fallen asleep, his head lolling back. Because this posture was not comfortable, even though he was slumbering, his brows were still wrinkled. A woolen blanket was draped over his body, perhaps one of the attendants had covered him after he had fallen asleep because he was still wearing the suit from last night.
The curtains fluttered with the early morning breeze and strand of his hair messily covering his forehead was ruffled slightly by the wind, which actually detracted from his usually arrogant and imposing manner. Seeing him like this, he seemed like a normal young man, gentle and handsome, and even some peaceful childishness peeked through. His lips were very thin, and even in slumber, he had them pressed together tightly, still appearing firm and determined.
She stared blankly for a while, and then moved slightly, disturbing her wound, she could not help but exclaim ‘aiya’. Even though the sound was soft, Murong Feng woke up suddenly, and tossed his blanket aside to look at her: “What’s wrong?” She saw that his expression was gentle and concerned, his eyes were slightly bloodshot, and knowing perfectly well that he has been very busy these past few days, yet he still stayed with her the entire night, she could not help but be moved, so she said quietly: “It’s nothing.” He yawned and said: “It’s already bright outside, I meant to only sit here for a while last night, but I accidentally drifted off to sleep.”
Jing Wan replied: “Liu Shao, please go back to rest.” Murong Feng said: “In a little while, I will need to handle some matters.” Gazing at her, he smiled slightly and said: “Let me stay with you a bit longer.” Deep down, Jing Wan was surprised, and avoiding his gaze, she asked with a slight smile: “Elder Brother, has Jian Zhang returned?” Murong Feng then called for a servant to ask, only to hear a lacking response: “Young Master Xu was drunk last night, and Commander Yu sent someone to bring him back. He is resting in the guest room right now.”
