Chapter 1002: Sleeping Beside Him
"I dreamt that you left me," Yan Yan held the small, fragrant and soft body in his arms, drawing her closer, his low voice whispering in her ear, "just like two years ago."
Yun Qiqi’s eyelashes lightly fluttered and she asked, "Do you often have nightmares?"
Yan Yan didn’t deny it: "Mm, I always dream about what happened two years ago."
Yun Qiqi hadn’t thought that someone like him would also have nightmares at night.
Moreover... nightmares about her.
What exactly happened two years ago? If she really was Yun Qiluo, why did she leave his side, and why did she lose her memory?
So much time has passed, yet he still feels this upset.
It must have been incredibly painful at the time.
Thinking of what Shijia had told her, Yun Qiqi’s eyes slightly sparkled, and she felt a strange softness in her heart.
She hesitated for a moment, then turned around and reached to hug the man’s slender waist.
She softly consoled him, "It’s all in the past..."
Yan Yan still held her tightly, kissing her cheek for quite a while, his gaze burning into her eyes in the dark, as he whispered, "Little Gua, please don’t leave me again, okay?"
Seeing the man’s phoenix eyes, the young girl was once again stunned, instinctively responding, "Mm."
Yan Yan remained silent for a moment before saying, "I want to hold you to sleep, at least wait until I fall asleep before you leave, can you?"
Yun Qiqi hadn’t yet spoken, and he lowered his eyes again, his captivating face showing none of its usual nonchalance or flamboyance, only a sense of loneliness.
Lightning flashed, illuminating his face, making it look both stunning and fragile.
His thin lips moved slightly, his voice quiet and slow:
"When you were here before, I always held you while sleeping. After you were gone, I developed severe insomnia and could only fall asleep holding your pillow reluctantly..."
"But eventually, even the pillow lost your scent."
His tone didn’t fluctuate much while speaking these last words, yet it was faintly discernible that his voice was trembling slightly.
Yun Qiqi felt as if she was about to be engulfed by the dull ache emanating from her chest.
She lay in his arms, her small face pressed against his chest, listening to the strong and powerful beat of his heart, and after a long while, blushing, she whispered:
"Then I’ll wait until you fall asleep before going back."
She was already planning to stay until he fell asleep, and after a brief contemplation, it seemed there was nothing wrong with that.
Originally intending to stay by his bedside, it turned into... lying in his bed accompanying him.
Anyway, once he fell asleep, she could get up and leave.
Upon hearing her words, the furrow in Yan Yan’s brow slowly relaxed, his large hand brushed over her head, hugging her tighter before finally closing his eyes.
Yun Qiqi was planning to wait until he fell asleep to return to her room, counting the time all the while.
But being in his arms, she felt far too warm, and far too comfortable.
Especially on a rainy night like this, listening to the sound of his heartbeat brought her an inexplicable sense of comfort, a comfort that made her particularly sleepy.
He carried a particularly pleasant scent, the kind Yun Qiqi loved the most.
She initially tried to stay awake, but within five minutes, her mind began to grow hazy again, and eventually, all that vigilance melted away, and she fell deeply asleep.
Even in her sleep, her small hand still clutched tightly to the front of his robe.
Yan Yan himself never did fall asleep. After two long years, holding her in his arms while sleeping once more, he felt his heart was overflowing.
