Chapter 1160: Entering the Dream IV
The deep and mysterious eyes, at this moment, had an unfathomable gaze, like the midnight sea, silent, soundless, yet exuding an indescribable dangerous depth.
"Demon?"
Tian Tian tightened her grip, her hand suddenly grew warm as Bai Chenyao held it, followed by Bai Chenyao’s deep and rich voice in her ear.
"What kind of demon scares you like this?"
Tian Tian’s face turned even more unsightly when she thought of Shen Tiancheng’s humiliation in her dream.
But how could she bring herself to tell Bai Chenyao about such things?
"It was too dark to see clearly, but... but I just felt... it felt eerie, very frightening!"
Bai Chenyao did not ask further, only giving her a meaningful look, gently holding her hand, pulling her into his embrace.
"I’ll hold you while you sleep!"
"Mm!"
Leaning into Bai Chenyao’s firm chest, Tian Tian closed her eyes.
There was still a faint sweat because of the nightmare, but nestled in Bai Chenyao’s embrace, she didn’t even want to move.
If it were another time, Tian Tian would have blushed, but at this moment...
She was truly afraid to sleep alone; only with Bai Chenyao holding her like this did she feel at ease.
Looking at Tian Tian in his arms with her eyes closed, her face still pale, Bai Chenyao squinted slightly, his expression calm.
Only when Tian Tian fell asleep again did Bai Chenyao look away, glance at the clock, and lay down holding Tian Tian.
At his slight movement, Tian Tian suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of fear in them.
"A Yao?"
Bai Chenyao frowned slightly, looking at Tian Tian as if she were a startled bird, his eyes deep and mysterious.
"What’s wrong?"
Tian Tian’s expression was somewhat dazed. Seeing that it was indeed Bai Chenyao holding her, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and smiled faintly.
"It’s nothing, just... just worried that you’d leave while I was asleep."
Bai Chenyao said nothing, only gently stroking her back, his movements gentle and slow, gradually calming Tian Tian’s slightly anxious heart.
Snuggling closer into Bai Chenyao’s embrace, wrapping her arms around him, Tian Tian spoke softly, her voice sweet and pleasant.
"You sleep too!"
"Mm!"
In this way, they lay on the bed, entwined, inseparable.
Tian Tian had no impression of when she fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning.
The curtains were still drawn. If not for the time on the clock, Tian Tian might have thought it was still night.
Tian Tian turned her head to the side, finding the space beside her empty.
Reaching out to touch, she found the spot beside her cool; Bai Chenyao must have gotten up long ago.
School was already on winter break, and even if it wasn’t, due to Xu Rou’s matters, she temporarily didn’t need to attend classes—a rather idle person.
The nightmare from last night suddenly flashed through her mind, making Tian Tian’s face look troubled.
Dreaming was normal, but dreaming of Shen Tiancheng, and in that way—Tian Tian found it inconceivable.
Or perhaps she was provoked by Shen Tiancheng’s lewd words every time they met?
"That must be it!"
As if comforting herself, Tian Tian said this before quickly getting up.
After freshening up and tidying herself, Tian Tian left the bedroom.
Downstairs, Nanny Zhang seemed to be waiting for her.
"Ma’am, you’re up. The breakfast is warm; I’ll bring it to you right away."
Tian Tian smiled, nodded, and agreed, entering the dining room.
