Tian Lingyun and her mother talked the whole night sitting close together, only then did she realize that over these years, her mother had been worrying about her day and night. She felt both guilty and relieved; they hadn't completely treated her as a stranger and ignored her.
After a sleepless night, her mother, being older, couldn't hold on and fell into a deep sleep as dawn approached. Tian Lingyun lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.
She carefully sat up, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, tucked in the quilt corners, and then tiptoed out of the guest room. Standing in the corridor, she calmed her mood before pushing open the master bedroom door to enter.
Bo Jingnian was a light sleeper, and he woke up almost at the moment she opened the door. He lay still in the dim light, sensing a slender figure slowly approaching, holding his breath.
