Chapter 35- Stay Here With Me For A Little While (2)

His room door was opened, but he wasn't there. There was, however, light coming from his study.

Pushing opened the door, she saw Huo YanXiao sitting on the couch with a painful look on his face.

His face was pale. His eyes were shut tightly. The knot between his brows communicated the pain he was undergoing right now. His usually chiseled face had lost its normal strong and distant aura from the pain, making him seem a little fragile.

"Big brother." Nie AnAn approached him and reached out to touch his forehead. "Where do you feel sick?"

Huo YanXiao opened his eyes slowly, and he could still see the dancing black and white dots in front of his eyes. They made Nie AnAn's face seem blurry.

His voice was a little coarse ashe said, "Headache."

Hearing that, Nie AnAn quickly walked behind Huo YanXiao and placed her fingers on his head. "Big brother, let me give you a massage."

He didn't turn her down but shifted all his weight onto the couch and let Nie AnAn give him a massage.

Her fingers were soft but firm. Following the acupuncture points, bit by bit, pain started to leave his body and he was able to slowly relax.

Memories of that night receded like a tide. The memory of his cruel past was, once again, buried deep in his memory. His body had regained its temperature and the black and white dots in front of his eyes also started to dissipate.

"Come over here, AnAn." Huo YanXiao pointed at the spot next to him.

Nie AnAn didn't stop what she was doing. "Big brother, are you still hurting?"

"Not anymore," he said. "Sit here with me for a little bit."

Nie AnAn nodded and walked around to the couch next to him and sat down.

The man next to her still has his eyes closed, but he had relaxed entirely.

Under the artificial light, his brows and eyes were clear. As his head was lifted, his protruding Adam's apple reminded her of a snow covered peak that she had seen in her previous life.

From his chin all the way down to his chest, there was a beautifully arched contour. He rarely let his fragile side be seen. Behind his asceticism, there was a sexiness that could drive every woman crazy.

Nie AnAn couldn't move her eyes away from him.

Such a good-looking brother. He must be the best perk from this transmigration.

She sat there accompanying him quietly. She was quite awake at the beginning, but she has always had a very rhythmic biological clock. It wasn't long before her little head started to droop like a little chick pecking at food in front of it.

She fought as hard as she could, but finally, she had no idea when or how she had fallen asleep.

Somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness, she felt that her head had finally found a safe and warm support and she relaxed completely and fell asleep.

Somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness, Huo YanXiao fell a weight on his shoulder followed immediately by a refreshing and sweet aroma.

He turned and saw the girl's head resting on his shoulder.

She seemed to be very tired. She only grunted a little before she fell back asleep.

Her eyes were shut tightly, and her eyelashes looked like two fans, quietly casting two delicate shadows .

The corner of Huo YanXiao's mouth lifted up. As though resigned, he closed his eyes again and continued to meditate.

His plan was to carry Nie AnAn back to her room once she was more soundly asleep, what he didn't expect was that he had fallen asleep himself as well.

When he woke up again, an hour had passed.

On Huo YanXiao's shoulder, there was a patch of wetness.

He carefully let Nie AnAn's head rolled into the crook of arm before threading his other arm under her knees and picked her up.

Reaching her room, he placed her gently onto the bed and pulled the blanket over her.

The girl inside the blanket was quietly asleep. Her little face, exposed from the blanket, looked obedient and nice. Under the light, her skin seemed to be poress, like jello that little kids liked.

"Goodnight, AnAn," said Huo YanXiao as he stood up and walked carefully out of her room
