Shengli watched Xing sleeping peacefully in his arms and he felt relieved a bit. Her pain must have been reduced,he thought and he held her gently so as to not disturb her. He was content by the fact she is fine and he went to sleep as he was so tired.
All Shengli had were nightmares where Xing was looking at him with contempt because he hid about her problem and she went to sleep but didn't wake up.
Shengli woke up and rubbed his eyes and watched Xing in a deep sleep. The night was cold so there were braziers set inside and the smell of plum blossoms dominated in the room as the room was decorated with it. The room was dimly lit with few lamps and Xu mama was waiting outside the wooden partition of the bed area.
