Xia Shi further explained: "If it weren't for Xiaoyi, I wouldn't have let you stay. So, you can do your own thing and sleep on the sofa."

Lu Nanchen also knew that she was still angry about what happened last time.

"Okay, I'll sleep on the sofa." He agreed.

Xia Shi then returned to the bedroom, washed up, and lay down to rest.

But Lu Nanchen couldn't sleep. He sat on the sofa outside and watched the lights in Xia Shi's bedroom not far away turn off.

Xia Shi didn't sleep well tonight, maybe because too many things happened during the day.

Late at night, she was troubled by nightmares and talked in her sleep.

"Go, go..."

Lu Nanchen was lying on the sofa, not sleeping at all. When he heard Xia Shi talking in his sleep, he got up immediately.

Fortunately, Xia Shi's bedroom door was not closed. He came to the bedside and held Xia Shi's hand: "Xiao Shi, what's wrong?"

Xia Shi grasped his hand in a daze.

"Save me, save me..."

In the nightmare, she was targeted by countless people and couldn't find a way to save herself. She grabbed a life-saving straw and couldn't bear to let go.

Lu Nanchen held her hand tightly: "I'm here, it's okay, it's okay."

Xia Shi was woken up by the sound of talking in his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Nan standing beside him and holding his hand.

She quickly pulled away her right hand and returned to her usual indifference.

"Get out quickly."

Lu Nanchen didn't listen to her this time: "I'll sleep here."

Xia Shi's face instantly turned red: "Didn't I tell you clearly? You sleep outside."

"I can make a bed on the floor and sleep next to you. That way if you have nightmares again, I'll be close to you so I can take care of you." Lu Nanchen replied gently.

Xia Shi originally wanted to say no, but the contents of the dream flashed in his mind and he refused.

"OK then."

Lu Nanchen spread a quilt and slept next to Xia Shi.

Xia Shi closed his eyes again, but found it difficult to fall asleep. He tossed and turned and felt very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

In the darkness, Lu Nan's deep voice came.

Xia Shi was silent for a moment before replying: "Well, maybe I went to bed too early, and I can't sleep now."

She didn't say it was because there were too many things going on during the day. Sometimes it was too difficult for people to control their thoughts.

"Since I can't sleep, let's talk?"

"What are you talking about?"

Xia Shi leaned towards him.

In the dim light, she couldn't see Lu Nanchen's face clearly, so she heard him say: "Let's talk about what happened last time."

Xia Shi's expression changed slightly, but before he spoke, Lu Nanchen said again: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing last time."

He didn't know how to explain it and thought it would be best to apologize.

When Xia Shi heard his apology, he pursed his lips and didn't know what to think about.

When he didn't get a response from Xia Shi, Lu Nanchen's eyes were full of disappointment: "If you don't want to talk about this, let's talk about something else."

"it is good."

Xia Shi finally spoke.

"What do you want to talk about?" Lu Nanchen asked.

Xia Shi thought for a while: "Let's talk about the time when we first got married. At that time, I thought you were Lu Nanyu. Do you think I cheated on the marriage? Didn't you have any good impressions of me at all at that time?"

A deathly silence fell in the air.

Lu Nanchen's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his memory returned to the past.

To be honest, when he saw Xia Shi for the first time, he thought the little girl was very pretty and gentle, and he didn't feel any dislike for her at all.

When the two got engaged, he was also willing.

"If it weren't for the misunderstanding, I wouldn't hate you at all."
