CHAPTER 243: CHAPTER 231: YU WENYE, ACTUALLY GOT ON THE BED!

Although she hadn’t left the tent since waking up, from the commotion outside, Shang Ruyi knew it should be nearing dusk now, as the sounds throughout the military camp gradually subsided, leaving only the patrol teams occasionally passing by outside, with the rhythmic sound of their footsteps.

At this time, it was naturally time to rest.

So, Shang Ruyi lay down by herself, afraid she might press onto her wound, more like fearing that she’d bump into someone if they suddenly entered the tent, she turned to her side, facing away from the entrance, and fell asleep.

But having been in a stupor for two days, she really couldn’t fall asleep again, and what’s more—

Whenever she recalled what had happened before, her heart throbbed wildly, that intense upheaval even prevented her from lying quietly on her side, making her whole body shiver.

Why did it feel like this?

She couldn’t help but reach out and grip the collar of her clothes tightly at her chest.

And just at that moment, the tent flap was lifted by someone.

A gust of wind wrapped tiny snowflakes and blew them inside, then the tent flap fell again, shutting out all cold frost, instantly restoring the quiet inside the tent.

But amidst this silence, footsteps sounded again.

One step, then another.

Slowly approaching her bedside, every step more deliberate, every step heavier.

Finally stopping at the bedside.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi’s heartbeat almost stopped.

Even though she hadn’t turned around, even though she had her eyes closed, she knew who was behind her. After all, there wasn’t another person who could make her heart race uncontrollably without even speaking. The slower his steps, the faster her heart beat. At this moment, it almost seemed ready to burst out of her fragile chest.

Shang Ruyi desperately gripped her chest, even wishing she could grab hold of her own heart.

Stop beating!

Would the person standing behind her know that her heart raced like this for him? Even if he knew, wouldn’t it just be indifferently brushed off as—a deal, urging her to live more clearly, to stop entertaining those fanciful dreams?

Again a racing heartbeat, again the urge to stop it, the conflicting emotions almost tore her heart in two at this instant.

Yet her back remained calm.

The figure lying on her side appeared even more slender and frail, even with the heavy brocade quilt covering her, it only faintly outlined a slight curve. The person behind her instinctively reached out, as if trying to stroke her thin shoulder, but his fingers stalled in mid-air.

Though not touching her, Shang Ruyi distinctly felt her skin pricked as if by something.

Her breath quickened momentarily.

Fortunately, fortunately Yu Wenye hadn’t really touched her, otherwise, he would surely have discovered her chaotic heartbeat and disordered breathing, and the flicker of hope within her heart would lay exposed before him.

Fortunately, fortunately...

Just as she was continually grateful in her heart, suddenly, she felt a warm breath envelop her whole body from behind—

Yu Wenye had actually gotten onto the bed!

Not only did he get onto the bed, but he also lay on his side behind her, extending a hand to gently encircle her waist, pulling her gently into his embrace!

At this moment, Shang Ruyi’s breath completely hitched!

How could it be?

Was she dreaming? Or had Yu Wenye lost his mind?

Why was he doing this? Clearly, there was no outsider here, nor were they at Yuwen Mansion, no need to put on a loving couple appearance for anyone to see, so why did he still get onto her bed? Why did he hold her like this?

Shang Ruyi held her breath forcefully, her hand clutching the collar at her chest trembling uncontrollably.

Yet, the person behind continued closing in on her, his solid chest pressed against her back. Shang Ruyi even worried that her heartbeat had already been sensed by him, betraying all her emotions and heartaches.

Despite the freezing cold with snow sealing the sky outside, and only a single brazier inside the tent which didn’t provide much warmth, and the icy wind blowing in when the tent was lifted, but now Shang Ruyi was sweating profusely, even a bead of sweat slid down from her forehead, trickling into her eyes, along with something boiling hot mixed in, dripping down from the corner of her eye.

Her entire being was about to be shattered by the moment’s pounding heartbeat.

The person behind her, what exactly was he trying to do?!
