"Ah!" Ling Yiran suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed.
Nightmares? Nightmares again?
She gasped, and a low elegant voice rang in her ears. "What did you dream about?"
Ling Yiran jerked her head up and caught sight of Yi Jinli's face.
She said, "No-Nothing! Why are you in my room at this hour?"
"I couldn’t sleep," he said, lifting his hand to dab the sweat from her forehead with a tissue. "You're sweating a lot. More than when you were receiving treatment for your hands during the day. Did you dream about your time in prison?"
She stiffened immediately, and her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at him. 'He... knows?'
"You were stammering when you were asleep, so I figured it out," he said. It was because he had partly figured it out that he felt even more guilty when he saw the helpless and pained look on her face when she was asleep.
Hearing this, Ling Yiran smiled wryly. She had been nearby and heard him calling for his father and mother the last time he fell asleep with a fever. This time, it was the other way around.
"I just dreamed about my time in prison. I always have dreams like that, but I feel much better now," she said lightly.
He pressed his thin lips together lightly before suddenly saying, "Did you start sleeping with the lights on again after we broke up?"
She was silent. She could turn off the lights and go to sleep when she was at Yi Residence. However, she had to turn on the lights to go to sleep again after breaking up with him.
She could not go to sleep if the lights were turned off.
Although Ling Yiran did not answer, Yi Jinli already knew by looking at her expression.
