Chapter 28 Happiness Comes Too Suddenly
Xia Yuxun was quickly taken to the hospital, where she lapsed in and out of unconsciousness several times due to shock, underwent examinations, received saline drips, and was given sedatives.
From beginning to end, she clung to Leng Sichen's hand and refused to let go. As soon as he made the slightest move, she would startle awake and then continually talk in her sleep, as if plagued by nightmares.
In the middle of the night, Leng Sichen, exhausted from the day, had no choice but to lie down beside her for a quick rest, all the while expertly patting her back and soothing her with whispered comforts, "It's all right now, don't be afraid, go to sleep..."
Outside the door, Leng Siche leaned against the cold wall, sleepless throughout the night.
Brother, you fool, do you really despise her?
He had almost deceived everyone, even himself...
The next morning.
Xia Yuxun, half-asleep and half-awake, shifted to turn over only to find her waist held in place by someone's hand, preventing her from moving. She wanted to stretch her arms and kick her legs, but found that her arms and legs were also pinned down?
What was going on? Was this the legendary sleep paralysis?
She continued to try moving...
And the next second, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
Leng Sichen held her, still gently patting her back and murmuring, "It's okay now, there is nothing to worry about, don't move around, sleep..."
Xia Yuxun's eyes snapped open and she found herself facing the slighlty open white shirt and the strong chest underneath.
Uh... a spring dream?
She shuffled once, then again... Finally, she managed to create some distance and looked up to see the person's face clearly.
After seeing the man's face clearly, Xia Yuxun immediately covered her mouth and gasped.
A handsome guy! And not just handsome, but super handsome! Moreover, it was a super handsome guy who was asleep!
His long eyelashes like butterfly wings seemed to be meticulously placed, his sturdy nose bridge was more exquisite than a sculpture, his sharp and thin lips were irredeemably sexy, and his entire face glowed with beauty under the sunlight.
What overwhelmed her heart the most was that this super handsome guy who was holding her so peacefully in his embrace this early in the morning was actually—Leng Sichen!
Shock—waves—hit—her—like a tempest.
The happiness simply came too suddenly...
She considered whether she should go to a temple to burn incense and pray in gratitude, for every time she woke up in recent days, she was able to see a handsome guy, which was just too bizarre.
I am dreaming, I must be dreaming, I don't want to wake up from this dream!
While closing her eyes, Xia Yuxun tried self-hypnosis, not wanting to wake up.
Yet, the rhythmic and powerful heartbeat she felt beneath her hands completely scrambled her thoughts...
If this were a dream, it was way too realistic, wasn't it? It was like a 4D version of a dream...
Xia Yuxun stealthily opened her eyes again.
Leng Sichen was still there...
Close eyes, then open, close eyes, then open, repeating this, he lay there properly, beside her—someone who clearly despised her so was now holding her so intimately...
Cautiously, she extended her slightly trembling hand to touch him...
Eyebrows, nose bridge, lips, chin, ugh… Adam's apple...
It was her first time observing him from such a close distance, even in a dream, it felt blissful.
"Have you seen enough?" the man she had been feeling up suddenly opened his eyes.
Xia Yuxun's pupils shrank and she was so scared that her little heart nearly leapt out of her throat as she stuttered, patting her chest, "I've seen, I've seen enough..."
But she hadn't felt enough.
This was a reply Xia Yuxun had unconsciously blurted out, and the second half nearly slipped out of her mouth, but thankfully, she managed to gulp it down in time.
