Looking at Zhang Qiling, whose brow remained tightly furrowed even in sleep, Qingye did not pull back her hand which he was holding in a tight grip. With her other hand, she pressed gently against the center of his forehead, smoothing away the frown, then pulled a blanket over him and lay down on her side beside him.
Resting her forehead against Zhang Qiling's, she murmured, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you," and closed her eyes, letting both her aching head and heart rest.
Nearby by the table, Zhang Haixing rested her chin in her hand, turning her head to look at the figure resting not far away. "Brother, is the Ancestor really alright? She's been asleep for two days already."
