Gu Beicheng's arms were wrapped around her, his palm gently patting her back, the phone from earlier nowhere to be seen.
This scene was like comforting a child to sleep, very warm and touching.
"...I'll listen to you, don't be afraid!"
The man's voice, extremely tender, seeped into the girl's dream.
Under the warm embrace, Xia Yinian gradually calmed down.
She wriggled in his arms to find a comfortable position, then fell back into deep sleep.
Until the girl calmed down, Gu Beicheng's hand on her back was reluctant to move away.
There was only one call that came through, and then there was no more ringing.
Ten minutes later, making sure the girl in his arms was sound asleep, Gu Beicheng gently released her.
Leaving Gu Beicheng's embrace, Xia Yinian pouted her lips, seemingly a bit dissatisfied.
After gazing at the girl on the bed for a while, Gu Beicheng leaned down and gently kissed her forehead before picking up his phone and turning to leave.
