203 How are you feeling lately?

Fan Xiao Yao would be lying to herself if she said that she wasn't bothered by the nightmares Huang Li had. She knew about his past feelings for Shi Enxi but despite that, she decided to trust him. She knew that he would never betray her especially when his feelings for her were real. Still, why was he having such nightmares?

She pulled him close against her hug as if she was also trying to convince herself that right now, he was there inside her arms. She only hoped that the warm embrace she was giving him was enough to comfort him, to ease his mind from that kind of nightmare.

In her arms Huang Li was safe and his worries disappeared like rain on summer earth. In that embrace, he was cocooned better than any butterfly-to-be. He felt her soft skin and the gentle squeeze on his own. He bathed in her warmth.
