He spoke very softly and obediently, afraid that even the slightest harshness would displease her. "Just tonight... Just this one night." "I'll be good, I won't move around or disturb you." "I'm so cold..." He lowered his eyes, his voice carrying a childlike, shallow grievance, vulnerable and defenseless: "It's always so cold at night, I can never get warm." She raised her hand, gently brushing away the damp stray hairs on his cheek, her fingertips softly tracing his tear-streaked face, her voice hoarse yet utterly tender, carrying a belated indulgence: "Okay." "Whatever you want." He buried his head lightly in the crook of her neck, his nose resting against her warm skin, steadily drawing in the warmth that belonged only to her, a warmth he had longed for for years. Those slender, pale arms wrapped around her waist with extreme lightness and restraint, their grip loose and shallow, not daring to tighten, but simply nestled against her obediently, almost unbelievably docile. Countless cold nights before, he had huddled in the icy blankets, the chill gnawing at his bones, nightmares haunting his mind, each blink filled with endless cold and fear. But tonight was different. A warm person was in his arms, a comforting breath wafted from his nose, and beside him lay the home he had longed for. The biting chill gradually receded from his limbs, even the old ache in his chest seemed to be gently soothed by this tender warmth. Su Mu raised her hand, her palm gently resting on his thin back, slowly, softly stroking his spine. The movements were slow, gentle, carrying a silent comfort, each stroke tender beyond measure. The person in her arms was so thin, their bones frail and bony. Even through the thin fabric, she could clearly feel the gaunt, bony frame honed by years of illness. Su Mu felt a pang of sadness, and her caresses became even gentler. Mu Feng completely relaxed, his nerves, stretched taut for years, finally letting go. He lazily nuzzled her neck, like a young animal finding a safe haven. His warm, long breaths gently caressed her skin, soft and comforting. "Sui Sui..." His eyes were half-closed, his voice languid and soft. "So warm..." Dawn broke, and dappled sunlight filtered through the window, casting a thin layer on the bed, dispelling the gentle haze of the night. Su Mu was awakened by the steady, warm breath beside her. The moment her consciousness returned, she clearly felt the warm weight of the person in her arms; the boy's shallow breaths fell on her neck, soft and warm, his arms loosely encircling her waist. "Oh my god, how did I get here!" Su Mu's pupils contracted, and she froze abruptly. She... Had actually slept with Mu Feng all night. And let him hold her. Su Mu held her breath, not daring to move an inch, and lowered her eyes slightly to look at the person in her arms. Mu Feng slept very soundly and peacefully. His long eyelashes fell gently, covering his pale eyelids, the humility and fear of the past gone, his brows and eyes relaxed, a tranquility he hadn't shown in years. Although his face was still pale, the warmth of the night had removed some of the chilling sickness. She didn't dare to disturb him, afraid that if she opened her eyes, they would fall into an awkward silence again. So, with utmost care, inch by inch, she gently pried open his thin arms wrapped around her waist. The boy's fingertips were warm and relaxed, his strength extremely light, already extremely restrained. When she gently moved them away, he only unconsciously frowned slightly, subconsciously shifting to the empty space, without waking up. Su Mu let out a long sigh of relief, her movements as light as flowing clouds as she slowly pulled away from his embrace and stood up. She didn't even dare to look back at the sleeping person on the bed. She straightened her clothes, suppressed the complex emotions surging in her heart, and with extremely light, almost silent steps, quickly slipped out of the room. The wooden door closed gently, shutting out the warmth that filled the room.
