Han Muzi was speechless upon seeing this. He didn’t want it when she gave him the pillow. Instead, he wanted to be cushioned by her.
Damn, what a wishful thought! Han Muzi murmured in her mind, but she did not resist. Since there were soft pillows on her legs and her back, it would not be uncomfortable for her to sit like this, so she just let him lie on it.
It was actually quite uncomfortable for Ye Moxuan to lean on her like this, but it was better than sitting upright all the time. Besides, he could take in the fragrance of this woman this way.
He was satisfied. The ward was quiet for a while. When Han Muzi looked down at the back of the young man in front of him, she could only see his back with his stomach on her lap.
Thinking of the wound she saw in the afternoon, Han Muzi closed her eyes as her heart clenched. It was better to stop thinking about it and just go to bed.
She was ready to let him sleep on her thighs all night, so she simply leaned back. After tilting her head backward and closing her eyes, she soon drifted asleep.
The event that happened during the day was probably too terrifying; not long after Han Muzi went to sleep, she dreamed about Ye Moxuan rushing over to protect her from the sulfuric acid.
Moreover, in the dream, Ye Moxuan’s injuries were much more severe than reality, so it really scared Han Muzi. She was so nervous that she sweated profusely and opened her eyes suddenly.
Panting a little, Han Muzi found that her back was wet, but the ward was very quiet. Han Muzi looked down and found that Ye Moxuan was deep asleep while lying on the pillow on her lap.
Han Muzi didn’t dare to alarm him. Instead, she just tilted her head slightly and glanced at the watch on her wrist. Then, she found that it was slightly over 3AM. Is it already this hour? It would take a while until morning arrives.
She lowered her head to look down at Ye Moxuan again.
From her angle, she could see his long eyelashes being reflected in the light, casting shadows around his eyes. Because of the injury, Ye Moxuan’s face was a little pale, as well as his lips. When he was sleeping silently, he just looked like an extremely vulnerable patient.
Ye Moxuan was severely injured and was looking very fragile at this moment. However, he still tried to use his injuries to convince her to stay with him.
Ye Moxuan, what on earth are you trying to do?
You’ve gone to such lengths just to keep me around to lean on me while you sleep, and you’re already showing such a contented expression.
If I didn’t know better, I would’ve thought that you’d fallen irreversibly in love with me.
But if you really loved me so much, why did you give me the divorce contract five years ago? Apart from that, you didn’t even want to see me.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi closed her eyes tiredly as she seemed to have fallen into that painful memory.
She really never wanted to experience such pain for a second time in her life.
…
When the first rays of sunlight rose in the early morning, Ye Moxuan was already awake, but he didn’t move. Last night, he kept lying on the pillow on Han Muzi’s legs in this position.
When he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that she had fallen asleep leaning against the wall, so he got up and sat still for a while as he watched her peaceful face.
It was strange that Han Muzi didn’t look any worse now without any makeup on compared to five years ago; on the contrary, she looked even more confident than before. There was a distinct style that belonged to her, and he was enchanted by just looking at her.
Later, Ye Moxuan even secretly kissed the corner of her mouth.
It was just that the wound really hurt a lot, so he didn’t push himself.
When it was dawn, he leaned back on the pillow on the woman’s lap and enjoyed it.
It would be nice if she could be as quiet during the day as how she looked when she was asleep. In that case, he wouldn’t feel so troubled.
Unfortunately, this was impossible.
While he was thinking about it, Han Muzi stirred and woke up slowly.
“You’re up?” Ye Moxuan’s deep voice rang.
Han Muzi lowered her head and found that Ye Moxuan was staring at her sideways with a pair of gentle eyes, and she felt that she could almost drown in his eyes at that moment. Han Muzi’s breathing stopped, and she nodded blankly.
But soon, she returned to her senses again and avoided Ye Moxuan’s eyes. “Get up, now,” she whispered.
Ye Moxuan did not abide by her command. Instead, he stayed there for a while before getting up.
“It’s uncomfortable to sleep like this,” he couldn’t help grumbling.
Hearing that, Han Muzi frowned. “Well, you complain about being uncomfortable. Do you think it was comfortable for me?”
When she finished her sentence, she wanted to stand up and go to the bathroom, but she realized that she couldn’t even get up, as her legs were all numb.
Han Muzi’s expression changed, and her pink lips parted. In the end, she seemed to think that this was a little amusing, so she simply sat still.
“What’s the matter?” Ye Moxuan asked with a frown.
“What do you think?” she replied angrily. “You slept on my lap all night, and I can’t move my legs at all now.”
Ye Moxuan only wanted to sleep on her lap last night, and he didn’t think of this problem at all. Now that she couldn’t even stand up and could only sit there, he frowned in distress. “I’m sorry. I should have thought of it.”
Seeing his apologetic expression, Han Muzi felt a little sorry for him again and replied, “It’s not your fault. You were injured because of me. This is what I owe you.”
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan was rather unhappy, and his frown deepened.
“So you stayed with me all night because you think that you owe me?”
“What else could it be?” Han Muzi quickly replied, but after she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong, and she raised her head quickly.
Sure enough, Ye Moxuan wore a disappointed expression.
Oh, no! Han Muzi secretly thought. “I didn’t mean to blame you. I mean, you are injured now, so I have an obligation to take care of you,” she hurriedly explained.
She stopped mentioning the incident where he protected her so that he wouldn’t use this to give her trouble later.
Hence, it was better just to keep quiet.
It was better to let him recuperate first.
However, Ye Moxuan didn’t speak anymore; he just stared at her meaningfully with a pair of black eyes.
“I already let you sleep on my thighs all night until my legs are all numb. Don’t tell me that you are still angry with me at this time.”
Ye Moxuan paused for a moment. Seeing Han Muzi’s aggrieved expression, he suddenly realized that he had gone overboard, so he suppressed his emotions. “I’m not.”
Then, he raised his hand and placed it on Han Muzi’s leg to give her a massage.
Han Muzi’s expression changed drastically, and she quickly reached out to hold his hand down. “What are you doing?”
“Can’t you tell?” Ye Moxuan gripped her hand using his other hand and lifted it. Then, he gently pressed his other hand on her leg.
Her legs were numb because the blood couldn’t flow smoothly. If he kneaded her lightly now, it would improve her blood circulation much faster.
He didn’t do anything that was out of the line; he was massaging her very seriously. Han Muzi felt embarrassed and wanted to avoid him, but the serious expression on Ye Moxuan’s face made her feel that she was thinking too much into it.
Suddenly, Han Muzi exclaimed as she thought of something, “Your injury… Didn’t the doctor say that you shouldn’t do anything that would stretch or open your wounds again?”
