Lin Jiyue originally wanted to refute his words like before, but suddenly remembered that he came over almost as soon as she turned on the flashlight. If it wasn't for him being sensitive... it was because he didn't sleep at all. If he thought more narcissistically, he might be
It's just for her sake.
Lin Jiyue suddenly felt a little moved and asked with difficulty: "Have you been awake all this time?"
Zhuang Tianyao paused, but did not answer her words. Instead, he turned his head to the dark outside: "You can sleep well, I will keep watch outside."
His appearance seemed to want her to know that he was by her side to make her feel at ease.
Looking at Zhuang Tianyao's tall back, Lin Jiyue was slightly lost in thought. After a while, she absentmindedly got back into bed, but accidentally stepped on the flashlight.
Fortunately, there was a coral blanket, so she didn't feel too much pain when she lay down. She just let out a slight "ah", but it was still very prominent in the quiet and empty place.
Zhuang Tianyao frowned as he watched from outside, pursed his lips and said, "Why are you always so careless?" Seeing that she was frozen for a while, he leaned in and asked, "Huh? Are you hurt?"
"My feet hurt a little." Lin Jiyue answered in a muffled voice while buried in the quilt.
Zhuang Tianyao got back in and turned on a small light first. Since the tent was not very spacious, he had to help her lie down and put her feet on his legs to check.
Lin Jiyue looked uncomfortable and tried to break away, but he patted her gently with frowning eyebrows: "Don't move!"
It sounded like his tone was not very good, but Lin Jiyue really didn't move.
Zhuang Tianyao held her calf with one hand, grabbed her delicate instep with the other and gently turned it, asking: "Does it hurt like this?"
Seeing her shaking her head, he changed direction and continued to ask, "What about this?"
This time Lin Jiyue hissed, bit her lip and said only one word: "It hurts."
She has been most afraid of pain since she was a child. When she went to the doctor when she was a child, she would hold on to the door and refuse to move to get an injection. If she accidentally fell and hurt something, her father would definitely have to coax her for a long time.
"Maybe you have strained a muscle. Let me rub it for you first. I will go back to the doctor tomorrow to have a look." Zhuang Tianyao massaged her as gently as possible. He felt that the soles of her feet were very cold, so he massaged her other foot.
Put it on your lap and use your palms to warm her.
Lin Jiyue was stunned and couldn't get away. She could only raise her body with her elbows and look at him: "What are you doing?"
Zhuang Tianyao said matter-of-factly: "The soles of your feet are so cold that it's hard to fall asleep. I'll help you cover them first."
It was as if they were already boyfriend and girlfriend, as he said, and they were as intimate as each other, without any scruples or awkwardness.
But even if they are a couple, not everyone can be so considerate, let alone the second young master of the banker who has always been aloof.
Time seemed to have stood still, and Lin Jiyue could only hear her own breathing and heartbeat.
The soles of her feet were itchy and warm from the rubbing by his hands, which also caused unstoppable throbbing.
After a while, Zhuang Tianyao saw Lin Jiyue still looking at him with wide eyes. He couldn't help but smile, leaned forward and said, "If I don't sleep, I will do something bad!"
This trick was so effective that Lin Jiyue was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly and even held her breath.
Zhuang Tianyao's smile deepened, and he looked down at her calm brows for a long time. His heart had been beating for a day and he inevitably had the urge to hug her, but he had to hold back.
He knew that Lin Jiyue was still young and had not fully accepted him. If he suddenly tried to be strong on her, it would only frighten her.
