CHAPTER 29: My Little Girl (20)
Sheng Qianmo carried the little girl back to his bed . Shu Nuan was sleeping soundly and showed no signs of being disturbed when he moved . She even grasped his arm like a pillow . For her comfort, Sheng Qianmo let it be embraced so .
Shu Nuan’s two hands held onto his arm, as her face pressed against it . Her hot breath sprayed on his arm, making him feel a warm sensation on his skin . But deep down, it did not affect his emotions .
Sheng Qianmo bowed his head, looking at the little girl sleeping in his arms . He reached out with his finger to touch her nose . It seemed she could tell something was touching her as she slightly wrinkled her nose . From seeing her react like this, Sheng Qianmo’s mouth curved upwards as he thought of a wicked idea . He pinched her nose, and upon doing so Shu Nuan’s brows knitted together even tighter .
Still asleep, she brought her hand up toward her nose . Yet Sheng Qianmo easily captured it before she could wave away whatever was disturbing her . She seemed to like it, looking almost relieved as her hand rested in his palm . To maintain this pleasant feeling, she dared not move .
Sheng Qianmo then gently squeezed her hand, but this time the sleeping girl seemed to dislike it, as she tried to free her hand . She murmured something in a low voice and turned back from him, as if unwilling to sleep with him .
Sheng Qianmo didn’t tease the little girl any more . He laid down sideways against her back . Stretching out his arms, he put them around her waist as he bowed his head . Against her soft hair, he slowly closed his eyes .
Sheng Qianmo didn’t know how long he slept for . His eyebrows knitted together as he woke up facing Shu Nuan . He embraced her earnestly . Small hands clutched at his back out of the blue .
Thinking about how this girl could not settle down at all while sleeping一doesn’t matter how quiet and clever she was awake一he couldn’t help but find it interesting .
After a while she curled up and leaned forward as she placed her foot on his leg, then like a koala on a branch, hugged him earnestly . Like a child that didn’t feel safe and wanted to hold on to the thing that made it feel at ease .
Although Sheng Qianmo was unable to sleep at first because of how restless she got, he soon got used to it . He found out that as long as he held her firm, she would not move much .
The lamp on the bedside was bright, and outside the room the moon was also making an appearance with its light seeping into the room .
Over time, the clouds on the horizon brightened .
Early in the morning, Shu Nuan woke up in a daze . She felt something warm and familiar against her body . Puzzled, she opened her eyes to a vision foggy from sleep . Suddenly she wanted, and tried, to move but found her hands and legs staying still .
Shu Nuan found herself holding someone . She was even bear hugging him with all limbs .
Shu Nuan held her breath and lifted her head carefully .
Her gaze went over his Adam’s apple before the man’s face came into view . He had his eyes closed but the indifference and coldness remained as ever . Maybe because his eyes that usually looked quite oppressing were closed, but for a moment she had the illusion that this person looked very gentle .
As Shu Nuan held her breath she also stared unblinking at the man in front of her . She didn’t move until she finally recovered after a while . The little girl tried to move the hand that held her narrow back, only to hear Sheng Qianmo’s deep voice .
“I’ve been holding you all night, is it not enough?”
