She returned to her bedroom but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. However, she still forced herself to sleep. She had to keep her energy in order to figure out who the real murderer was.
A minute after she had fallen asleep, she felt as the blanket got lifted up and suddenly, a gush of warmth spread around her.
She instinctively moved closer to the warmth and took a deep breath.
"You're back. . ." She said softly with her eyes closed, but she was fully awake now.
"Mhm. . ." The deep voice rang in her ear and a small smile appeared on her face. Her back faced him, and he wrapped his arm around her waist, grabbing onto her hand.
In the darkness, he gently kissed her ear, and He Xinyan couldn't help but shudder slightly from the sensitive touch.
Without saying anything more, the two of them fell asleep.
