C23 (1/2)

Huo Tinton looked up at his watch. At ten-thirty in the evening, this girl should have already washed up and put on her clothes.

He walked over to the TV cabinet and unplugged the video control from behind the LCD TV and plugged it into a square machine that glowed red in the center.

Taking up the remote control, Huo Ting backed up a few steps and leaned left on the couch. He tapped the red power supply with his finger and white snowflakes began to appear on the TV.

The camera was recording the scene in Ye Jinxin's bedroom.

Afraid that she might not dare to go into the bathroom alone later, she washed up in the bathroom and came out in her loose pajamas.

The girl sat on the bed, wiping her wet hair with a white towel while looking around with suspicion. There were six lights in the room: the main light, the wall light, and even the small orange light on the bedside table had been turned on. The room was bright, so Huo Tindong could clearly see Ye Jinxin's expression.

He had already made up his mind. If this girl really couldn't overcome the fear of sleeping by herself, he would let her move in tomorrow. At most, she would just sleep on the sofa.

Actually, there was still a better solution. For example, spending money to find someone to sleep with Ye Jinxin was not difficult at all, but Huo Tindong felt uncomfortable. Even if it was a woman who slept with Ye Jinxin, he still felt uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was only because he was too used to it and did not want others to live in his house.

The girl still didn't dare to sleep. She just leaned on the back of the bed and stared blankly. Sometimes she would turn her head to the left, sometimes she would turn it to the right, and sometimes she would unconsciously raise her hand and nibble on her index finger.

The wind outside the door seemed to be blowing, the curtains fluttered, the girl's eyes glanced over, and with a scream, she picked up the quilt and buried her face deep in it.

The man was so shocked by her scream that he stood up from the sofa. After standing there for a long time, he finally sat down. Ye Jin had to rely on herself to walk over this mental barrier.

The wind had stopped and the curtains were no longer fluttering. The girl slowly poked her head out of the blanket and stared out the window.

Huo Tindong looked at his watch. It was almost midnight, and this girl had been busy for almost two hours. The man's brows furrowed into a deep frown. If the child still didn't sleep, he would have to go down and fish for him. With her small physique, how could she survive an entire night?

Whether it was because she was too tired or the fear slowly disappeared, the girl's head began to nod slowly and she started to doze off. However, it was obvious that she didn't dare to lie down and sleep, she only adjusted her sitting posture, added an extra pillow behind her back, leaned against the back of the bed, and found a comfortable position on her head to sleep.

Huo Ting Dong sighed in relief when he saw that the person in the camera had finally stopped moving. However, a sense of loss surfaced in his heart. Without him accompanying her, she could finally fall asleep.

With the key in his hand, he opened the door with a click, hiding his feet as best he could in the thick wool carpet.

Quietly approaching the girl, he put one hand through her neck and the other on her knee, slowly lifting her up and putting her back on the bed. Then he pulled the blanket over her, covering her tightly.

”Good night.” Huo Ting Dong kissed the girl on the forehead. ”You did very well and were very brave.”

The man tried his best to suppress the disappointment in his heart. When he went out, he turned off the main light.

When she woke up early in the morning, Ye Jin was extremely excited. She didn't expect the fear that had been bothering her for more than ten years to be resolved in one night. She thought that she would not be able to sleep.
