Meng Fei is here, Your Highness, take it! 083 fell asleep in his arms.

  Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, the earth returned to darkness once again, heavy rain poured down, Xia Xie's memory remained in that vast red sky, her sister's tightly closed eyes and pale face, as well as that icy, frightening temperature...

  Memories faded away, and before her eyes was still the endless darkness. Only the warmth of his embrace could provide her with some comfort, so she subconsciously clutched at his collar desperately.

  From that day on, she was afraid of the dark night, afraid of darkness...

  "So much blood, sister... Sister, I'm sorry..." Sorry, if it wasn't for her being so reckless and playful, that wouldn't have happened. The one who died shouldn't be my sister. She can't forget the sorrowful eyes of Father and Mother, they were supposed to be a happy family, all because of her."

  After her sister's death, Father and Mother only had one daughter left. They were afraid of losing her again, so they poured all their love on her. Unbeknownst to them, this love had turned into overindulgence at some point.

  But from that day on, Xia Xixi changed. She no longer liked wearing skirts and threw away all her dolls. She took all the blame upon herself, thinking that if she hadn't been so weak and cowardly, her sister wouldn't have died. She wanted to become strong, she didn't want to be a weak girl anymore, she wanted to be like a boy.

  So she completely changed, liked to fight, spoke foul language, wore boys' clothes and was sloppy all day.

  However, every time it thunders and rains, or when she is alone in the dark, her heart fills with fear, and involuntarily recalls that scene from ten years ago, which has become a nightmare for her over the past decade.

  "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Feng Jin comforted her gently, patting her back as she buried herself in his arms and continued to sob. Although he didn't know her story, he could deeply feel her sorrow. Not knowing how to console her, all he could do was hold her like this, offering the only warmth he had.

  The small body in his arms was trembling slightly, and the soft sobbing sound was even more jarring in this quiet atmosphere. The two of them just stood there, silently embracing each other. It was hard to imagine that just a few minutes ago, they had been passionately arguing in this very room, but now it had become so harmonious.

  It wasn't until much later that the sobbing grew faint, slowly disappearing and replaced by gentle breathing sounds. Feng Jin involuntarily lowered his head, and under the soft moonlight, he only then discovered that the person in his arms had fallen asleep at some point.

  He couldn't help but wonder, were women really as changeable as they said?

  Not long ago, she was still fierce and domineering, but as soon as the power went out, she cried like a frightened little white rabbit. Now, she's sleeping in his arms without any guard, what should he say to her?

  He wanted to get up, go out and call for Ming Shang Gong, let her call someone to fix the circuit in the room. However, as soon as he sensed his intention to leave, Xia Xie Xi, who had already fallen asleep, tightly grasped his hand and refused to let go. To her, he was now the "liferaft" in the vast ocean; how could she possibly let go of something that was saving her life?

  Helpless, Feng Jin had no choice but to take off his overcoat and wrap it around her body, then pick her up in his arms. Although the floor was covered with a long-haired rug, what kind of thing was sleeping on the floor?

  He pushed open the bathroom door, and the whole room was pitch black. With the light from outside the window and the faint moonlight, he clearly saw the layout of the room. After hesitating for a few seconds, he carried her towards the door.
