87 Her dream (2/2)

Liu Wei froze. He shifted his gaze to her face and realized that she was still sleeping. His brows creased for a moment and he tried to release himself from her grasp but Liling moved to hold him by his arm, this time tighter than before.

What was wrong with her? Why was she acting so strange this night?

Liu Wei's heart beat started racing when Liling who was holding his arm move to hug him by the waist.

His throat tightened as his face flushed deep red.

He instinctively tried to release himself when he heard her whisper sadly.

”Mom...why do you want to leave? ”

”Won't you stay just this once?... I've missed you... so much.. so badly!”

Liling sniffed as she held him tighter.

Liu Wei felt his body paralyze when he felt a wetness on his shirt.

He immediately shifted her hair from her face only to find her weeping. Her brows were creased in pain, it was obvious that she was dreaming about something or someone.

His resolve weakened when he saw her teary face. He couldn't bring himself to leave after seeing her like that.

After much contemplation, he adjusted himself on the bed all the while Liling had her hands around him, not letting go for a second.

Liling drew closer to him and Liu Wei who had been finding it hard breathing could do nothing but gently pat her back.

He couldn't bring himself to sleep, first and foremost, he didn't even feel sleepy, nobody could sleep under that type of torture and secondly, he didn't want Liling waking up and seeing him beside her on her bed, that would be extremely awkward, and he hadn't even figured out the best explanation to give her.

So he remained there, counting the seconds. After a while, her breath became even again, though she hadn't loosened her grasp.

Liu Wei looked down at her, even though they were like this because of her dream, he couldn't help but smile.
