It's Affecting Me (4)

Annie leaned on his back and he stood up, carrying her up.

She quickly gathered the jacket so that she could cover him with it as well. The jacket was big enough to wrap in front of him.

"Button it up!" she said quickly.

Ye Sijue looked down. It would take some effort to button it up and she wouldn't feel comfortable if he did it.

A thought auddenly came to him. He tried buttoning the jacket but couldn't.

"Lean closer to me," he said softly.

"Okay." Annie nodded obediently. She was only worried about him getting sicker so she hugged him tightly, pressing herself against him.

Ye Sijue buttoned up the jacket. Annie hadn't yet caught onto the fact that her chest was against Ye Sijue's back.

"Do you feel warmer now?" Annie laid against his back, her lips almost touching his ear.

Her soft, sweet voice roused Ye Sijue.

"Mm, yeah," he replied.
