Seeing Daohua sleeping soundly with relaxed brows, Xiao Yeyang let go of his worries. After covering her with a cloak, he also closed his eyes to rest and soon fell asleep too.
Time passed, and as they travelled through a bumpy section of the road, the carriage jostled both awake.
The moment Xiao Yeyang opened his eyes, he checked on Daohua's injured arm and, seeing it wasn't touched, he sighed in relief. Then, his gaze shifted and landed on Daohua, who was looking at him with sleepy eyes.
Having just woken up, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were hazy, a dazed and adorable appearance that softened Xiao Yeyang's heart. He chuckled, "Awake?"
Daohua nodded subconsciously, then realized she was lying on Xiao Yeyang's legs and was tightly gripping his hand. She immediately let go in embarrassment and tried to sit up, but as she moved, the cloak on top of her slid off.
