Ye Xi thought Lu Lingxiao wanted to do something, but he just held her in his arms and, contentedly said from behind her, "Sleep."
Ye Xi, tightly embraced by Lu Lingxiao, couldn't move at all.
With no choice, Ye Xi sighed deeply and then quieted down.
…
It was still dark when Youyou was woken by the urge to pee.
Upon opening his eyes, he found the space beside him empty.
He sat up from the bed with a toss, scratched his tufted little occiput, and looked around.
Grandma Ye, a light sleeper, also opened her eyes upon hearing the noise, and asked, "Youyou, why aren't you sleeping?"
Half-asleep, Lu Youheng met Grandma Ye's gaze, "Where's Teacher Ye?"
Grandma Ye was taken aback by the question, but then, looking at the empty space beside Youyou, she suddenly understood something.
So she told Youyou, "Perhaps she went to the bathroom; she'll be back in a moment."
