Chapter 273

unedited

Xi Ning slowly let go and whispered, “I’m sorry, you can go back and rest.”

Lin An looked at the table, because Xi Ning was in a bad mood recently, and the flowers on the table were not in good condition. He restrained the urge to touch Xi Ning’s hair and whispered, “I’m not leaving, Your Highness, you can sleep in ease.”

“Really?” Xi Ning instantly became happy, he grabbed Lin An’s wrist again and pulled it closer, “Then do you want to……”

He wanted Lin An to sleep in the bed with him, but Lin An would definitely not agree.

There was a small blanket in front of the bed, Lin An was sitting on it. He covered Xi Ning with the quilt with his other hand, “Go to sleep, I’m not sleepy yet.”

With him around, Xi Ning’s emotions were soothed a lot. He clenched his warm hands, and even though the carriage was still shaking slightly, he felt a lot better.

Xi Ning fell asleep holding Lin An’s hand, and Lin An sat in this posture all night.

The next day, Xi Ning felt much better. When the night arrived, he still wanted Lin An to accompany him, and called him into the carriage before going to bed.

“Can you sleep here in the future?” Xi Ning whispered with anticipation in his eyes, “I can sleep better when you are with me.”

Lin An didn’t quite understand the reason, but he quickly responded, “Okay, I’ll make some preparations.”

Xi Ning thought he would refuse, but he didn’t expect Lin An to agree so easily. He quickly took a mattress and placed it by the door. Xi Ning asked him to place it beside his bed, so that he would be closer to him.

The bed in the carriage was very low, and it was almost like sleeping beside Xi Ning. Lin An paused, and obediently put the mattress near Xi Ning.

After tidying up, Lin An waited for Xi Ning to go to bed first before taking off the mask on his face, but Xi Ning lay down on his side and said, “Take off the mask.”

Lin An hesitated for a while, then went to turn off the lamp on the table before taking off the mask and placing it on the table.

Having been with Xi Ning for a long time, Lin An understands his personality better, he no longer needs to ask him about some trivial matters, and will just do it directly.

The sight in the carriage became dimmed. Lin An went to his mattress and lay down with his clothes on. He said softly, “Your Highness, go to sleep.”

Xi Ning felt his presence and breath, and closed his eyes obediently.

He fell asleep facing Lin An’s direction. Lin An could see Xi Ning’s face when he tilted his head, and he saw a few strands of silver hair hanging by the bed.

Lin An also turned sideways and watched Xi Ning for a long time in the dark before slowly falling asleep.

In the middle of the night, Xi Ning woke up as usual. He couldn’t tell whether it was because the carriage was shaking again, or if he had formed a habit of continuously waking up in the middle of the night these days.

When he opened his eyes, he immediately saw Lin An beside him. The other party was breathing gently, and it seemed that he was not affected by the night travel at all.

Xi Ning moved a little closer to the bed, stretched out his hand to touch Lin An. Lin An who was sleeping suddenly moved slightly and opened his eyes, “Your Highness?”

His voice was very soft, Xi Ning was still in the daze after waking up and accidentally rolled off the bed. Lin An quickly stepped forward to catch him.

Xi Ning put his arms around Lin An’s waist, and his brain became a lot more clearer, but he didn’t want to let go or speak. He held his arms tighter and buried his face in Lin An’s clothes.

Lin An’s breath stagnated, and after waiting for a while, Xi Ning didn’t have any other movement. He lowered his head and whispered again, “Your Highness?”

Xi Ning didn’t respond, and after leaning in front of him for a while, his breathing became steady again.

There is still a long way before arriving at the ghost forest. It will be an issue if Xi Ning always gets sleep deprivation. Lin An’s fingertips emit a trace of smoke, slowly drifting into Xi Ning’s body, Xi Ning that was in his arms sleeps more deeply, this time unless he takes back his spiritual energy, Xi Ning will not wake up again tonight.

This is also the reason why he agreed to sleep in the carriage so easily. He can approach Xi Ning more easily, so that he could use spells on him more inconspicuously. If there is any unexpected situation he could also respond quickly.

The system didn’t see Lin An’s actions. It felt sorry for Xi Ning, but suddenly it’s sight went dark. Not only could it not see the outside world, but it could no longer contact Xi Ning.

The system panicked to see if there was any bug, and after checking the data, an instruction appeared.

[Because the master is affected by the spells in this world, the system is temporarily blocked and cannot contact the master. ]

The spells in this world…… It didn’t expect the spells in this world to have such a big impact, the system has calmed down, and it didn’t find anything abnormal just now. In this case, isn’t Lin An the only one who was using spells on Xi Ning.

It knew that Lin An was not that simple. What did he intend to do by using spells on Xi Ning?

The system can’t contact Xi Ning, so it can only hope that Lin An will never hurt Xi Ning like the previous worlds.

Lin An had already put Xi Ning back on the bed, sat on the ground and stretched out his hand, tracing the outline of Xi Ning’s face with his fingertips.

He touched the long silver hair as he wished, tangled strands of it between his fingers, leaned in and sniffed the fragrance of the grass in his hair, and then slowly let go and put it down to sort it out.

In the end, Lin An also took Xi Ning’s hand and gently kissed his fingertips.
