Gu Ningyi steadied Dong Xin Yan's body, and his hanging heart slowly settled down. His dark eyes slightly drooped, and his gaze fell on Dong Xin Yan's face.
Her sleeping face was as serene as ever, her breathing calm and long, indicating that she had fallen into a deep sleep. Yet, she was not sleeping soundly; her brows were tightly knitted, forming small peaks, and her red lips were unconsciously pressed together.
What nightmare did she have again? Were her nightmares brought on by him once more?
Recalling Dong Xin Yan's expression of fear just now, his heart was suddenly pricked with pain, and his face turned slightly pale.
He then remembered that it seemed Dong Xin Yan had never been able to sleep peacefully by his side. Every time, she lay beside him, trembling with fear, even in her dreams, she was afraid.
However, he never wanted her to be afraid of him. He never wished... for her to fear him.
