The next day, Mu Yuan opened his eyes to find himself nestled against Ling Yan's pectoral muscles, his legs and arms draped over the other man's body.
Mu Yuan silently sucked in a breath.
He gently lifted his hands, feet, arms, and legs, quickly extricating himself from Ling Yan's embrace.
How had he slept so soundly?
It had been many years since he had slept so deeply and peacefully.
Perhaps the reason he could sleep so soundly last night was because the very person who constantly kept him awake and worried was sleeping beside him.
Mu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Completely relaxed, no longer needing to be constantly vigilant about being discovered, he realized that sleep could be this sweet.
Mu Yuan stretched languidly on the bed, then tiptoed across Ling Yan and got off the bed, opening the door and leaving the room.
After Mu Yuan left, Ling Yan opened his eyes, his gaze clear and alert.
