Su Binglan leaned into Luo Jin’an’s arms and put half her weight on him. It was not her first time hugging him, so she did not feel uncomfortable when he held her in his arms.
That was because she was a little sleepy, so her mind was blank, and she did not have the mood to think about anything else.
Luo Jin’an’s heart ached when he saw Su Binglan like this. “You always keep yourself busy. Take a break, and don’t tire yourself out.” He felt she had always been busy from morning to night and never had time to rest.
Su Binglan shook her head, “I’m fine. I’m not tired.”
She did not know why, but she could easily relax in front of Luo Jin’an. She could hear Luo Jin’an’s strong heartbeat as she leaned into his arms. Every beat was compelling, and it made her feel at ease.
Furthermore, Luo Jin’an’s body had a faint, pleasant fragrance. It was light and refreshing, and it smelled good. Su Binglan was still in a daze and could not help but take a few deep breaths. She was very familiar with this smell.
Luo Jin’an did not know why he pulled Su Binglan in, as it was just an instinctive reaction. Since she had been swamped these past few days, the couple barely had time to talk.
Perhaps he just wanted to hug her, or maybe he just wanted to talk to her. Luo Jin’an only followed her heart for a moment. He wanted to talk to his wife when he returned from the academy but could only sigh when he saw how tired she was.
“You said you’re not tired, but look at yourself. Go to sleep.” He only let go of her after reluctantly saying that.
However, Su Binglan was about to fall asleep. “What?”
She was currently in Luo Jin’an’s arms with her eyes closed. She had almost fallen asleep and was in a daze. If it were anywhere else, Su Binglan would not be like this, but for some reason, she felt very at ease and relaxed in Luo Jin’an’s arms.
Su Binglan was exhausted, so she relaxed her muscles and did not want to move. At that moment, Luo Jin’an was also holding her waist with one hand, supporting her body.
Luo Jin’an heard his wife’s mumbling, looked down, and noticed that she had fallen asleep in his arms. Her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes were fluttering. She was not fully asleep yet.
Luo Jin’an sighed helplessly. “I’ll carry you to the bed, okay?”
Su Binglan nodded in confusion. In reality, she did not know what Luo Jin’an was saying. She only subconsciously replied with an “uhuh.”
Then Luo Jin’an gently carried Su Binglan in his arms, placed her on the brick bed, and removed her shoes and coat. His actions were gentle, as if he was treating a treasure, afraid of waking Su Binglan up.
When he took off Su Binglan’s coat, sweat covered his forehead. He could not help but think of what he had seen in the past.
Su Binglan was in a bath back then and did not move for a long time. Luo Jin’an got worried about her and entered the bathroom only to find that she was asleep. He fished her out, wiped her clean, and placed her on the bed.
Luo Jin’an had been in a hurry at the time, so he had not thought much about it, but he had seen it. He could not help but think of these things when he carried her to the bed this time.
After carrying Su Binglan to the bed, he placed a pillow under her head. Luo Jin’an finally heaved a sigh of relief and was about to lie down when his wife flipped over and hugged him as if she had just caught a big fish.
Su Binglan was hugging Luo Jin’an like she was hugging a pillow. She used all her strength to nuzzle against his chest) listening to his heartbeat as if listening to a hypnotic sound, and continued sleeping. She had fallen asleep, and her actions were automatic.
However, Luo Jin’an dared not move when he looked at the person in his arms.
His body was stiff because he feared disturbing her sleep if he flipped her over.
After all, Su Binglan was exhausted. If Luo Jin’an woke her up, she would not be able to rest well, and he would feel terrible. Luo Jin’an let out a long sigh and whispered, “I don’t know what to do with you sometimes.”
He could only use one hand to gently pull the blanket over and cover both of them. Hugging his wife like that felt like delightful torture. He hugged and looked at her but did not feel like sleeping.
At that moment, Su Binglan’s long hair hung loosely behind her, scattered across her pillow. The moonlight shone into the room, casting a moving light throughout. When the light landed on Su Binglan’s hair, it made her hair look blacker and softer.
Luo Jin’an’s body stiffened. He looked at her hair and could not help but reach out to touch it. Su Binglan’s hair gently brushed against his palm, causing a slight tickle he could not bear to let go of.
Su Binglan had a strange dream that night. She dreamed that she had become Lan Ruobing again, the princess everyone talked about. As Lan Ruobing, she dreamed of the blood on the battlefield as she slept.
Lan Ruobing dreamt that many had died on the battlefield, especially the Wei family’s army. Many of the family’s army men had died. The major general had brought all the Wei family men there, but none returned, and their battle garments were stained with blood.
Lan Ruobing was jolted awake. Then she rode a horse with her weak body in the middle of the night and went directly to the Wei family’s home. Still, it was the dead of night, and the Wei family’s doors were closed.
Lan Yi was right behind Lan Ruobing when he said, “Mistress, the Wei family will be going to war tomorrow. Entering their home in the dead of night will wake them and the people secretly watching them. Also, the Wei family has an internal defense.”
Lan Ruobing said, “Lan Yi, I won’t alert them, but I must tell Brother Jin’an something. He’ll believe me.”
Her body was frail, but she could still support herself as she sat on the horse. “Please take care of yourself, Princess Lan.” Lan Yi was worried about Lan Ruobing, but no one could change her mind whenever she decided on something.
Moreover, everyone knew how important Young General Wei was to her. Lan Yi was anxious when Lan Ruobing plucked a leaf from a nearby tree and blew it gently.
A clear and melodious sound echoed in the night, and a young man opened the back door and came out. It was like he was stepping into the moonlight, like a poem or a painting. He resembled jade trees, looking immortal, elegant, and peerless.
However, he exuded a cold and hard demeanor. The youth was like the night’s cold light, with a blade’s sharpness. He stood there quietly, like the most beautiful painting.
However, the iciness in his eyes melted, and his gaze became warm and gentle when he saw Lan Ruobing. His gaze was as warm and elegant as a piece of Jade..
