Grandma Ye was worried and came over to ask, "What's wrong? Let grandma take a look."
With a flushed face, Ye Xi only said, "It's nothing, it wasn't a mosquito, it's nothing…"
The topic could have been glossed over, but Lu Youheng asked again, "What bit you then?"
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Ye Xi certainly couldn't say it was Lu Lingxiao who had bitten her, could she?
Seeing Ye Xi's flushed face and her stammering, Grandma Ye seemed to understand something in an instant.
She turned around and said, "Alright, it's late at night; you should also go to sleep early. I'll go turn off the lights."
Only then did Ye Xi lift the blanket and lay down beside Lu Youheng.
Because Lu Youheng always had the habit of sleeping with a nightlight on, as the nights in the countryside are pitch-black, after rustling for a moment, he finally stretched out his chubby little arms and hugged Ye Xi's neck.
He said in a soft voice, "Teacher Ye, I'm a bit scared."
