Late at night, Bai Ruozhu coaxed Little Dengdeng to sleep. She had been in a state of nervous tension throughout the day, and she unconsciously fell asleep, too.
Seeing that the mother and son were both asleep, Jiang Yichun finally relaxed his furrowed brow and quietly walked to their side, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on Bai Ruozhu.
He reached out his hand, wanting to touch her sleeping face, but ultimately pulled it back.
He only had three years to live, and he couldn't risk Ruozhu and the child's safety for his own selfish desires.
After he died, the child would still need to be brought up by Ruozhu. He couldn't let anything happen to her.
Thinking of this, he turned away, took a quilt, laid it out outside the Space cabin, and simply slept on the ground.
