Jiang Peihuan truly wasn't sleepy at this moment. Xiao Nanye did not respond verbally. Instead, he pulled out a bamboo flute from his robe.
Jiang Peihuan looked on with a touch of surprise as Xiao Nanye brought the flute.
Shortly after, the melodic tones filled the room. Its sound was soothing and relaxing. She felt at ease.
Sitting by Jiang Peihuan's bedside, Xiao Nanye played the flute, his sight never took off from her.
Whether it was because of Xiao Nanye's presence or the calming tunes of the flute, Jiang Peihuan started feeling drowsy.
Xiao Nanye's tune became even more gentle. A few moments later, her breathing evened out in sleep.
Xiao Nanye stopped playing.
After carefully tucking Jiang Peihuan in, Xiao Nanye made his way out of the room.
"Guard her closely."
"Yes."
Ye Xiao was standing outside the door. She promptly bowed in acknowledgment.
Subsequently, Xiao Nanye left the General's mansion.
