Chapter 2667: Not Afraid with You Here (2)
Just like when they were children, every time she got lost, he would always be the first to find her, scold her thoroughly, and then tenderly carry her home on his back.
Fifteen years slipped by in the blink of an eye, but that feeling of trust will never change.
"Mm, no matter where you get lost, I will find you." Dan Tingye listened to her sleep-talking and remembered the days of their childhood friendship.
The expression on his charming face softened, and he slightly tightened his arms, holding her closer.
He took off his suit jacket and gently covered her, letting her rest on his chest, her petite body almost nestled entirely in his embrace.
The faint fragrance of her body continuously wafted to his nose, and her restless sleeping posture occasionally made her rub her face against his chest...
In no time, Dan Tingye was teased to the point of almost losing control, his whole body starting to heat up.
Unfortunately, the culprit was still sleeping sweetly.
The night was beautiful, the surroundings were quiet, and only the two of them were there, with an atmosphere so wonderful it invited daydreams...
Especially the person in his arms, the one he had waited fifteen years for.
Dan Tingye’s dark eyes slightly flickered, as he gazed steadily at her little face, his hand unconsciously caressing her cheek.
"Meimei, I wonder if what’s in your heart is the same as mine?"
If she knew he had never considered her as a sister, how would she react?
"With Tingye here, I’m not afraid..." Meimei seemed to be dreaming of something, her hand clutching his clothes tightened slightly, her little mouth moved slightly, murmured something, and then she went quiet again.
"..."
Has he always been in her dreams?
In her heart, is it the same as in her dreams?
Hearing her repeatedly call him Tingye, Dan Tingye’s heart felt as if it was filled with something, his fingers brushed across her brow and eyes, looked at her slightly parted cherry lips, and slowly lowered his head to kiss her.
"Mm..."
Her soft lips were instantly addictive with just a gentle touch.
He originally intended to just give a light kiss, but in the end, he almost lost control. It was only her sleep-talking that made him stop in time, nearly waking her up.
This was, in the truest sense, their first kiss, and he had stolen it while she was asleep.
Dan Tingye’s whole body was filled with an indescribable heat as he watched the innocent and unsuspecting sleeping person in his arms, but he could only bear it.
The night deepened in the forest, the air growing colder. He couldn’t sleep due to his restlessness, so the temperature felt just right to him, but it wasn’t suitable for the sleeping Meimei.
In the middle of the night, she curled up into a ball, starting to call out that she was cold.
Dan Tingye draped his jacket over her, letting her lean against him, but it was still not enough.
Worried that she might catch a cold, he eventually called over Da Bai.
The snow-white fur made the best blanket. Da Bai lay down beside Meimei, like a thick quilt covering her, and the girl who had been curled up and shivering now slept soundly.
Dan Tingye watched her tirelessly, looking at her for the entire night.
When the morning light pierced through the trees, shining upon them, he even wondered if, if the day never broke, he might be able to hold her like this for the rest of his life...
"Quick, pull the curtains, it’s so glaring..."
Meimei turned over in his arms, her small hand groping in the air as if searching for a blanket to cover her little head. She kept grabbing nothing but air, and the place her little nose bumped into didn’t seem like a pillow, it felt a bit hard...
