Ye Xun naturally noticed the tears. He leaned down, handed the medicine bowl to Lu'er, and gently raised her head, "What's wrong? Why are you crying again?"
"No...it's nothing." Zhixin hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Okay, don't cry anymore." Ye Xun deliberately said with a straight face, "Lie down and rest."
"Um."
It was rare for Zhixin to be so obedient, so Yexun smiled happily, covered her with the quilt, stood up, and planned to leave.
"Don't leave." Zhixin reached out and grabbed him. She was afraid that she would be alone even if she was sick. The fear of loneliness and helplessness made her inexplicably afraid.
Ye Xun turned his head in confusion. Seeing the request in Zhi Xin's eyes and the fleeting fear, Ye Xun's heart tightened slightly. However, Zhi Xin's trust and dependence on him made him feel even more
Pleasure.
He sat down next to her again and said softly: "Sleep well, I won't leave, I will stay here with you."
"Really...really not leaving?" Ye Xun's answer made Zhixin feel a little calmer.
"Well, I really won't leave." Ye Xun reached out and held her hand tightly, making her feel at ease.
"Thank you... thank you." Zhixin felt a warm current in her heart. This was probably the first time in 18 years that she had someone staying with her when she was sick.
"Thank you for what?" Ye Xun smiled helplessly. The cold sweat on her forehead made Ye Xun frown, "Go to sleep."
"Okay." She closed her eyes gently, Zhixin's brows were always furrowed, but the exhaustion in her heart and the injuries on her body made her fall asleep quickly, but she never dared to let go of Ye Xun, for fear that he would leave.
.
"This girl..." Ye Xun's eyes were filled with distress, he stretched out his hand to smooth her frown, and sat down next to her.
Leaning on the head of the bed, he stared at the top of the bed and was stunned. What on earth was he doing now? He had never thought that he would be so gentle to a woman other than Yong Xin. He even felt distressed because of the helplessness in Huo Zhixin's eyes.
As an emperor, he was so willing to stay up late at night just to let her sleep peacefully.
