“don’t worry, auntie. jiaojiao just fainted from exhaustion. there’s nothing wrong with her body.” pei yao chuckled as she explained.
quan yuan walked over and sat beside chi jiao. as everyone was talking, he raised his hand and gently stroked chi jiao’s soft and smooth long hair.
the unconscious chi jiao seemed to have sensed something, and her head gently rubbed against quan mo’s palm before she fell into a deeper sleep.
seeing this scene, quan ye’s lips curved into a smile, ” ” leave this to me. i’ll take care of jiao. everyone, go do what you need to do. there’s no need to worry about this. ”
with quan chen taking care of chi jiao, everyone present was indeed more at ease.
” alright then, i’ll leave this place to you, mr. quan. we’ll be leaving now. ” beitang lie and the others didn’t want to be third wheels. they all nodded and left the room.
seeing that quan ye’s attention was on chi jiao, lu xian also smiled with relief. she held bai wanxi’s hand and said gently, ” ” wanxi, why don’t you go out with auntie? auntie also wants to see how xiao ye is doing. ”
bai wanxi nodded her head and agreed to lu xian’s request, ” “okay, i’ll go with you, auntie.”
the two of them looked at each other and smiled, then left the room with beitang lie and the others.
after everyone left and the door was closed, only quan yuan and chi jiao were left in the room.
she reached out and touched chi jiao’s fair little face. quan mo’s actions were full of love and tenderness. her gentle actions treated chi jiao as if she was a fragile piece of art.
chi jiao wasn’t in any serious condition to begin with, but she was weak because her body was weak. at this moment, he felt a familiar and reassuring aura. he struggled for a moment before opening his eyes.
quan ye’s handsome face entered her eyes, and chi jiao’s eyes were full of longing as she gently called out, ” “brother quan.”
“did i wake you up? i’ve heard about it. you’re still very weak right now, so you can continue to sleep. i’ll be here to watch over you.” quan ye advised in a gentle voice.
chi jiao shook her head, looked at quan ye and said, ” ” i don’t want to sleep alone. i want brother quan to accompany me. ”
quan mo’s lips immediately bloomed into a bright smile, and he agreed to chi jiao without thinking, ” “alright, i’ll go with you.”
quan yuan took off his coat and shoes, lifted chi jiao’s blanket, and lay down beside her.
chi jiao’s breathing was filled with quan ye’s scent. at this moment, her entire being was at ease, and she snuggled into quan ye’s arms without moving.
as expected, she could only sleep better with brother quan by her side.
of course, chi jiao didn’t do it just to act coquettishly.
she had been busy these past few days and quan yan was not any better off than her. it had been a long time since the two of them had been able to rest at ease.
now that they had taken out the heart of time and resurrected bai wanxi, it was time for them to take a rest.
chi jiao couldn’t bear to see quan ye working so hard, so she insisted on getting quan ye to rest with her.
at this time, chi jiao leaned her small head on quan ye’s body and said in a gentle tone, ” “brother quan, we’ve been very tired recently. let’s rest together, okay? i want to keep sleeping until i wake up. brother quan, you have to be with me. ”
“alright, go to sleep. i’ll accompany you.” with chi jiao in his arms, quan yuan was also at ease. after chi jiao fell asleep, he also fell asleep.
by the time chi jiao and the other woman woke up again, it was already the next morning.
chi jiao hadn’t slept for so long in a long time. when she opened her eyes, she felt refreshed, as if she had come back to life.
