Yang Chuxia leaned tightly against him, and after that sentence, she didn't hear his voice for a long while; when she looked up, she realized he had fallen asleep.
Upon closer inspection, the dark circles under his eyes were very evident, and she wondered how long he had been without sleep in order to hurry on the road. She couldn't help but feel distressed; it seemed incredibly arduous to be an official these days.
Noticing that he had indeed lost some weight, Yang Chuxia thought for a moment before softly getting out of bed and instructing Mingcui in another room before she returned.
Ye Zi'an, in a groggy state, suddenly noticed the emptiness in his arms and barely opened his eyes to find Yang Chuxia at the bedside.
He then got up and pulled her back into bed.
"What are you doing up?"
"It's nothing, go back to sleep."
"Hmm."
The next day, Yang Chuxia got up early and went to the kitchen, where the cook had already prepared the food, and Yang Chuxia brought it back.
