468 Miss, Your Take Out Has Arrived (8)

Ji Yi instinctively shrank back, so He Jichen must've sensed she was avoiding him in his dreams. He suddenly tightened his grip on her wrist as his quiet mumbling grew louder: "Don't avoid me, don't... I promise I won't bug you. As long as I can see you, that's alright, I promise, promise..."

After he said this, Ji Yi noted his pleading tone as He Jichen talked in his sleep along with the heart-wrenching sadness in his fine brows.

Ji Yi's heart suddenly went soft as she lost all strength in the arm she tried to pull away.

He Jichen probably sensed she had stopped resisting him, so he gradually calmed down and relaxed his grip on her hand. Eventually, he gave off a protective feeling as he gently held Ji Yi.

Her fingers in his palms couldn't help but tremble gently.

She wanted to pull away, yet she didn't. Ji Yi stared at him holding her hand for a moment, but her fingers subconsciously ended up softly holding his hand in return.
