Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted

Chapter 73: Share a Bed

Mu Sheng became even angrier after hearing what Auntie Lin said.

How could he disregard his condition for the sake of some flowers? She had never noticed Li Hanchen having a penchant for white plum blossoms before.

Auntie Lin noticed the anger on Mu Sheng’s face and worried she might have said the wrong thing. “My bad.”

“It’s fine.” Despite Mu Sheng’s anger, Li Hanchen was genuinely good to her, so she could not leave him in the lurch. “Let me go check on him.”

“Okay.” Auntie Lin hurriedly nodded.

Li Hanchen lay in bed in the bedroom. He kept trembling nonstop and felt as though he was being stabbed by countless icy needles until every inch of skin was covered in blood.

Li Hanchen felt as though he was trapped in his old nightmare. The intense smell of blood and the cold air came surging towards him leaving him breathless.

He struggled in the boundless darkness. Just as he was about to suffocate, a faint sweet scent suddenly came towards him. It felt like a light breeze was blowing across hell, and he instinctively reached his hand up to grab it.

Mu Sheng was left in shock when Li Hanchen suddenly grabbed her hand. She looked at him closely and realized he had passed out and was just instinctively holding her.

Mu Sheng let Li Hanchen hold her hand as she used her right hand to retrieve her silver needles and perform acupuncture on him.

After 30 minutes, Li Hanchen finally calmed down. The pain stopped surging through his body and he felt at ease.

Mu Sheng put away her silver needles before getting up to leave. However, it was impossible to free her hand from Li Hanchen’s grip.

Mu Sheng attempted to use acupuncture to make Li Hanchen let go of her. Instead, Li Hanchen held onto her hand desperately regardless of what she tried.

Mu Sheng rubbed her forehead powerlessly. Patients sometimes automatically acted on instinct when they were unconscious. At times like this, there was nothing that could be done.

It would take at least four hours for Li Hanchen to wake up. Mu Sheng yawned a couple of times as it was already past 11:00 pm, and this was the time when she usually went to bed.

In her past life, Mu Sheng was unaware that men and women were socially expected to keep a safe distance. Also, she trusted Li Hanchen. She ended up pushing Li Hanchen a little to make space for herself before lying beside him.

As it got dark, the soft glow of the moon scattered on the white plum blossoms in the yard. For a moment, it was impossible to discern whether it was moonlight softening the lines of the white plum blossoms or the reverse.

Inside the room, Li Hanchen kept frowning in his sleep until he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes seemed bloodshot, and he was slightly giddy. He attempted to pull the blanket off and stand up when he suddenly noticed something and hastily turned to look beside him.

Mu Sheng was peacefully sleeping at arm’s length from him. Her flawless complexion looked particularly soft under the light as her curly eyelashes cast a shadow beneath her eyes.

Li Hanchen lowered his head to see himself holding Mu Sheng’s hand tightly. He was holding it so tightly that it had turned red. Li Hanchen instinctively let go. However, he changed his mind midway and continued holding her gently.

Li Hanchen glanced at Mu Sheng as she slept before lying back down. The blanket on Mu Sheng’s side had slid off a little when he tried to get up.

Li Hanchen reached his hand out and wanted to pull the blanket over towards Mu Sheng more.

Since Mu Sheng was fast asleep, she instinctively shrank inwards when she sensed the cold air coming in from behind in search of a warmer spot.

Li Hanchen was the warmest thing under the blanket.
