“Yes, Lao Chang suddenly came to my dorm and scolded me today, so I didn’t dare to sleep. Otherwise, I could have slept a few more hours.” Tao Yu’s eyes were dark and blue. Although she had slept for a long time, the sleep was of poor quality, interrupted by Lao Chang. Now, being held by Yue Linze, drowsiness overcame her again.
Yue Linze stroked her short hair, softly saying, “Go back and rest, sleep some more.”
Tao Yu thought to herself, how could she dare to leave in this situation? She carefully glanced at Yue Linze and lay down on the small bed, closing her eyes, “I’ll sleep right here.”
“The bed is too hard,” Yue Linze disagreed.
Tao Yu snorted, pulling him onto the bed, then laying on top of him, “Now it’s soft.”
Yue Linze stiffened for a moment, finally resignedly placing his hand on her shoulder. Tao Yu curved her lips, hugging his arm more tightly.
Tao Yu quickly fell asleep in his arms, and after Yue Linze stared blankly for a long time, he slowly closed his eyes.
The two slept peacefully together. Tao Yu no longer had nightmares, her lips curved upward in her dreams.
They slept for a long time. Only when Yue Linze nudged her did she drowsily wake up, opening her eyes to see that it was already dark outside.
“Time for dinner? I’ll go get your meal,” Tao Yu rubbed her eyes.
Yue Linze found her confused look adorable and smiled, “I’m not hungry. After you eat, don’t come back. Go back and rest properly.”
“That won’t do,” Tao Yu was unwilling.
Yue Linze pinched her cheek, “You’ve worked hard these past few days. Be good, okay?”
Tao Yu looked at him reluctantly but, seeing his insistence, could only nod and slowly left the solitary confinement room under his watch.
Yue Linze listened to her footsteps fade away, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually disappearing. He stared blankly at the cracks on the floor for a long time before sighing.
He used to think that their current situation was enough for him. But since she called another man’s name, he suddenly realized he didn’t completely possess her heart. At least in her life outside the island, he was nameless.
