“Why are you here?” When she got up, the quilt covering her body slipped off.

She only took off her outer padded jacket. She was afraid that she might have to get up at any time. No wonder she couldn’t sleep well.

Hu Feng felt sore in his heart, sat down on the side of the bed, held her hand, and whispered: “I’m not relieved, so I come over and take a look.”

His hands were cold, his nose sprayed a thick white gas, and the tip of his nose seemed to be red as well, which showed he had been staying outside.

“Have you been staying outside?” She asked.

“How do you know?” Hu Feng looked curious. He was outside, but even the guards in the mansion didn’t know, so how did she know?

After covering his cold hands, she blew two more breaths. As if doing this his hands could warm up quickly: “Your body is so cold like this. Didn’t it mean you were outside for long?”

Hu Feng suddenly smiled, then withdrew his hand and pulled the quilt to cover her: “Go to sleep, I’ll stay here to guard you.”

Seeing the bluish-black eyebags under her eyes during the day, he knew that she didn’t sleep well these days.

He didn’t intend to wake her when he came in, but she was so alert.

Bai Zhi nodded: “Okay, you also sleep for a while.”

The earth dragon was burning in the room, she was not afraid of him being cold. She felt at ease with him.

Bai Zhi closed her eyes and fell asleep almost without worry, but her eyebrows were still frowning.

Hu Feng sighed silently, stretched out his fingers to wipe the wrinkles in her eyebrows for her. But in fear that his hands would be too cold and awakened her again, he warmed his fingers first before he stroked her eyebrows.

Who knows if his hands were too warm, or his movements were too gentle, Bai Zhi grabbed his hand unconsciously, put the warm palm under her face, rubbed it like a cat, and fell asleep sweetly as a smile hung around her lips.

Hu Feng’s heart was beating fast. As if someone was heavily hammering his heart repeatedly.

In the quiet room, it seemed that apart from her shallow breathing, there was only the sound of his heartbeat.

He didn’t dare to move, so he just sat there, letting her hold his hand, and used his tenderness as a pillow.

He doesn’t know how long time passed, but it was so long that he almost fell asleep.

The rooster’s crow sounded into the room. It was so loud that it awakens the sleeping people.

The thick and curled eyelashes that looked like a small fan trembled lightly and then opened her eyes.

The fatigue in her eyes was swept away. Her black pupils seemed to have just been washed with water. They were extremely clear.

A familiar figure entered her eyes, his hand was still held by her.

Bai Zhi sat up, let go of his hand, and apologized: “You just sat like this all night?”

Hu Feng retracted his sweaty hand and dryly laughed: “It just a blink of an eye, I’m not tired.”

*Gurulu—*

He was not tired. Although he didn’t sleep at night, he just sat there, but he felt more energetic.

However, he was not feeling tired, but hungry.

This was something he can’t control even if he wanted to.

Bai Zhi quickly got out of bed, went to the back screen, and put her clothes on. Without looking back, she said to Hu Feng to wait for her. She will go to the kitchen to have a look.

Hu Feng wanted to stop her, but he was afraid that his loud voice would disturb the people outside. It would be bad if he was driven away at that time.

After this pause, Bai Zhi’s figure had long disappeared at the door of the room.

There was a slender figure standing in the yard. It was the girl who led her the way last night. Did this girl stand in the yard all night?

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the girl turned around. Seeing that it was her, she frowned and asked, “Miss Bai, where are you going?”

Bai Zhi replied: “I am hungry, I will go to the kitchen to see what to eat.”
