asking her, "Have you been here before?"
Huo Nanyin smiled, looked up at him and said, "This is where he used to live."
Lu Jinxi was stunned at her words, uneasily asked, "You came to find him?"
Huo Nanyin gave her a meaningful look, then smiled briefly and turned away to continue walking, without saying anything more.
The person she was looking for was right beside her, even if he had forgotten everything, she now felt very happy, she didn’t even want him to remember the past.
The money they had wasn’t much, so they found a small motel, with only one bed.
"I’ll sleep on the sofa, you’re too tall."
He immediately objected, "You sleep on the bed, don’t catch a cold."
Huo Nanyin curled her lips, while organizing her clothes, she said, "Won’t you catch a cold sleeping on the sofa?"
"I’m a man, my body is stronger than yours, you go take a hot shower first, I’ll tidy up here."
Huo Nanyin always had a faint smile, although he had forgotten the past, his pampering towards her was still the same as before.
Although the winter in Mai City wasn’t as cold as on the island, the chill still seeped through the night, Huo Nanyin looked at Lu Jinxi lying on the sofa with his head on a pillow, naturally feeling sorry for him.
"Not asleep yet?" He suddenly turned his head, their gazes met in the darkness.
Huo Nanyin didn’t avoid it, directly meeting his gaze, sat up on the bed, after a few seconds of silence she said, "Why don’t we... sleep together, the bed is big enough."
Lu Jinxi was stunned, looked at her gently, smiled and asked, "Aren’t you afraid?"
"What do I have to be afraid of... after all, we’ve been living together for so long."
