At two in the morning, when Mu Beiting finished his work and came out of the study to make himself a cup of coffee, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Ye Anxin sitting on the ground, her legs curled up, arms hugging her knees, head leaning against the door frame, her petite body curled into a ball, sleeping soundly! Not even the sound of the door opening woke her.
Mu Beiting lowered his eyes and clearly saw Ye Anxin's furrowed brows, the tears on her eyelashes not yet dry. After a moment of silence, he finally crouched down and lifted her into his arms, carrying her in a princess hold towards the bedroom next door with large strides.
Holding her in his arms, Mu Beiting could clearly feel the person in his embrace sleeping restlessly, seemingly dreaming, her mouth opening and closing, muttering incessantly.
