Tao Yu let out a cold snort, “Seems like you have quite a self-preservation awareness.”
Yue Linze paused, knowing she had seen through his lie, and couldn’t help but let out a light laugh. He casually threw the towel aside and leaned up to kiss her lips, but Tao Yu turned away, and his kiss landed on the side of her lips.
“Angry?” Yue Linze asked.
Tao Yu glanced at him, “I was worried.”
“Sorry,” Yue Linze grabbed her hand and lay down, forcing her to lie in his arms, “I just wanted to trick you into coming.”
“…You dare to admit that?” Tao Yu, seeing he had no further intentions, finally relaxed and rested her head on his arm.
Yue Linze smiled and wrapped them both tightly in the blanket: “I just missed you too much.” In the last world, from around forty, he had stopped holding her while sleeping, afraid she would see his wrinkles, and afraid that no matter how much he exercised, his muscles would gradually show signs of sagging.
She had only entered his mind as a segment of consciousness, and could quickly compress that time to a normal state when she came out. But he, due to the real memories of his alternate personality merging into his brain, those times could not be compressed like here. So, in a way, he hadn’t held her like this for decades.
Tao Yu was unaware of his thoughts and, hearing his words, only thought it was his sophistry. They had seen each other just an hour ago, so what was there to miss? She let out a light hum, found her familiar position in his arms, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Yue Linze lay quietly for a while, then closed his eyes and fell asleep too.Safety, safety sense? Why don’t you and I feel safe in this relationship?” Tao Yu was shocked. This relationship had been smooth and natural. Although she occasionally felt it was too perfect to be real and had various messy thoughts, she never expected Yue Linze would also feel insecure.
